jimmyt86 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I am managing the USA U20s and have had 2 friendly games where I wasn't allowed to select any players aged 20. Now the U20 WC has come around and the squad has been selected for me with only 3 or 4 players that were in my previous squads in and some players that I was told were unavailable! Whys this?

Montanaro Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Under 20 means players under the age of 20 years. Seeing as how someone is 20 years old, they are = or > 20. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyt86 Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 yeah but for the U20 wc there are players that are 20 which surely means they are too old. They are still showing up in my national pool even when i tick the box that says only eligible for the U20s!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I think they're eligible if they were under 20 at the start of qualification for the competition. Not sure why it told you they were unavailable before, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyt86 Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 I presumed that might be the case as I remember Milner playing for the U21s at the age of 23!! Does anyone know why I wasn't able to select the squad? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyt86 Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 just had 2 injuries in my last group game, 1 fractured arm and 1 stubbed toe, but not allowed to call up replacements. This U20 world cup is weird, only 21 named in a squad which i didn't select and then no replacements allowed for injuries. fair enough not calling up replacement for the stubbed toe but unless the USA medical team is out of this world I cannot see them getting someone back in a matter of days from a fractured arm!!

AjaxNo1 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I have this with England U20, check the other squads, the u19 had robbed alot of my players, and even though I could see them in my squad I had to move them back to play them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyt86 Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 USA doesn't have an U19 squad. I'm nearly down to bare essentials, only managed to get 4 out of 7 subs....6 injuries doesn't help!!! what is wrong with the U20 world cup????????? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjaxNo1 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Dont know I left after it kept robbing my players, dont know what squads USA have but if they arnt in any others then is it down to clubs not allowing them to play? Isnt the U20 world cup in the middle of the season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
