After Iran accused the Nigerians of not being
teenagers, the current tirade from the Uruguayans
is the second stinging attack that the Eaglets were
going to get here.
Uruguay players, at the final whistle of their defeat
by Nigeria, collapsed to the ground in anguish as if
bereaved.
Uruguay’s players react after losing their FIFA U-17
World Cup UAE 2013 football match against Nigeria
in Sharjah on November 2, 2013. Nigeria won 2-0.

Captain Fabrizio Buschiazzo, who admitted that they
were not decisive in attack, questioned the true
ages of the Nigerians, who showed grit and class in
their 2-0 victory in Sharjah,
“We didn’t punch when we needed to. We could not
convert and they scored their first goal early. Out of
anxiety we ended up going for the result and they
hurt us a lot by using that space.
“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 not against 35 and 40-year-olds,
which is how the Nigerians appeared to be to me”,
said Buschiazzo, who added that “this is not an
excuse .but it is clear that they don’t have the age
to play”.
Also speaking at the mixed zone, Marcio Benitez
stressed that Uruguay was confident to get the
result but failed despite “doing everything”. “I don’t
know what was missing. I’m very proud but sad not
to moved forward. We are going to have revenge,”
he said.
Franco Pizzichillo, one of the outstanding players in
the tournament for La Celeste, said that “in the first
few minutes we had clear chances we could not
convert, it changed everything.” He and his team-
mates were “very angry” because “the objective
was to win the title.
“Now there is no choice but to keep going, keep
improving and learning.”
Leandro Otormín could not hide his sorrow at failing
to capitalise on two clear chances in the first
minutes of the game when the score was still level,
but Kevin Méndez found minor consolation in the
effort Uruguay had committed to the game.
He said: “We gave everything; none of the players
held anything back and gave everything for the best
of the squad. That’s a little satisfaction with which to
leave this championship.”Striker Franco Acosta
added: “Uruguay will go home with our heads held
high, knowing we sweated everything we had.”

when I look at those boys, I laugh seriously at Buschiazzo comment.

When they beat us at under 20 level ....we acted civil, we accepted the defeat. They shld also accept this defeat and stop being bad loosers.

I have been expecting this comment .... I am not disappointed at all. , hope to hear another one after Sweden match .

I want this comment to keep coming till the eaglet carries the cup .

an uruguayan
accusing nigerians?

He is mad!
Does Buschiazzo(17years), the team captain look any much younger than Diego Forlan(34years) that doubles his age?

If any U17 team's kettle should call our own golden eaglets' pot black, definitely, it shouldn't be the uruguayans!

Sore loosers! Se na those kids when neva get beards na dem b 30 nd 40 abi. Foolishness @ its peak.

This issue should just be addressed by fifa once n for all because its an insult to the team and Nigeria as a whole

true talk bro

Aside MRI scan, even Sepp Blatter would agree with us that the present crop of Eaglet players are probably the youngest Nigeria has ever presented. Shame of Uruguay for crying foul play . I see it as revenge for Nigeria after their senior team defeated Super Eagles at the last Confederation Cup. Nice win for Nigeria. Sweden is next!!!

If he sees a 40 years old nigerian,I'm sure he will prostrate.Making up flimsy excuses for the defeat.
