Time to tell FIFA and UEFA to sort it out.

[m_vaughan]

I meant on the pitch.

And as for the reasons, UEFA are concerned with football as a whole, and dont want just the game in one region to prosper at the cost of the others.

Seriously, do you watch English football? Outside the big 4 i mean. there's some top-quality football teams with raw english talent.

They didn't mind Italy and Spain dominating European football.

They didn't mind Italy and Spain dominating European football.

Exactly the point I was going to make, where were they when Spain were dominating around 2000, 2001, or Italy in around 2002, 2003.

Fifa, Will?

Gimme half an hour? still got stuff to do.

 

[PhilD123]

Doesnt he support Chelsea?

Oh, we're not sure whether it's support, when they play he supports them, then when he gets asked why he supports more than one team, he just likes them.

Sure, Will, fancy an international match?

 

[Will_NA]

Doesnt he support Chelsea?

Exactly. He doesn't seem to care much for English football.

Oh, and another point. Remember that Valencia vs Inter brawl that happened a few years ago? Did Uefa punish either team? Did they bollocks. If an English team had been involved, well, use your brain.

Yeah, I actually do. I call Holland

 

[PhilD123]

Great if you want fake players, they're on the game, but fake players names cos they aint got a licence for them.

Yes I do, and also did I read the BBC's survey stating how low the percentage is (34%) at the moment.

Its lower than any other top league in Europe.

That was a disgrace. I am not saying UEFA are always correct.

I dont. I am not English. But I have a soft corner for CFC.

Inter Milan had one Italian player for their game against Liverpool, and then he got sent off.

They should have maybe but atleast Spain and Italy are making it to the national competitions alright and the top clubs from both those countries have enough nationals. (although Inter are a disgrace and Roma have all the Italian nationals)

Which is why it is a concern in Italy and which is why no one wanted them to win the Scudetto.

Fine then, anyone who isnt english has to get sold from their clubs in england, what does that do? Just brings more money into the country which fifa would call cheating. To be honest in England 3 of the top 4 are build on an English spine, Arsenal are the exception but produce good talents for other countries. Lets get rid of arsenals youth setup and see how many world class players are produced for other countries.

How many youth players do other big clubs in europe bring through? They don't, clubs like real madrid should get slated for trying to buy ronaldo for 100m when they could invest that into their youth system and bring through several ronaldos, but im sure thats ok.
