World Cup Teams & Reported Age Averages

Post by Enugu II »

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

Plantainian, you should be prostrating every time you want to post on SE related matters.

Do you want to collect another 4 goals?

We invite a couple of the right keepers to camp, and the youngest team will be the best in Russia.

For the 1st time in a long time, I can say the Super Eagles are adequate in all positions.

The coaching crew have done well in bringing in good players to fortify weak spots. We need to do that with the good keepers who have not had the opportunity.

The other good players (especially forwards) are just coming to compete with other good players, which is fine.

We've always been about the youngest except 1994& 1998 set. Where did that take us too? Nevertheless, this present team looks promising

Do you know what average means? Were Ogu, Kayode and Musa regular starters during the qualifiers?

Of these only Mikel , Balogun Echiejile and Ighalo are starters. But for every Mikel at 30, there are 2 Kelechis at 20 and that's why the average age is 24.5 years.

Dude stop doing gra gra and making a fool of yourself. List the average age of the 23 players we used to qualify for the WC. The list says average age of qualified TEAMS. Even the average of the 11 players you listed above is 26. And you haven't even added Iwobi, Iheanacho, Ebuehi, etc. Na over sabi go do una in one of these days!

Come the World Cup proper, our average age will fall further as some of the older players like Echiejile and Akpeyi get dropped.

I CAN'T VOUCH FOR THE ACCURACY OF THIS AVERAGE, BUT...


...the inclusion of the foreign born players makes this closer to the truth.

Meanwhile some of these players are not using their real ages.
