England U-16 Discussion Thread 2 [R] (2008 born)

Playing Denmark in the final game at the moment. They've also won both their games so winner takes all.

XI: Brits; Shahar, Mfuni, Noble, Amass; King, Rigg (c); Barbour, Moore, Mukasa; Mheuka

0-0 at HT.

 

England take the lead in the 52nd minute with an OG.

Does anyone know the international rules for boys being eligible to play home nations? As in, how would a boy born in England be eligible to play for Ireland for example?

 

probably haven’t worded it very well - I know there will be a close relative with that citizenship - but I guess my question is how close?

 

A parent or grandparent.

Don't often get much media coverage at this level. Not a very enlightening article though.

Does Fitzgerald play midfield for his club? He seems to have generally been part of a back three for this England U16 squad.

Both Denmark & England are at Montaigu next month!

 

The Sun have used a pic of Divin Mubama for Divine Mukasa, why does this keep happening?

 

It’s The Sun, what do you expect?

 

Chido Obi back with Denmark for the Montaigu Tournament.

🚨 Exclusive:

I've now been told by a credible source that England also wanted to include Chido Obi in their squad.

He rejected the offer and chose to represent Denmark instead.#ForDanmark #COYG https://t.co/XRhpF4NWGG pic.twitter.com/sgtFzEgODb

Also, Enrique Lameiras (Crystal Palace) is with Portugal & Leo Christophers (Southampton) with Japan.

 

Crampton, Amass, Mheuka all in for Montaigu.

 

Rigg too.

 

Another one to add is Leicester's Josh King. He played for Scotland (against England) during the last round of fixtures but this time he's been named in the Czech Republic squad.

 

That’s some swing there, going from England to Scotland and now in the Czech Squad. This cosmopolitan World we live in never ceases to amaze me.

 

Trevan Sanusi, Stephen Mfuni, Kian Noble, Luca Fletcher all in.

 

Brits, Crampton, H.Whitworth

Amass, Amissah, Drake, Mfuni, Noble, Shahar, Esdaille
J.Fletcher, Harrison, Cartwright, Mukasa, Nyoni, Rigg, Olusesi
Moore, Lacey, Sanusi, Mheuka, L.Fletcher, Myles

Harry Whitworth from Palace, DJ Esdaille from Liverpool and Ollie Harrison from Newcastle are the new faces.

 

Rigg has pulled out through injury. Remains to see if he'll be replaced or not.

1-0 after 7 mins, Mheuka tap-in after a couple of shots saved.

 

Whitworth, Shahar, Amass, Harrison, Mfuni, Noble, Lacey, J.Fletcher, Mheuka, Moore, Mukasa.

Think that's the team, just Jack Fletcher/19 I'm not 100% on atm.

 

1-0 HT.

 

Thanks for the link Juni, got it to work eventually. No idea how good New Caledonia would be but they've actually got some decent technical players, espcially attackers.

Never seen Harrison play before, biggest lad on the field I reckon.
