By our culture we don't eat well that is why we have to cheat to be able to catch up with the whites in all age competition.Look at Balotteli & Danny Welbeck well built bcos they were fed well when young.

No African nation is exempt from this erroneous lies; all the players are fathers. They are old boys and the biggest of the liars is Nigeria

When will Ghanaians wean themselves of Nigeria fear factor which has already developed into inferiority complex in average Ghanaian. The fear of Nigeria to the Ghanaian is the begining of wisdom, how could Ghanaian age cheat story becomes an issue with Nigeria. Ghanaians should stop worrying themselves about Nigeria. Lagos State's economy alone is bigger than the entire economy of Ghana, so the two countries don't belong in the same category to neccessitate this senseless rivalry by Ghanaians. If you bother yourself too much about someone richer and more resourceful than you; you are bound to loose your normal sleep, that is the quagmire most Ghanaians have found themselves in. Live Nigeria out your internal problems cos Nigerians don't even see Ghana as a competitive economic partner of any sort anyway.

GIVE US A BREAK MR.KNOW IT ALL. AND SHUT THE "F" UP. LET'S PROPOSE WEIGHT AND STRUCTURE REQUIREMENT IN SOCCER LIKE WE DO IN BOXING. A 20 YEAR OLD BORN & BREAD GHANAIAN LOOK SO THIN AND WEIGHTLESS COMPARE TO A 16 YEAR OLD CAMEROUNIAN, YET NOBODY GIVES A HOOT. IF CAF AND FOR THAT MATTER FIFA, WANTS TO BE FAIR IN YOUTH SOCCER,THEY HAVE TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE GENERAL PHYSIQUE OF THE PLAYERS. THE AGE CATEGORY OF YOUTH SOCCER IS UNFAIR. MOST OF OUR YOUTH LIVES ON ONE MEAL A DAY. HOW DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO DEVELOP TO THE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THEIR COUNTERPARTS,HMMM!! THATS WHY THE AFRICAN CUP HAS ELUDED US FOR DECADES.GONE ARE THE DAYS OF MFUMS'-OPOKU AFRIYIES'-ATTUQUAYEFIOS' & THE REST, WHO CAN PUSH THESE MEN AROUND? NOBODY!! SO LEAVE US ALONE, GHANA WILL FIND THE BEST WAY WE CAN TO COMPETE OK.

See we are our own enemies should a coach speak like that. I know SHARP personally but this comment by him is so unwarranting what does he mean there's no true u17 player in Ghana did he give birth to them. Instead of a seasoned coach speaking sensibly you are rather shooting the nation in the foot. Has Sharp ascertained the ages of the Brazilians they are just like us and also the Nigerians even the Cameroon boys are they all under 17, Ghana would only accept this MRI result if the same machine is used to examine every player from the participating countries including Cameron even though they are out. This is very stupid talk Ghana shouldn't allow CAF single them out and drag their reputation into the mud. What is good for the goose is good for thee gander, let CAF examine every player and carry it through to the u17 world cup.Nonsense.

This coach is a traitor. Ban him from any assignment with any national team before he national secrets. What about other African Teams? They are all snow-white clean, right? He should not be opening his big mouth while the issue is still being resolved. Talk about washing the dirty linen, if at all the linen were dirty. I would like to see what award Sarpong gets from AFC.

the best way to answer a fool is to keep mute, let the coach battle with is brains and draw a final conclusion to him self that he weren't around when those players where born so he doesn't know their regular and actual age and he can't assume as well so he must apologize to the nation in return. only a strong criminal knows his fellow criminal.

As if the sending of the 30 million dollars by the President on a private jet to Brazil wasn't enough of an embarrassment, today the seemingly deception "ticket" to the national U17 is a huge deflation of our pride and ego. The people responsible for this disgraceful slip shouldn't be allowed to go with impunity. They should be punished to serve as a deterrent to others in future. Let's not forget that "When a fish rots, it begins from . . ." .
