Liverpool FC through to Semi-Finals after Tottenham Withdraw from the Tournament
We can announce today that Tottenham Hotspur have decided to withdraw from the semi finals of the NextGen Tournament following an inadvertent breach of a competition regulation.
A spokesperson for the Next Gen Series, said: “Following conversations with senior Tottenham Hotspur officials, we have agreed to accept their withdrawal from the semi final stages of the event. This is hugely unfortunate and we are sorry to see that such a hard fought encounter as witnessed at White Hart Lane on Wednesday night should have this conclusion. However, we can only applaud the Club for demonstrating such impeccable levels of sportsmanship and for acting in a manner which recognises the good spirit of both the Tournament and the game itself. We thank both clubs for their help and support in making this first year of the event such a success and we look forward to welcoming Liverpool to the semi-finals."
Liverpool Football Club will now progress to the semi final stage where they will face the winners of the FC Barcelona versus Ajax encounter which takes place next week, 8th February 2012.
Tottenham Hotspur will return to the NextGen Series next season.

The problem I find is many followers of NextGen take this tale literally, and it causes hatred and division.
It is clearly an allegory on the weakness of man, and how he can find forgiveness despite this
