Nigeria over the years has been embroiled in cases of over-age cheating at age torurnaments and world cup.

But as I watched the current players at the UAE 2013 take on their mexican side, I couldn't but hold my surprise at d young faces that sang the national anthem.

It seems for the 1st time we have players that are truly under 17 representing us. Maybe a couple are older but this is truly amazing. Not forgetting they trounced mexico 6-1.

We are used to clean shaven uncles parading themselves as toddlers at tournaments like this. The keeper looks quite young.

Can anyone who has schooled or been in the same group as these players actually confirm their age.

I hear the 85 team was also very young. In recent times, this is the youngest team, we have presented.

Huge prospects..
