Some readers feel Phala is trying to be relevant, and his controversial remarks might spoil other players' opportunities.<script type="application/json" data-placement="fcplayer-semantic">{"type":"fcplayer-semantic","data":{"embedCode":"//cdn.fcp.codes/embed-code-template/embed-code-template.js#SEMANTIC_5704afb8-c10b-4ba5-9cb4-d7fb6098ef90"}}</script>

'Thuso Phala trying to be relevant, age cheating exists! Ask 52-year-old Itumeleng Khune & 22-year-old Mothobi Mvala, even Doctor Khumalo did it' - Fans

Arjen Robben and Frank Ribery are 10 years older than their ages including Zinedine Zidane. That's why it was easy for him to be a coach and lead Real Madrid to greater heights. He was a player and coach in his prime - Mbosh La Dash

Ribery, Robben and Zidane cheated?

This in Africa is the order of the day. All the countries are doing it. I mean we know most players are not using real age everyone knows that - Yomzy Yalu

Most players not using their age

This thing of soccer players cheating on their ages is the same as someone who forged qualifications for work, where is the difference? It must be penalized equally so - Stephen Maths

Same us those who forged age to work

I don't agree with what his doing just because he is washed up doesn't mean he should tell it all. Some of these players are breadwinners he should talk about him and his age not mention other players - Sisa Feketshane

Phala destroying for other players? 

I have been wondering why most soccer players retire between 33 and 35 years, the real reason is that they are actually 5 years older than the age registered with the Soccer Federation, the calf muscles and the strength he had were way too big for a person of his age - Dikgwadi Baipone

Reason why players are retiring 'early?'

I think Wayne Rooney cheated age as well. I mean, the guy looks 10 decades old but they say he is 38 years old - Alphah Mswazi Dube

Rooney cheated?

I think Italy is the only country without age cheating. That country can play with the whole team over 40 and still outrun a team of 25-year-olds - Tshola Uzwe

Italy the only country without age-cheating

Fifa can get the correct ages of these players by using doctors. So I guess it is not a crime that's why they let them be - Makharamedzha

Fifa to blame?

This guy said nothing as he revealed nothing. Phala likes to sound relevant with controversial matters. What difference would it have made if he told us the truth we already knew? He just wants to deny other cheaters like him the opportunity to make a living from this game. Doctor Khumalo is one of the cheaters who claimed to have been born in 1970 but now he was suddenly born in 67 - Kagiso Riet

Phala wants to remain relevant

Yes, age cheating certainly does exist, ask the 52-year-old Khune and 22-year-old Mothobi Mvala. It's been happening for the longest time - Mgubela

Khune 52 & Mvala 22?

South Africans agree with Thuso Phala that many players don&apos;t use their real age in football.
