pretty much the only thing I can find on Edwards from today's game but obviously he wasn't on for long. was listening to it on the radio and it sounded like it had descended into a game of bad tackles and handbags by that point though so not much football going on. hopefully he can get a bit more time in their next game.

england u16s beat cameroon 2-0. walcott started, albeit out of position, he did about as well as you could expect from a massive cb playing at rb. cirkin came on at half time and was decent again, put in a really nice cross at 28:45 in the vid below




he seems like an intelligent heads-up player to me, comfortable on the ball and supports attacks well. kind of how i imagine a 15 year old ben davies would've looked.

Glad to hear Cirkin is looking good, I was really unimpressed in that Middle Eastern tournament but hopefully he just had off-days, which absolutely happens at that age.

Actually met him on the tube a while ago with his mum, spotted him straight away like he was a celeb :LOL:

I said, keep working hard and you'll play for Spurs one day. He said, thanks I will.

Cryptic ITK on a 9 year old, a new SC record. Is that I will work hard...or I will play for Spurs o_O

Someone bump this post in 10 years.

I’d love to see him play against other 9 year old. Must score 10 goals a game. These kids rarely make it. But I guess if you want to be the next messi you need to be this good at 9.

Lovely goal that. Binks has definitely got something about him. Just really stands out.

Ye he does. On instagram he regularly posts that he has scored 8 and assisted 7 or top scorer at PL Futsal tournament. I assume one of his parents run his account, just don't really post anything as I'm sure no one is that interested in keeping up with his game by game commentary or I don't think there is any benefit in discussing and hyping up a 9 year old. As we're talking about him, I remember him posting that he bagged 13 goals in a day. I doubt it is one game and they play a few.

Also, while we are discussing the younger age groups, I heard our u12s beat Arsenal 7-1. I'v mentioned Axel Piesold who is an u13 that regularly gets POTT awards. Anyway update at the Mediterranean Cup. Our u12s seemed to be smashing everyone before losing to Espanyol

Squad and results here http://miclive.micfootball.com/index.php

Also made an error it is our u13s currently at the MIC Cup not our u14s
Class C2 U13 – Boys born after 01-01-2005 (age class allows 2 players born after 01-07-04)

They were doing well, before losing to Tuttifutbol Academy. We had beaten Lyon 2-0 Jaden Williams got 2 assists. Squad and results here

Quality goal. Was watching the game rather than skipping and caught me and the keeper off guard

edwards highlights from yesterday, all two of them lol




obviously not much to go on but good to see him in a first team environment playing against adults. he doesn't look particularly small there either which is one of the main hang ups people have about him.
