Morgan Rogers

[andyh]

He had a poor game yesterday.
Fair play to Leicester. They did their homework and did a number on Morgan. He had a player on him the second he received the ball, they swamped him.

But, that’s down to the fact his reputation now proceeds him and the huge progress he has made. He is recognised as a massive danger and teams will try and stifle him.

He will deal with it, and become even better. I’m sure.

I always wondered how do players over 21 play for them? Swear rogers is 22?

The U21 thing I believe is based on a player being U21 when the qualification starts for a tournament. So, if you’re eligible to play in the first qualifier, then you’re eligible to play until the tournament itself is over.

I think we’re halfway through qualifying for the next tournament? We won the last one in 2023 (when JJ got injured). In theory the U21 final could be fought by two teams full of players just shy of 23.

[London Villan]

Never let him turn in yesterday, unlike the arsenal game.

[Dante Lavelli]

Yeah I think Morgan Gibbs White was pushing 23 when we won it and he was one of the players of the tournament.

They’re the rules but it’s a bit odd.

Yeah, I think it makes sense so you don’t have your team losing players as the competition goes on as one by one their birthdays come.

And the 'cut off' date is always January 1st so, for this season, anyone born in 2003 or later is officially considered as U21 (and that's a universal thing so it's same rule for anything that has restrictions based on age). They do it based on that rather than season because not all leagues start and end at the same time so calendar year is more consistent.
