I don't understand what is the hype about foreigners who "could" turn out for England in the future.
This week Manchester United's Adnan Januzaj has caused a stir on and off the pitch, off the pitch he's probably made Jack Wilshere shit his pants (not really but that's what it seems).
Ok I do agree with the fact you have to be born here and be fully "English" to play for our national team but wasn't a certain Mr Youtuber....I mean Owen Hargreaves born in Canada!
Played in Germany for a while then moved to England so he possibly could of played for Canada or Germany but am sure he played for England while he was in Germany!
Anyways that's not the point but he was probably one of our and Manchester United's best midfielder until he got injured and ruined his career by going to the blue side of Manchester(booooooooo)!
but no concern was raised when Owen Hargreaves played
So why the hype now?
Not like England have been successful in the modern era and I don't think they will ever be Unless of course things change but it could be a little too late with the St Georges Park facilities and other input the new FA chief Greg Dyke will bring in.
Yes Brazil and other international teams do possibly have a few who were not born in the actual country they play for but if you look at Spain how they bring about their own players and how they "sell" their football right through their youth teams England are embarrassingly miles behind.
There's no problem with "foreign-ish" players playing for England but why can't we create our own blooded youths who will have a passion to play for England rather than a foreign player looking lost while "God Save The Queen", "3 Lions on the shirt" or any other patriotic England song blazez out.
I wonder if there would of been so much debate if say Thierry Henry turned out to play for England rather than a teenage prodigy who hasn't said mentioned anything about playing for an international team yet!
So much hype right now with the debate wonder what would happen if a foreigner did end up playing for England?!!! Can imagine the media meltdown, The Queen would probably move to India and we'd all have to learn a new language...foreignish(no?...
If one foreigner English based player does one day end up playing for England then no point of having any of the junior teams because what will happen is we will end up having more than ONE you know how the FA are ;)
Anyways, feel free to post your views below and share!
Au Revior!.....I mean Hello*
*not French just a bit of banter born and blooded in England!
