[Karl Baxter]

After systematic abuse of the age rule by African teams at under-17 and under-20 competitions, FIFA has apparently decided to act.

Now all they need to do is scan past winning teams, disqualify the cheaters, and redistribute the prizes.Edited by: Karl Baxter

Nigeria dropped 15 players!! How many players in the past were illegal.Why do they even have these tournaments in Africa? Who wants to got there and of course these Africans shouldn't be playing in the European leagues.

Another point that has to be addressed is the different maturity rates of different races. Everybody knows Blacks mature more quickly than Whites and Whites than Orientals. This is an especially big factor in promoting the myth of superior Black talent in Britain and America where a Black kid is usually more physically mature than a White kid of a similar age and therefore is targetted with more training and encouragement than the White kid.

Yes,You see many black kids that are much bigger than white kids that are teenagers.That hurts many 17 year old football players in America when they give out scholarships.There is no time for them to develop because of the arbitrary time of when college starts that has nothing to do with athleticism.I hope it's better in Europe because there isn't an arbitrary time to give a scholarship and there still are many fewer native black players n Europe than America.Is this a well known fact amoung coaches? You still have a few white players like Rooney and Owen that became stars a a young age: Rooney at 16 and Owen at 18.
