outside box goes to his linesman and penalty?

Wales 2-0 England John (pen)

England poor. Wales playing well.

 

[Mackenzie]

Wales 3-0 England John (pen)



I think Wales having 7 Cardiff players is the difference, they play together every week.

Before tonight these two teams have played 77 times, England winning 61 and Wales 3.

 

[MrShaun15]

Is U16 the same as a schoolboy international?
If it is then Poyet will be playing for England cos he goes to an English school not cos he's English necessarily - like Ryan Giggs.

Nope, this is England under 16's.

I am pretty sure the earlier Internationals which were called England Schoolboys also was the International team.

I am sure that even the offshoots such as the English College teams etc, are based on nationalities rather than an individual attending an English school.

Ryan Giggs inclusion in the English School Boys was as a qualifying English national but eventually chose Wales.

You are wrong, Giggs was in the England schoolboys team because he went to an English school. He didn't choose Wales he was never eligible under FIFA rules to play for anyone else. It's a common misconception that Giggs could play for England, he simply couldn't.

That is a rule now in place (was implemented last season) but was not whilst Giggs was a youngster...

Does this mean the lad has lost his chance to ever represent Uruguay?

Ok, thats interesting, however does this therefore disqualify an English kid educated outside of England representing England Schoolboys

Not too sure why they wear the three lions on their shirt, which is a representation of English nationality within football and not usually associated with anything but that.
