Sad times folks, @Davidif, talkin abt maturity, who says those under 17 are truly under 17. They cld hv done better in my opinion. Playin for the national team is more to do with the heart than the maturity of the bones, Super eagles were crap and the players let us all down. Period. |

@eclairs Concerning maturity, they might not be truly U17 but the truth of the matter is that they they still play U17 ball and are simply not good enough for the senior level yet, mentally, and football wise. They lack the IQ and football knowledge to perform at this level. Remember the Spanish boys they beat with penalties in the world cup, only Bojan Krkic is playing right now for Barcelona and has not yet being called to the senior squad, if it was naija, everybody would be shouting that they should throw him into the mix immediately. Anyone remember what happened to those little kids that we threw into the fire? Opabunmi, Ogbeche and co. last time i checked they fell off the radar. Thank God people like y'all are not soccer officials, just because you saw messi, michael owen, Rooney, and Anelka blow up at such a young stage doesn't mean that everybody can do it, on average it takes this kids 5-7 years to be ready for showtime because lets face it most of this kids are late bloomers (at least 80%), it will take them quite a while to mature, especially the midfielders, defenders and even some strikers, remember Jaap Stam and van Nistleroy didn't blow up until there early 20's. Don't forget that for every Francesc Fabregas, there is a Nii Lamptey, and for every Ronaldo there is always a Berkant Goktan. ![]() |

The U-17 boys could have done better by at least scoring a goal because it's now they wish to show the world what they are made of. The Stupid Eagles are alredy known so are proud to do some stuffs, imagine as at 26th of January 46 goals have been scored in the tournament; Nigeria did not contribute even half |

Re: Under-17 Boys Should Have Been Used For The Nations Cup by folahann(m): 7:44pm On Jan 27, 2008 |

Your so called U17 boys or "agbayas" and cheats (read: overaged) could not even score against a legit U17 team like Spain and were only able to beat them by luck (penalty shootout) even though the spanish were missing Bojan Krkic who was suspended for the final. |
