Marosky; C. Ronaldo is originally from Brazil!!! are you kidding me? Obviously you know nothing about football, C.Ronaldo is from Portugal (born and raised) so are his parents, don't let the name Ronaldo fool you, his father named him after Ronald Reagan. In fact he was born in Madiera in Portugal so i don't know where you get your data from.

Concerning Messi, when messi came to Barca when he was 12 he was deemed too small that they had to inject him with a steady supply of human growth hormones (HGH) because he had a hormonal deficiency that's why he grew up (and he still isn't big enough). Now for you to say that Messi is overage simply because he is so good at such a young stage or that he is south american and therefore he automatically falsified his age is simply ignorant. If he falsified his age those treatments might have an adverse effect on him. By the way, if you're wondering because south america is not europe does not mean that they are as backward as we are (some are though) but a lot of the South American countries are more developed than we are, if you like go research them on the web, they have a better GDP and PCI than we have especially Brazil and Argentina.

By the way if you didn't know,  they have a way of testing peoples ages through bone marrow testing but unfortunately its only accurate to within 18 months that's why FIFA is not using it. You remember that they wanted to test Taye Taiwo when he was transfering to a club after the WYC but the club stipulated that he do a bone marrow test but he declined because he knew his age was false.

I am not saying that Africans do not cheat.but it is not as bad as some of us think it is.One more thing is that we are not the only ones into that shit.

Also, because other countries cheat doesn't mean that we should, its not about them its about us. You should never do something simply because other people are doing it, you do it because its the right thing to do. One should never do something foreign to his nature or character or you lose your soul or your essence as a human being.
