There are things extremely important for success most people don't know,and thank God the officials of this set of Eaglets knows the secret either by chance or by design.
Check the hair styles of each of the members of this present Golden eaglets and compare it to other remaining teams of this championship hair styles then u'll will understand what I'm talking about, *****DISCIPLINE***** HUMILITY***** FAITH***** and u will be rest assured that this trophy belongs to the Golden eaglets as long as they remain focused which I believe they will.
It's almost impossible for them to lose this trophy,they have all it takes to win this championship at this level. What they have is invisible,
At this level of the players career where their careers just kicked-off,it's imperative that their humility,discipline,loyalty etc level is at the optimum.
When I saw the hair styles of the last set of U-20 Manu's boys,I knew in my heart that they have lost some of the ingredients of success. Talents alone seldomly takes u to the top.
Isaac and kelechi might,just might be excused but this their hair styles is just uncalled for 4 now. Someone should talk to them.
An U-20 national team footballers are not supposed to carry just any kind of hair styles that pleases him. I don't have problems with the hair styles of already established footballers. Just the U-17/U-20.
Unless something beyond the control of the Eaglets happens,they are already as good as the Champions.

why re u talkin as if u no dey dis country,let's not support what is not,we all know dis guys are not 16yr old as claimed.

People like you often fails exams. You went ahead quoting me non sense with zero understand of my post.

safarigirl:
are you a fraud? I can assume you a fraud because you're Nigerian....but that would be unfair.

I refuse to believe no genuinely good thing can come out of Nigerian. For one thing, I'm Nigerian and I'm good.

Go and watch yesterday's game again and take a closer look at Okonkwo, Osimhen and Chukwueze especially. If those boys look older than 17 to you, then it's just your mentality stopping you from seeing truth.

Nobody is saying there aren't age cheats, but it has reduced with MRI. Haven't the Brazilians also been caught in age cheating before? You guys make it seem like Nigeria is the only country who has ever engaged in such. Every team we meet is full of small boys, while ours are always overage.

If you have concrete evidence why not bring it forward and help us solve the problem. Instead it is always this unfounded aspersions.

MeandSum:


Why do you automatically assume others are lying? Can you wrap it around you head that not everyone is like you and that some people actually tell the truth?
Take a look at all the teams, you'll notice those from Africa actually look underdeveloped.

How many countries in the world have won the senior world cup? Spain won it for the first time in 2010. Netherlands, the kings of total football still dey search.

Maybe one day it will happen. Just like the Olympic gold, which mighty Brazil is yet to win.

safarigirl:
whatever you think you're involved in is not my business. No be who play football pass sabi football pass.


Those boys are the most disorganized football team in that tournament and to claim there is any form of maturity in their play is just you seeing rubbish.


Even members of FIFA technical committee have agreed their play is uncommon and uncoordinated.., if real professionals can say that, then your opinion is only relevant to you.


Thank God you said nothing of Okonkwo and Chukwueze cuz I looked at that boy repeatedly after he scored and there is no doubt in my mind he's at most 17.

my boys (golden eaglet) are going to marry their wives (mexico) again tomorrow. marriage venue situated in chile. that chukweze is an exciting player, immediately the coach brought him on in the first match against USA, he made some exciting runs and dribbles. he has seized the opportunity he had and made that position his own. good player, the boy movement and dribbles are similar to arjen rubben's.

bigwallace:
so osimen is 16 rite,zakari is 16 too chukweze is also 16.isssokay

Well you are right .My only concern is the back. If the back door is open what else? Nothing. I watched the Malian side they are very good both forward as well as the back. They are strong and athletic. Whoever is facing them should be very up to their game in all department. I just hope the coach really work on that defense cos the Mexican really exposes it .If the coach can work on the defense brush up the midfield and the forward. I don't think we should have any problem on Sunday.

I dont want to poo poo on there success but i didnt like the way they played - they were better because they were stronger. They played like individuals who were trying to steal the limelight from each other. They would have obliterated Mexico if they played a more comprehensive possession game. They have strength and determination but lacked technical awareness in that game. A lot of passes were errant and players held on to the ball to long as they bombed forward looking to score 40 yarders.

There goals were fantastic and if they win or dont win they are still as success but what concerns me is Nigerias inability to take these guys to the next level. The South Americans and Europeans have the infrastructure and foresight to do this hence why we struggle at under 21 and Senior.

I presume that one of the reasons for the impermanence and indubitable failure to implicitly transits the sublime performance to the senior world cup is because of lack of steadfastness by homogeneous set of players.

we were hoping and maintaing a resolute fidelity on the previous U-17 lads to evovle to the U-20 world cup and win it, since they did absolutely well in the U-17. but they ended up being one of the commiserated teams in the tornament.

this is because they are now virtually deviod of thesame level of dedication and passsion of which they formally possessed during the U-17 world cup. they played the U-17 world cup with great commitment because they know that it was an unprecedented vantage of displaying their phenomenal talents to the world, and most especially to secure the attention and the induction into some prestigious clubs, to play and earn in the top league and clubs!
At this stage, they are ready to do anything just to record an impressive performance.

But onces they have succesfully achieved this objective, they begin to exprience a frivolous and a declining enthusiasm for the national team. they no longer put in their best, because of they have gotten want they wanted.

And aslo because of the saying that 'Nigeria is not worth dieing for'
If any detrimental situation betide them during national football matches, they will be forgotten without any indemnification for them and their families.
Nigerias praise and consider you when you are active and yeilding great results, but they desert you in the time of adversity.
And I predicate that such pedestrian mindset by Nigerians is one of the major deterrents to them.
