They waited until a dismissal from the competition before talking of age scandal.

Africa Top Sports reported earlier on that Nigerian Golden Eaglets dismissed the Uruguay in the last match of the quarter-finals of the World Cup U-17 2013 currentling in full swing in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates.

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”.
