Monday @ 13.00 England u16's v Switzerland u16's

In the squad are Japhet Tangana (CB), Jaden Brown (LB) and Keanan Bennetts (mid/winger)

Also :

Wednesday @ 13.00 v Slovakia
Sarurday @ 14.00 v France
The U16's lost 3-2, Tanganga and Bennetts (who hit the post) both started, Brown was on the bench.

The FA website also says Tanganga's club is ?????, Bennetts plays for Arsenal and Brown plays for Chelsea :eek:

Thanks working now. Good to see a video of just assists and passes.

IG did you read the Sherwood article where he talks about Marcus Edwards ?

Yes like you said it was posted a while ago. BG also posted it in another thread today. Great words, though someone said that apparently the club were less than impressed with him for talking about him publicly

That is genuinely embarrassing that the FA website don't know what club they play for. The least the reporter would have to do is type their name into google. They still want to convince themselves that the sky 4 clubs have the best players.

FA Youth Cup:

Chelsea won 3 - 0 at Newcastle after extra time, so if we beat Forest on Wednesday, we play Chelsea over 2 legs in semi-final. We would be at home in 1st leg but have to overcome Forest first, no counting of chickens.

Can only assume that the 'FA staff'writing the sotory doesn't like Spurs very much - the FA should take disciplinary action against the writer - the story about the original squad selection http://www.thefa.com/news/england/d...d-u16s-squad-named-for-euro-tournament-260115 got it correct, so there is no real excuse for the writer of the match result story getting it wrong

The Tanganga one is worse. At least the other two the uninformed may think they have done their job, but for Tanganga they clearly have no care in the world what others may think. I mean it is the FA official website and they are so blasé about not knowing where their players come from. Comes across as very arrogant to me, I don't care how unprofessional it looks they won't do anything about it

They'll probably never change it. It'll be one of those things we'll have to live with.

You're right, it'll not be changed. When Luke Amos played for the U-16 England team, he was on their website as a striker even though he always played in midfield then. That wasn't changed.

It's disgraceful that the FA website make such basic error. No self-respecting blogger would put up a report like that and even worse for an official site. I wrote a Spurs blog for over 2 years and did my utmost to make sure everything was correct and checked on Google if I was unsure of some factual information.
