England B team

England B is a secondary football team run occasionally as support for the England national football team. At times they have played other nation's full teams; they have also played matches against 'B' teams from other football associations. Since the team's first use in 1947, there have been 53 official[1] and 3 unofficial[2] B team matches (as of 2006). Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

History

Walter Winterbottom first proposed B team matches as a way of bringing players through into the national side (the Under 21 team, the current stepping stone to the national team, did not exist until 1976[3]).[1] He organised the first recorded game held under the name of 'England B', which was played in Geneva on February 21, 1947 against Switzerland B team.[2] The match finished 0-0. The games proved useful as an introduction to the national team and the first official England B team game came in 1949 in a 4-0 victory over Finland[1] Sir Walter Winterbottom, CBE (January 31, 1913 in Oldham, England – February 16, 2002) was manager of the England football team from 1946 until 1962. ...

The frequency of the games depends almost entirely upon the head coach of the England squad.[1] For example, there were no B team internationals under Sir Alf Ramsey or Don Revie; indeed there were none between 1957 and 1978. Ron Greenwood reintroduced them[1] and Sir Bobby Robson used them regularly - there were nine B team internationals in 1989 and 1990. This period saw the likes of Paul Gascoigne enter the England team via the B squad[1] The head coach in sports coaching is the coach who is in charge of the other coaches. ...

Sven-Göran Eriksson arranged just one B team match during his time in charge, held on May 25, 2006 against Belarus as a World Cup warm-up game. England lost 2-1, with a goal from Jermaine Jenas. Theo Walcott debuted for England B as the youngest player for them, but as it was a B international, this does not count towards official records, and had to wait until the 3-1 friendly victory against Hungary to break the official record, aged 17 years and 75 days.   (IPA: , born February 5, 1948) is a currently unemployed football coach from Sweden. ...

Attendance

Attendances and opponents have varied widely, with some games against first teams (the last of which was in 2006 against Belarus), Olympics teams and other B team squads. The most recent game against Belarus had an attendance of 22,032 at the Madejski Stadium.[6] Prior to that, the previous time that the B team had played in front of more than 20,000 people was in 1978 in a match in Singapore (against that country's national team), when 40,000 people attended.[2] The five Olympic rings were designed in 1913, adopted in 1914 and debuted at the Games at Antwerp, 1920. ...

The highest attendances for England B games were in a series of matches against the Netherlands and Netherlands B in the 1950s, when the Olympisch Stadion in Amsterdam saw three matches with an attendance of 60,000.[2] The highest attendance at home for the B team was 43,068 at St James' Park, Newcastle, again against the Netherlands on February 22, 1950.[2] The Olympic Stadium The Olympisch Stadion was built as the main stadium for the 1928 Summer Olympics. ...

Popularity and use

The games are generally seen as being a way of bringing younger or more inexperienced players into the national team set up, without giving them a full cap.[7] They may often be held before World Cups or other tournaments to give second choice players, injured players or possible choices an opportunity to have a full game to either keep their fitness or play their way into the first team.[1] The FIFA World Cup Trophy, which has been awarded to the world champions since 1974. ...


However, some fans and footballers see the games as slightly pointless, as indicated by the low attendances of the games during the 1980s and 1990s, when as few as 4,000 fans would watch home games. When Chris Sutton was picked for England B before the 1998 FIFA World Cup, he refused to play for the team, claiming that it was a waste of time and that he should have been picked for the first team.[8] This boycott, however, ended Sutton's chances of ever playing for the full national team again. Furthermore, Matt Le Tissier, who scored a hat-trick for the England B team against Russia B in that match failed to make the 1998 FIFA World Cup squad.[7] On the other hand, Darren Anderton made the leap from the B team to full team squad in 1998, whilst other players such as Paul Gascoigne have been brought to the full team via the Bs.[1] Christopher Roy Sutton (born 10 March 1973 in Nottingham, England) is an English footballer, currently playing for Aston Villa. ...

In 2006, the England B team game was seen as being useful for giving a glimpse of potential future England players.[9] In particular, it proved useful for Aaron Lennon and Peter Crouch to stake their claims for places in the 2006 FIFA World Cup squad.[9] Furthermore, it provided match practice for Michael Owen and Sol Campbell, who were both returning from injury. Overall, 12 players from the 2006 B team squad[10] eventually made it to the final World Cup squad.[11] That said, an injury picked up in the game prevented goalkeeper Robert Green from playing at the World Cup[12] and of the twelve players in both squads, only seven were not esatablished players with over 25 caps. Aaron Justin Lennon (born April 16, 1987 in Chapeltown, Leeds) is an English footballer currently playing for Tottenham Hotspur. ...
