Football Asia (Espn, star sports) has this segment on Singapore AYG and YOG team in this week's segment. Thought u guys might wanna check this out. Talks abt their preparations for the tournament and their thoughts. Head Coach is David Sivalingam. (Not too good of a impression from the interviews). They currently have a squad of 30 from the selection trials earlier in the year and have training daily at the Sports School. Each sunday, they have a match in the COE U-16 tournament, so they are playing against players two years their senior. Anyway, the captain is Jeffrey Adam Lightfoot (from tampines rovers academy).

I think that he's not called up because there's a huge difference in gap between the skill level and the size of children in different age group,even if its like 1 or 2 yrs difference. It's unlike the senior team where 1 or 2 yrs difference will not make alot of difference

yeah i watched the 6 or 7 min plus feature on this week's edition of Football Asia, good that the young Lions' preparation for the upcoming AYG is featured. And the captain, Jeffrey Adam Lightfoot, is a potential pin-up boy for local football considering his looks. Hopefully he matches his skills to his looks!
