bigtt76: The only Under 17 player on that pitch yesterday was the Iranian Goalkeeper, aside this guy the rest (both sides) were overage During my secondary school days, my senior (classmate of my elder brother) looked too young for his age and ended up being called to the Under 17 camp many years after he graduated from secondary school. Married now but still looking 20ish. Ona forget that thing Naija Under 17 still primary school.

ighoosagie: make coach Ali Doustimehr apologize for his comment.



If its sen ted Cruz , u guys would say it's insult to our integrity , just within 10days Nigeria has been labeled for cheating and fraud frm different continent.

This types of comments would be heard continuously inside n outside the country, until we learn to do things right without cheat and fraud.


We all know dat a real 17yrs old in nija can't kick real leather football , more less of shooting the ball from outside d 18yard to get a spectacular goal.

No. It does not. If you go by this, African countries may never win the World Cup. If at 25 years you are still playing in U-17 then by the time you get to the senior team you would be 34 years or so!

einstein_e:

If they are really the youngest, we'll know in six years time. How many of them would have reached higher heights in six years? How come we ae record winners at u-17 level and we can't make a blip at world cup level? The simple answer is that at the u-17 level, we do serious age cheating and get advantage that way.

I know 17 year old Nigerians. I know how they look. Those 'eaglets' can't tell me that I am six years older than them.

Some government people wanted to clear the air and they neatly explained why Nigeria should buy a BMW car for 800,000 dollars while in Europe you may not pay more than 80,000 dollars for the same car!

johnwizey: So wat will he say if dey had met wit Tunisia

francisbiz:
You are right on point brother!
Our image has been seriously battered for long, we really need to to start cleaning up, and sports are easy ways to start.
If we stop age cheating we shall be the major beneficiary, so lets forget about speaking in favour or against, because we dont have enough evidence at hand irrespective of the present MRI scan and our past cheating record.
LETS DO OUR OWN TESTS

1. In your homes, streets or environs get few boys that you really know when they were born -between 15 and 18 years old, that play football. Take them out to the field and ask them to kick real standard football from outside the 18yard box, tell them to kick very hard, repeatedly, one after the other: then make your observations and report back.

2. Lets do little math with 6334 education system. Generally, at 6years old you get into primary school, some elite and intelligent kids could make it at between 4 and 5years - and they are very few. So at 10\11\12years you get into the secondary school. Then, at 16\17\18years you are out of secondary school. By that, our Eaglets should be in secondary schools, or must have graduated from secondary schools not more than two years ago.
And if they are in secondary schools, is it in their profiles? What is the name of their schools, are their Principals aware?

3. Or are they already in football clubs?

4. INEC help us, have they ever voted?

5. Do they have AGE DECLARATION\ AFFIDAVIT or Birth certificates. What age is in their baptismal cards at infant baptism for Christians only.

CFCfan: This is a clear case of bad belle from the Iranian coach. Like many posters have said, this is the most genuine U-17 team that Nigeria has paraded in an international tournament. None of the players are older than 20.

vincentont:


u are absolutely wrong.at age 15 dis days most of the students are already in ss3.the fact that u finished ur ss3 at the age of 18 might nt be applicable to others.Infact i knew some1 who just graduated recently at age 20, nd if u see him he looks lyk 25yrs old.children of now adays matured rapidly abi u knw knw say a boy of 15ys don dey father a child,even dey sleep wit their teacher of 20 somtin years.i also knew of a girl 12yrs in ss2,if u see her on the road u will ask her out coz she looks much older than her age.
