I think is high time for FIFA to do something abt this Over-Aged issue. I remember how proud i was when Gambia qualified for the U17 world cup in Peru but it was shortlived. After checking out the team, i decided that i wouldnt celebrate even if Gambia won the whole tour. That was suppose to be an u17 tournament but no one at that team was under the age of 24, i kno two them very well bcus i used to play football with them as a lil kid. Is a bit OK if they knock down 2yrs but some of the players knock down up to 10yrs, that is jst sick. Seem like the purpose of the age thing is to make african players appear as HUGE TALENTS to european teams. Alot of players r bought bcus of this n therefor it led to the betterment of thier relatives lives. That is a good thing but how comes ppl r so proud calling them young when they kno the TRUTH.
