Good luck lasses.
Is this the real images of the game? If it is, then the Nigerians appear very old
Badge u be fool ok correct fool . People like u dey discourage our girls
What is discourage? Only if you want to lie to yourself that this image is an image of a female that should be 16 or 15 remember it is an U17 tournament. I hope FIFA would start MRIs for underage female competition.. How can we develop with age cheats? If not for MRI you think Ndidi, Iheanacho, Moses Simon, Awoniyi, Dennis would still be relevant from 2013? If it was during the days of cheating that 2013 set would have vanished after 4 years…
Does this woman look like a young girl to you. No, I don’t think it is an image from the friendly match
It is an image from the friendly, if you go to Patricia George’s page on instagram you will see that she played for Fenebahce against the Nigerian u17 2 days ago… For your information that is Patricia George a Nigerian American who plays for fernabahce…
The Asians even though they have small physique still present real teenagers for these tournaments and win. Afrca must also do same
You guys should go to youtube to see highlights of their playoffs,from what I saw in their playoffs,the girls looked really young and from latest news the coach retained majority of the girls that was involved in the playoffs.
Sometimes photos can be deceptive depends on how it was taken and the facial expressions in the thick of action.
All this could paint a different picture from what it really is.
Soon the competition will commence,if they’re old as some people may think we will know especially when they lock heads with their opponents from Europe and other continents.
