Why are Under 21 games listed as non-competitive? Its stupid as they are mixed with friendlies and there is no way to tell how the player is performing.
Well they are pretty non-competitive really, because they're only players against players aged 21 and under. You can't really judge a player on what he does in these games. Most international under 21 teams are gash.

B******s!
They should be placed into International or have a whole new section of their own. Many a scout go and watch Under 19's and Under 21's play.
B******s to yourself.
They're still not competing against experienced older players. It's 21 years old vs 21 years old and not a fair reflection on the player.
i agree that the under 21 international competitions (eg u21 european championship etc) should really be classified as competitive ... but then to include them in the 'international' category would be to compare them to the full international players ... so it would require a whole new category i suppose, and a whole new layer of the database...
Whatever the argument, it should have its own category as they have more merit than friendlies and less merit than senior internationals. I gather for space restriction SI couldnt include it!
