[Lolly]

Full time.

Hard fought win.

[onovo]

3pts. Well done boys!

Congrats to the boys ! Sometimes you win dirty !

[delisyomie don]

kick and rush football, I blame NFF.

[Lolly]

This must be the tallest U17s in our history.

There not. The camera angle made them look taller, even the Niger players looked like giants.

[ohenhen1]

There are a few good prospects. The players don't know how to play the game. You can see the poor preparation on display. The NFF have failed them.

I think the MRI is a blessing to African football no matter its challenges. One of the key observation and consensus particularly from the analyst in this WAFU U-17 tourney is that the MRI has made it such that African countries are beginning to feature genuinely young lad in the U-17 competition. In this cup, the players featured by Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Benin, Togo, Niger, and Burkina Faso, all looked liked like school boys. This is a positive one for Africa

Noted. But we also have a lot of young players who were verifiably born after 2008 that were denied a chance because they have higher bone density. What should be done about that?

Alright, Then are you suggesting that African countries do away with the MRI and use birth certificate or international passport as a proof of age ?

Yes they are. Look at our full backs, the DM and the 3 attacking players. All taller than the average footballer.

Do I need to sit down face to face with you to drill home the point that the MRI for age does NOT look at bone density!
Haba, Kongi!
How many times?
I still told you this sometime last week in response to your “bone density” misinfo.
They look at growth plates, not “bone density”

[ohenhen1]

I hear Brentford want to sign Cletus. The first thing they will do is deprogram him from the nonsense Maanu Garba is teaching him. Start from scrach and give him proper eductaion on how to play the game properly.

To be fair it seems Bret was right about Kongi being somewhat of a moron.

Call it whatever you want.

The only soft tissue that can help determine age is the brain, the kids are not getting brain scans. Instead they scan their wrist or knee to determine age by eaxaming the growth plates that have a strong correlation to chronological age. The more pronounced the plates the older the player is determined to be. The likelihood of an incorrect reading is significantly higher in players with high none density. It is not 100% accurate. Much lower infact.

Story.
Just stop calling it “bone density”.
It makes it obvious you don’t know what you’re talking about. Don’t be another Ohenhenhen, talking rubbish with full chest.

kick and rush football, I blame NFF.

The team only resorted to a semblance (not total, mind you) of kick-and-rush football after going down to 10 men, which made sense as they already had the lead and with numerical disadvantage were compelled to defend in numbers, while looking (of hoping) to be able to catch their Nigerien defense on a breakaway. Prior to the red card (at least for the parts of the game that I saw) the team for the most part kept the ball on the turf and played a good short passing game.

What do you think bone “plates” are? And how do you think the growth is calculated? They scan the bone and do one of 2 things. A visual assessment and determination of the results or a SCAN of the density of the bone around the plates for a more,assumed,accurate reading. I can’t believe you’re even trying to defend your position because density is widely used to determine not just human age but rocks, trees and just about everything that requires dating. Diamonds are the hardest substance on earth because of density and purity. Even oil and gas explorers use density to determine to amount of resources available in the ocean or waterways.

Looking like school boys is neither proof of being a schoolboy or U17…
Until we put in place working record-keeping infrastructure, it’s all BS.

[Gotti]

The ref actually made the right decision on the pk and red card. The defender brought down a man that was clear on goal.

The 2 CDs had caught up with the attacker and dispossessed him at which point he flung himself to the ground…

[onovo]

This must be the tallest U17s in our history.

I agree with you on this. These current Eaglet on average have height relative to other set I have seen in recent. Even right from the goalkeeper. My Guess was that considering that we were going to play Sahara desert countries like Niger and Burkina Faso in the group stage, Manu Garba opted for players with height advantage to neutralise these opponent, whom are known to naturally have tall people/players just like Mali and South Sudan.
