” Nigerian Under 17 players Were 35 and 40 Years Old” Says Uruguay Captain

After Nigeria U-17 team defeated the Uruguay U-17 team in the quarter finals of the FIFA U-17 world cup in UAE by 2: 0, the Uruguay’s captain Fabrizio Buschiazzo reserved the blame on their defeat on the age of the Flying Eaglets.

 ”I am very angry to think that Nigeria are not 17.We are a under-17 team and are better than any other under-17s but but not against 35 and 40-year-olds which is how the Nigerians appeared to be to me.”

However, he added: “This is not an excuse . . . but it is clear that they don’t have the age to play”.
