Seriously bro, I dunno what category to place people who judge footballers just by their looks alone..

I mean,how do they do it? grin . Its very common for people,especially Africans to look older than their ages!

IMO,the best way to know an age cheat is to follow his career progress...One way or the other,nature will catch up with him!

In 2005, some people accused Mikel being 30 or so.. Today,Mikel is still balling hard grin

The bolded is not completely the case. Some players who use their real age still do not progress well. Several factors can affect a player's career progress.

We all know age cheating is common in our football circles but using pictures alone to condemn a player to be an age cheat is a No no for me.

Just look at a 21 years old Taiwo Awoniyi. This is a boy we knew when he wrote and passed WAEC and went throug the MRI. If we never had such info about him people would have accused him of age cheating. Infact some still do especially after his wedding story.

Look also at 22 years old Success

Oh boy, I've changed my mind now grin
..He should go to the WC rather than the AFCON.. Especially now that his club are benching him in order to make him sign a contract extension...

This was not completely my point. I am saying that his age makes it a no brainer to be at the WYC not his skillset. If he was a month over the set age we would be solely talking about his chances of making the AFCON.

I know bro..
Was just making reference to the argument we had the other time about whether he should go to the WC or AFCON...

If Moses should return to the team,the WC might just be the best option for his...

Mikel is young, only lazy players dont last longer bro, if you are not injury prone then you should be lasting longer age cheat or not.

There is no big deal in mikel still playing at 31, obi mikel reduced his age at least by 4 year not 10 years okay

For naija once player dey play at 31 dem go say e no reduce age,na normal thing, oba goal played till 34 recently, osaze played in england till 35

Na people like osaze you go come talk here and i go listen not others
