no.ndidi wears 4. omeruo wears 22. this are recent pictures. moreover why will they chose to post these pictures now and not before or shortly after the england game

somehow:


Not really, we cleared lesser balls out of that region and played more on the ground when we had omeruo, ekong and ogu at the back + ebuehi/idowu

Unlike the first half when we had balogun, ekong, shehu and idowu.

BOOMnaija:
Omo, see dis Senegal boys sef wan copy us o(dem no reach abeg ) .
Just arrived today...

TheGoodJoe:


Kanu and Okocha had flair but when it comes to decisiveness, Beckham was way ahead. One of the best the game ever saw.

TheGoodJoe:


We need to finalize tactics and study opponents. They have been taking pictures since.

TheGoodJoe:


Let us forget media hype and you judge honestly from what you see. Today, which Nigerian dribbler will you rate above Hazard or De Bruyne.

EEGA:
Ndidi wore 13 against Czech Republic.

By the time we beat them dem no go fit clap again.

TheSuperNerd:

First of all, I don't need to do more research into an area I am practically a god in. Everything you have said, I know about but the thing is that you are emphasizing irrelevant and extraneous details.
Listen up, the "koko" is the Anatomical make up of the player's growth plates on his left wrist (and even his right if we go that long). That is the central focus linked to the specific age range the MRI age test is designed to detect and strongly indicate.



Second of all... The MRI cannot be applied to U-21 level because the growth plates fuses before one is even 19-21 years in almost all cases if not all. Normally in almost every case with a few exceptions (a rarity in fact), the growth plates close at 18. So MRI at U-20/21 level won't work. Based on what it is designed to detect, that is.


Thirdly and finally, there is a margin of + or - 2 for certain rare individuals who may be slightly above 17 (I.e. 18 or 18+) and still pass the test because their growth plates are yet to fuse AND also, for those who may be 16 or 17 and still fail the test due to early epiphyseal plates closure. This is Human Anatomy and there is bound to be slight variational detections but the margin of finding such rarity is extremely minimal. This is why the MRI is 99% accurate with a margin of + or - 2 to determine and detect ages for those below 17 or above 17. It is as simply scientifically explained as that. Nothing complex except I go into the deeper classification grade details of which I won't before I turn this thread into a biosciences and medical engineering class.

You say you wanna bury it... So fine bury it... But in burying it, you still had to type all your story again. I just dey look you.

safarigirl:
Imagine going to the stadium to see the Nigeria vs Iceland game.

Drums and trumpets will be coming at you from one angle and thunderous claps from the other angle. Such a game will ensure your eardrums collapse for at least a day.

chrisooblog:
I think his argument is that due to lack of nutrition in this part of the world an overage player could beat the MRI test I.e a 20 year old who is not drinking regular fresh milk or eating hamburger unlike his counterparts in Europe, north America etc will pass for a 16 year old .

Martz101:


the whole team chemistry changed in the second half

EEGA:
Which formation will accommodate Nacho without the dropping of either Ighalo,V.Moses or both?

joseph1013:

We need to find a way to play Kelechi in our team. We're assured of scoring goals, that much is certain.

It is the work of the coach to maximize a team's potential. Let's hope Rohr pull it off.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE EVE OF THE WC
since 2002 no country apart from european countries has won the WC(and more european countries have won the WC than any other country from other continents since the inception of the FIFA WC in 1930. while it can be argued that this is because europeans have proportionately more teams than other continents -could there be other causes?) could this be as a result of the fact that global football is tailored to suit the style, the nature and character of Europeans?
take this issue of pressing that has almost become the alfa tactics employed by most teams for example. it is about choking and pressuring the opposition when they(the opposition) have the ball. now i think this is what happened: europeans eliminated the dribble(yes dribbling is almost dead) because i do not see how pressing can be effective when you have a team of good ball dribblers. can you press maradona, or okocha or any team with a good number of dribblers like Brazil 82 team? they will just dribble themselves out of the choke and pass the ball to a team mate who is free from the press. just a moment of sheer individual brilliance, a sweet turn, a flick and dance with the ball and the whole press will collapse.but you see what europeans have done: they eliminated the dribble, clamped down on individual displays and erected a temple to the god of passing, passing, passing and laid more emphasis on team game.
europeans thrive on organization and efficiency: they hate anything disorganized which is how they regard anything free flowing(meanwhile africans want expressiveness and flair). check out classical european music, opera and the ballet dance. everything is timed and organized. the world of music was cold until africans and south americans(and it was still africans if you know your history)with the their toms toms, sense of natural rhythm and free flowing dance brought in the blues, jazz and pop culture was born. for the life of me i have tried to enjoy mozart, bach, handel and others but omo i still prefer the sound of the gong, ekwe, beaded gourd and talking drum. to the european ear african music is disorganized but as africans we know theres a method to that seeming "disorganization". our music is all about rhythm and improvisation.

my point is we must break away from this european model of playing football: we cannot beat them when it comes to an organized approached to football. no wonder xavi said that they understand football as a space-time concept. this is nothing but the scientific european mind speaking. the black man has no such concept. (thats why he cannot operate by the 24 hour clock). africans understand football as a dance, as rhythm, as beat, as robustness and vigour.
this is how we must play our football. we must play football according to our soul. we are africans and its not a matter of race- its a matter of an outlook on life which we can perfect and use to define our game.

my brothers i would appreciate your thoughts on this issue

3 5 2
Kelechi and Iwobi to lead the line.
Moses Mikel Ndidi Ogu/Etebo Tyrone
Omeruo Ekong Balogun

We're not scoring goals.

Kelechi scores goals. We need him to play.

It's a wonder that since we played the 3-5-2 against Argentina, we've not tried to use the same personnel against other teams. We have not been scoring goals.

Those front two are especially important. They know how to score goals for the Super Eagles.

Rohr has to maximize our strength.

Nice, but will Rohr really play V.Moses as a Wing-back coupled with the fact that we need Iwobi's creativity in the middle.

tbaba1234:


No, i know he was writing WAEC. Infact, his WAEC result made news when it came out because he did very well.

He is the exact age that he claims. His early marriage is just what it is.

realpoacher:


The question is which will win between the African "disorganized" dance/music vs the European Handel "organized" music?

If Africa will win everytime against the European then the world will dump the European for the African.


But time and time again, it has been proven that the European dance have always beaten the African dance to stupor,.. Lolz,.. That's why everyone in the world is tilted towards the European dance.

Success has many friends..... Remember?

Mujtahida:

i used the word disorganized to describe how they see us. i do not agree that we are disorganized. like you have said we have our own frequency. you say that only success at the WC can distinguish african football. my contention is that we cannot win the WC unless we distinguish our style of play from that of Europe. right now we play european football so long as we eliminate from our game those aspects of football which europeans have eliminated from their game
