congrats...they look young shaa but Its still funny to agree that we easily dominate this u-17, struggle in the u-21, and suffer In the main national team but they are so many factors involved shaa...
back then I thought dominating In this u-17 competitions really means that the future is bright, maybe it doesn't work in naija..

bros abeeg forget that MRI test because that thing na scam,a cousin of mine participated in that u-17 naija hosted and all of us in the family did dry fasting n prayer for him to be successful and he was highly favored and my dad even gave testimony with dt miracle..
do you know the real age of a stanley okoro of that same set?? or the age of a cetain defender that was their captain dt even had kids?? make I no talk shaa, because am not sure about how they were screened because that same squad would have been banned if the screening really worked
MRI just scan the bones but it isn't even close to being perfect, I even heard players would be placed on special diet to help them easily pass the test..

Always depending on results from other countries, it's a shame ....

MrBONE2:

Very tempting to my tummy

paulolee:

yes, I agree if you say MRI wasnt used them because am not sure and I also agree that the age going by the faces am seeing is more better and younger than previous sets and that's a good way forward even I they may look inexperienced and struggle to win it..
at least its better that we are building a younger team for the future, thats if corruption would allow those at the top do tinz right..

kindredspirit:
The faces and physique of the Ivorians look above 17 to me.

By then, MRI thought otherwise so .

People have different natures. People looking old in your eyes does not actually mean they are not young. Everyone must not look a certain way as prove to being young. Alot of factors contribute to this as well but I wont go into much details.

MRI is not flawless. Nigeria won two U17 tourney even after MRI was introduced. The preparation for the competition is poor, hence selection of the best set of players wasn't done thoroughly

Elderniercri:


No it isn’t that, I heard/read they changed the criteria for the scan this time, they made it the highest grade possible because the previous MRI grade 3 was not adequate... dem still dy use older players
They even made a rule once competition starts and they testing again and 1 of your players proves to be over aged, they would disqualify the team which happened to Togo the host nation

If Na the previous grade for MRI, u for dy see dem Stanley okoro for field... dis way, real 17 years old na they play this ball so and if you b 17 but u get old man bones, wahala for u o
