Sunset,

Thanks for posting this. I was pleasantly surprised by Osimhen's lethality at the WC. Prior to the WC and during the qualifiers he was reported for missing chances even though he led the team in scoring. I hope he continues to work hard because his body build leads me to believe that as he grows his body is going to fill up and that may affect pace going forward. If he isn't careful, his willingness to work hard as his body changes will determine whether or not he goes far. This is the issue at predicting how well a lad this age will do at the pro level.
The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

Maybe it's just me but looking at this video it seems our boys are getting more technical at a younger age. You see the way this boy is striking the ball, Nwakali's freekicks, the way Kelechi strikes the ball. There's a trend in the new generation. Maybe it's the "academy" effect.
