TheGoodJoe:


You did not substantiate anything. We broke down everything and the accuracy was proven and clear as daylight. You are doing as if the discussion was not all centred around academic articles.

komekn:


Do you understand the implications of a peer reviewed publication.

It's not hearsay , it's not opinionated or preferential schmaltzy but empirical research.

I have nothing more to say.

TheGoodJoe:


“Maybe people are not concerned about unfairly excluding kids from competition,” Rauch says, “but that’s the inevitable problem.” FIFA had not responded to a request for comment by publication time.

One study on 86 young male Ghanaian players concluded, “There was no significant correlation between the chronological age and the degree of fusion.” Another analysis that similarly employed wrist scans among young players found that three supposed 14-year-old male soccer players had stage 5 or stage 6 fusion.

This is the point we are hammering on. That the MRI scan is very strict and most times, players who are younger than seventeen fail the test. Nigeria has been on the heavy end of this whip with a large percent of our teen players failing the test.

The article never pointed on a large or close to a little fraction of overage players passing the test.
This makes the MRI scan reliable in trusting a player is not overage. Unfortunately, players younger than the 17 fail the test like Maduabuchi Obinwa.

So when we say we trust the ages of our young players who passed the MRI wrist scan test, this article in no way disproves it.

Please, the people at FIFA who decided to opt for the MRI scan due to its high accuracy, read far more peered review articles on this matter than you can even imagine. One of your biggest challenges is that you run with the little you know on a topic and think you know it all.

Can you even phantom the number of medical professionals that work with FIFA? The number of medical consultants etc.

Just chill please, you can not disprove the accuracy of the MRI scan.

The MRI scan is 100% accurate but the data that underpins the deduction of bone fusion is NOT.

And if you do not know.

Educate yourself subscribe to an academic journal Portal. Otherwise you will think you know but you do not.

Don't presume knowledge ascertain it.

How many peopl do you know at FIFA not from Nigeria, l know a few and wouldn't call it them subject specific specialists.

Talk for yourself and not others

Osihmen and lookman battling for serie A title this season

The best 2 teams in Italy currently

Xavi is the major problem in this Barca team. I don’t see how aging busquet with green horns like pedri and gavi should be starting games for Barca against big oppositions

The same mistake he made against inter few nights ago

andrewbaba44:


Gavi/Kessie FDJ and pedri should be starting all Barca games

Say hello to my golden boy winner

There's a meltdown online. Many claiming Jude Bellingham was robbed off the Golden boy award because of his skin colour.
Honestly, what were they really thinking giving the award to this boy?

Jude suppose win am or even musiala

andrewbaba44:


Egbon na for last season performance nah ,and not this season .

andrewbaba44:


Hmmmm

Bellingham was robbed but he wasn’t top 3 ?

Hope you know this award isn’t for this season performance ?

Bellingham is a better player then gavi ,but sorry to say Gavi deserves this award 100 percent for his last season performance.

Camavinga comes close and not Bellingham

Mind you this award was voted for by previous ballon d or winners and Madrid have more ballon d or winners .

Barryseal:


2 criterias to win the Ballon dor,
A) Play for Real Madrid or Barcelona
B) White skinned
Funny how Camavinga came 2nd. A bench player for olboth club and country. Compared with Musiala and Bellingham both starters and absolute banger players.
Even Bukayo Saka edges both Gavi and Camavinga if we are being objective.

andrewbaba44:


How did bukayo saka edges gavi last season ?

Before you carry goals and assist come gavi na central midfielder but he still managed 6 assist in the league last season at age 17 .
