I've heard and read somewhere something about being able to beat it with Citrus or something? I know it seemed far fetched but the guy I heard it from was very convinced.


there are a lot of theories mainly in books from South America about how to easily cheat the MRI. that is why most of the cases are from there but I do not know the authenticity of the citrus although I have heard it a lot from the lads who are connected with that

a couple yes philip osondu after the 1987 set. another player whose name i can't readily recall from the 2007 set it was Ade Ojiekere the sport journalist who wrote an exclusive on the guy blowing the whole lid on the matter.

MRI has definitely helped to reduce age cheating. is it 100% perfect? no even the proponents of the test have never claimed such but at least now we have a fair idea who the true youngsters are. anecdotal evidence of the likes of iheanacho, awoniyi, ndidi, uzoho, osimhen further strengthens my belief in the test.

like others have said until you post scientific evidence of 20 and above year olds passing the test then all you have is speculation, hearsay and personal opinion



I said the MRI has a relative success rate of about 65-70 which isn't exactly bad. But in Africa that reduces to probably 60% or thereabouts because of our diet. Just one instance, look for someone that grew up in Nigeria and then travelled abroad, you would see the massive changes in body weight. Over here what do we eat? Our diet is limited and that makes our growth very very limited.


By the way I am not sure I need to post extra scientific evidence when we all already agree that MRI is not 100%, that means that even those that invented it are well aware if its fallibility

I have an in depth knowledge of cardiology not radiography. But basics will explain to us that some drugs are administered based on body weight because age is not the same as body development hence two persons of the same age could need different dosages of the same drug. If that is the case then you can intelligently decipher that age is not the same as body development hence MRI which monitors body development as a sign of growth cannot be totally reliable

Personally, I have washed my hands off this MRI argument. Every man have a right to remain ignorant.

What you are saying here does not in anyway explain how a scan will show fusion of plates, whether it is complete or not. It is either the fusion is complete or it is not. The scan shows this. So when you are talking of gaming it, it is not true.

I'm sorry to say this-
FOOTBALL HAS REFUSED TO GO HOME!

I tuned in to watch LUKA MODRIC and he didn't disappoint me.

Modern day football is starving someone like me those kinds of players

Modric for the Golden Ball.
He will take home an individual award no doubt. He just looks up with those his round eyes and in split seconds, he's analyzed the opponents' defence and swish.... he talks a cross or a long aerial pass that turns things around.


But, he has Griezmann to contend with.


This world cup has been less of individual brilliance and more of team fluency and cohesion.

Pogba and Mbappe

Modric and Subasic and Rakitic

Harry Kane And Alli

De Bruyne


These should scoop em all up.

Do not underestimate our shortcomings. We screwed up big time and should've beaten Argentina. We flopped completely against Croatia. Hopefully we learned from these games for AFCON.

For Africa to make an impact, they need to develop mental strength needed for the modern game, players that gases up after 70minutes in a match will never achieve anything in the World Cup

it's not that Africans gas after 70 minutes, it's just that around that time other well grounded coaches start making tactical changes while our own coaches will just stay there and be watching and we get dusted.

I swear.

It would have been a great injustice if they won the World Cup after such am easy route. Imagine Senegal had made it out of their group, they would probabky have gone as far as England did.

They had no actual threats on their part to the semis.

Only if they had finished first in their group. If they qualified as second, they play Belgium. If they eventually go through, they'll play Brazil and then France. Belgium, to me, had the most difficult route followed by France, Croatia and England.

As in eh. imagine you had to beat Tunisia with a late goal, then as expected thrash Panama(with how many Pks again?) then lose to Belgium. Then as if the fact that you are going to face Colombia isn't sweet enough, they still lost their best player and creative force to injury. that's just a mad combination of luck and some more luck

Lol.



I think the loff for partying and women makes the waist of most African footballers to need healing time which kills their effectiveness. as the street saying goes, "who no like better thing?"


Funny enough they are asking themselves the questions they should ask themselves for failing to win top glory cos of a few wayward lifestyles.


The last footballer to succeed with such a lifestyle was Ronaldinho. But it's caught up with him.


And then, the age too.



Can we get there?


Surely.
