yeah, that came out wrong and little to soon, but...

sometimes it's not the players that get to decide whether they play or not, their clubs do that which goes back to $$$, which is what i meant.

oh, gotcha now. And you are correct, sir! I am sure

money and the fact that some teams don't want to lose a player to injury could be a factor. Although most of our best will be playing, just for the WC qualifiers, and not olympics

you are only allowed 3 players over the age of 23 on your roster for the Olympics.

Hence the reference to Nigeria as 2005 under 20 champs,

which pretty much means they should have the top 23-and-under bunch in the mix if they stayed together.
