  • Seriously, U10's on full size pitches?

    In the Netherlands the kids play 7 a side until they turn 11 but a lot of clubs like to apply for dispensation so that they can slow down a bit further.

    Don't think it's ever been any different either.

    FWIW I think it could be a good thing that the Dutch didn't qualify for the Euros, hopefully they start from fresh and get a new team together that can do something a bit more positive in the next WC providing it's not going to get boycotted.

    It's a shame we keep qualifying. In this era of bragging about the amount of money in our game something they and the media keep banging on about- that maybe that could be the watershe....bollox. We've uncoupled our FA from our flagship league. Nothing will change until the bottom falls out of the market.
