When my kid was little and playing soccer I swear we had some Hispanic kids that had to be 13-14 years old playing against us in the 10-11 year old division. I commented to my wife that I am sure they don’t have birth certificates.

But can he play kickball???
This is very typical of migrants.. happening all over Europe. If you say you’re underage, you can never be repatriated.
If you say so, but this guy is in jail with no bail and will be deported, soon.
This is like all those Taiwanese little league players who were married with kids.......
