I think I can only ever remember about 1. No-one ever mentions those when discussing the failures of the national side. If clubs need them then so to do national sides. That said isn't Roy Hodgeson in charge of the England B side anyway.......I can't remember the last time anyone played that he actually wanted to select! ;-)

They would have no one to play and clubs would just block it. Most national sides take the Under 21's and the Olympics more seriously that the home nations do and in essence they are your B team / reserves.
