Congratulations but it doesn't change anything. EA Sports also recorded his pace stat at RB Salzburg. His RB Salzburg base card for pace was 81. Now at Dortmund it is 82.

Osimhen's base card at Lille for pace is 85. That says it all. Osimhen is clearly faster.

"... Even when I was talking to an Italian club at the time, he called me in the hotel afterwards and he said; ‘Costa, stay with us, we are going to win the league and the Champions League. Then, you can go to England or Italy.’

"He always talked to you like that. And you believed him and it made you more confident. So, we went into matches with more belief than we would have normally had." - Costinha on Mourinho concerning Porto's 2004 UCL triumph.

Video games indeed. The rankings of the world's strongest and most physical footballers is based off EA Sports Painstaking stats research for physicality and more with many reputable sites having quoted them at many points in time. They are a strong reference points for players attributes in the world of football yet it is now just a video game just to push a "Haaland is faster" narrative. Lol.. please go sit back down. Got no time for blind sentimental arguments tonight. The kind that says Lingard is better than Iwobi. Or Ramon Azeez is a natural AM. Lol

Hahahahahaha... Is it my fault that Osimhen's top speed isn't known thanks to the media's one sided overhype over a white kid. I bet if Osimhen was white, we wouldn't be having this talk. Same Sky sports would have put out their idea of Osimhen's speed rating overtime but didn't bother. But thanks Goodness for EA Sports.

And sorry man... Nothing sound flies with you. EA Sports stats flies with people and bodies that matter in football so your quabblings don't matter at all. All you can do is talk. Lol. Doesn't change the simple fact that Osimhen is faster....85>>>>>82. Sorry kid.

England did not qualify for the U-17 World Cup in 2013, so, it is not likely we will find players from that crop doing much today. You can barely even find the team list online.


However, they were present at the tournament two years later, Trent-Alexander Arnold, Chris Willock and Tom Davies, seen to be the only players from the England 2015 U-17 team that have actual football careers, the others are playing for mediocre teams; I checked, to be sure.

Of those three, we all know, only TAA is EXCEPTIONAL. The likes of Tomori and these new age English players we have been bamboozled with so far, [b]were never considered good enough for these U-17 team'[/b]s.

First of all you lack understanding.

If you had some level of knowledge by participative association of football in England then you would understand, but you do not. And you therefore operate on assumption birthed from limited perception which is mostly emotive.

I will address Icon4s as well on this subject , I did ask what is his unit of measurement for success, because the term is ambiguous even the how we use the word progression.

There are two very large disparities within football in making comparison to Nigeria and England. Undoubtedly the aspiration for the overwhelming majority of players in Nigeria is too play in the much more financially lucrative football leagues of Europe.

In Nigeria the route to gain access to the top European football league is almost exclusively through the vehicle of youth national football , U17 and U20 , great emphasis is placed on this route. Furthermore, there is natural consistent progression from the U17, & U20 national youth teams to the senior national team SE underpinned with football progression in Europe's top football leagues. Going to Europe as an over 23 year old Nigerian is not impossible but very difficult.

In England progression to the top teams in the EPL and or the still very financially lucrative Championship is absolutely not underpinned with success at U17 national team selection, its completely , irrelevant. Indeed England is quite unique in that for a very long time there was no consistent progression from national youth teams U17, U21, etc to the senior national team. It was perceived as an unnecessary intrusion by many top clubs.

As a consequence football particularly EPL clubs considered U17 football a distraction particularly for player who were already excelling and even playing first team football. Indeed the players were not particularly interested and that interest becomes outright refusal if they are already playing first team football and or very close to it. Playing U17 will be considered a demotion, in Nigeria you have the complete opposite. There are well documented grumblings by the English FA against clubs refusing to release players. The clubs cannot be blamed when you have 16/17 year old playing first team football on £20k a week, with the season in full swing they will not want too lose their momentum and place in the team by playing a U17 youth football tournament, it simply adds no value to their career.

However, for young players who are in league 1 and or in EPL clubs but far away from the first team then playing for England may just give their careers a much needed boost.

TheGoodjoe and Icon4s asked for a comparison of the 2013 England U17.

Before I proceed, you will find quite a few players of 15 in the U17 indeed you will find also quite a few players who are 16/17 playing in the U20 teams for England. Again for some players will consider U17 football beneath them rightly or wrongly that is their choice. As a consequence these youth team squads are quite large because of the number of players withdrawing mainly at U17 level.

Bringing things up to speed "kick racism" out has affected selection and the previous racial discriminatory bias in favour of blue eyed players of past years has declined considerably. Fast forward , England won the U20 and U17 world cups with a predominantly black team for the first time. What it did was give players added value and more bargaining power as well as prestige, add to that Mbappe and the incredible values put on young players, English clubs now see it as added marketable value which was not the case before.

Now lets look at the England U17 squad in 2013 and 2015 that seems to be your focus (not sure why) , I will name 10 players from each of those squads.

2013 England U17

Angus Gunn - GK - Southhampton
Freddie Woodman - Newcastle United on loan at Swansea 1st choice GK
Joe Gomez - Liverpool FC
Ola Aina - Torino
Rueben Loftus-Cheek - Chelsea
Lewis Cooke - Bournemouth
Harry Winks - Tottenham
Dele Alli - Tottenham
Izzy Brown - Chelsea on loan Luton Town
Kasey Palmer - Chelsea on loan Bristol City
Alex Iwobi - Everton


2015 England U17

Alfie Whiteman - GK (reserve) - Tottenham
Alfie Whiteman -GK (reserve) - Manchester United
Reece Oxford - Augsburg
Hayden Coulson - Middlesborough
Jay Dasilva - Bristol City
Trent Alexander - Liverpool
Kyle Edwards - WBA
Yan Dhanda - Swansea
Todd Cantwell - Norwich
Andre Green - Aston Villa on loan Charlton Athletic
Nathan Holland - West Ham on loan Oxford
Jonathan Lekoy - WBA on loan at Charlton
Chris Willock - Huddersfield
Marcus Edward - Vitoria de Guimaraes
Lukas Nmecha - Manchester City on loan Middlesborough (changed allegiance now plays for Germany U21)


Finally , you should look at the exceptional transfer bids being made for the unexceptional Tod Cantwell according to you.
