Arsenal academy coach banned for 3 games for reducing teenage ref to tears by his behaviour in an Under 9s game. What a wanker!

Possibly the FA could introduce similar to various parents who act in a similar way in such games?

They do, indirectly. It's down to the clubs to sanction parents. The FA, if necessary, discipline clubs for failing to control parents. But if the coach is setting this kind of example, can't expect the players or parents to act with respect toward the ref. Where it's a young ref and adult coach, as is usually the case in kids' games, there's also an issue of bullying

They always have a non South America in it for some reason. Not sure why but the likes of Australia, Japan, etc have been in it before

Only 10 South American sides, it just gets them up to a tournament format based on 12 teams. There was talk of this one being 16, but they ended up with 12. Usually the extras come from Concacaf but they're playing their own tournament at the moment so Asian sides got invited instead.

Ah fair enough then. As you were. Probably should be filed under "What's wrong with my knowledge of global football" instead Smiley

Just watched the U 21's game and apart from the early couple of chances it began to remind me of the Town from a few seasons ago. Play slowly out from the back get so far up the pitch, find the opposition have regrouped so then go backwards again. It is the style of play that Southgate is fond of and has all the England teams playing to this method which is understandable, but just like the seniors Netherlands game saw quite a few balls given to the French by dwelling too long to make a pass, being tackled and losing the ball. I do not want to see 1000 mile an hour football but like to see the game played with some pace and did not witness much of that tonight. I want the U 21's to do well but they could be up against it now.
