With Denmark qualifying this is the first time in the World Cup that 3 Scandinavian teams have qualified for the one tournament.
Iceland makes it four?
Aye and Senegal make it five.

No clamour for him, me and fellow French Celts aside. But he's monitored by Deschamps and the staff. If Giroud or Lacazette is injured, he could have a chance.

Project Brave? No? It's been reported on quite a lot over the last year? :lol:

Anyway, I'm sure the linked article will help. :thumbsup:

I know what Project Brave is, aye.

I read the article, aye.

I don't know what difference this makes to any of the academies in a meaningful sense. Seems like they've wasted ages sorting out a grading system for very little. Which doesn't bode well for the success of this.

Shouldn't the Think Tank be sorting it all out soon anyway?

If it does not make any difference to any of the academies, then surely they would have all applied for elite and achieved it?

I know that given Dundee's status they've just recently advertised for four new full time Academy staff. That's something they presumably might not have done without being on the lowest wrung.

It makes a lot of demands of clubs and academies, but it's not like the template that's been followed previously has a gleaming track record, is it?

Looks like Fox are trying to arrange an alternative tournament for the teams that didnt make the world cup, probably as the US not being in it will lower interest.
I doubt very much that FIFA would allow this to happen.
It sounds like it is, will essentially be classed as friendlies and aimed at getting players international experience and player development. Americans here are laughing at it, calling it the football version of the NIT, CBI (if you follow college basketball).

Essentially its because Fox paid a silly amount of money for the world cup to fill their summer schedule and need audiences watching somehow.

I don't doubt there's more to it but the article just says that some academies have been graded in some way. It would be good for the article to outline to the reader the implications for them.

Mackay is quoted as saying it's an important milestone. Surely it's something that would have taken a few days to come up with and any remedial actions could have started quicker.
