I've not moved either Russia-2 national football team or Turkey A2 national football team, as the naming is less obvious in those cases. These can be either boldly moved or discussed further on their respective talk pages. -- Trevj (talk · contribs) 09:53, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

• Germany B national football team → Germany national football B team
• England B national football team → England national football B team
• France B national football team → France national football B team
• Republic of Ireland B national football team → Republic of Ireland national football B team
• Northern Ireland B national football team → Northern Ireland national football B team

• San Marino B national football team → San Marino national football B team
• Scotland B national football team → Scotland national football B team
• Turkey A2 national football team → Turkey national football B team

– Per this discussion on WP:FOOTY, it appears that the consensus is to have national 'B' teams (reserve teams) at XYZ national football B team, rather than XYZ B national football team, because the second formulation is an incorrect description; i.e. someone may think that Germany B national football team is the national football team of the country Germany B, rather than being the second team of Germany.

• Support per norm and discussion. There may be an exception to be made for Russia and Turkey though. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 13:42, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
• Support There are no countries like Germany B, England B and so on... Kante4 (talk) 13:59, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
• Support - As I said in the discussion at WP:FOOTBALL (linked above), "B team" is a compound noun that shouldn't be separated in the title of the article. The situation with Turkey and Russia may have to be re-examined as they apparently do not use a standard naming format, but since they play B internationals, they are unquestionably B teams, not "Russia 2" or "Turkey A2". – PeeJay 14:51, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Further information on Turkey and Russia: Turkey sometimes uses the name "A2" for its second team (as does Germany) because it sometimes describes its full national team as the "A" team (no, not that one). The Russian wikipedia title for "Russia-2" is Вторая сборная России по футболу, or "Second Russia football team". I think "B team" is interchangeable with either term and there is no strong reason for having it at "XYZ-2" or "XYZ A2" rather than the "B team" formula proposed.

    • In that case, you have my full support for all moves. – PeeJay 15:42, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
• Support as described by PeeJay EddieV2003 (talk) 15:23, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
• Support I agree that it sounds more better and that in Football Manager 2014 I'm playing, they are called as "Germany national football B Team", so I think it makes sense to do the same thing here in Wikipedia. Hisakiwa21 (talk) 16:02, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

• Support per above. Mattythewhite (talk) 20:42, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
• Support Aye, makes sense Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 20:55, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
• Support I am confused by the current format. "Germany B"? Is that an alt-universe Germany? Will the headlines next year be "Space Nazis Win 2014 World CUP - Defeats Genetically Engineered Boys of Brazil In Penalty Shout Out"? ^walk victor falk ^talk 10:12, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
• Support per nom. HandsomeFella (talk) 10:48, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
• Support - per PeeJay. Fenix down (talk) 17:16, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
• Support – per outcome of discussion. C679 21:48, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
