England "B" Team.
OTF opinion here please.
Firstly is a B Team cap counted as an international cap or not?
And is their a point to this team, could they not just play second tier players in the full team? :S

Its not a full cap. And i presumed it was a way of getting players, with potential to play in the full international team, familiar with the whole international setup

the 'B' team is useful when coming up to major tournaments and you want to field your 'strongest' team, but also look at fringe players who could possibly be needed if a player is injured or loses their form or whatever.

You can get round restrictions by classifying games as B games instead of A games. Can't for the life of me think of what those restrictions are (helpful
) but I'm sure it was the case for the last England B game. It was only classed B for some technical reason.

Does it just mean the manager doesn't lose his 100%, clean sheet record even though he's playing second tier players?

Does Chris Armstrong also have a B team appearance?
Does half term make the board even more ****?
