U23+ or B team

edit

Is Liechtenstein national under-23+ football team just a B team, like France national football B team or Italy national football B team? Being open for players under 23 + could mean under 23, 24, 25, 26... and so forth, ie, players of all age. Since the source used in the article talks of team being formed for players not invited into the A team, it fits the description of what a B team actually is.

Of the 3 squads that have been used for this team since it started, only 6 of the 67 call ups have been for players who are over the age of 23, with the most recent squad for the friendly vs Wales u21 containing no overage players (and the other two squads containing 3 overage players each). Additionally, the team has never been referred to as a reserve or B team officially, always being called the U23+ team by Liechtenstein themselves, or occasionally (mistakenly) referred to by opponents as Liechtenstein's U21. Because of this, I think its a mistake to rename the article - the title is no more descriptive than the original, and uses a term that has not once been used in any official capacity to describe the team.
