Anyone else think it’s shit that football teams no matter what country they’re from are packed with foreign players?
It’s better when teams are made up of players from the same country and better still, players from the local area who supported the club i.e Totti for Roma, Maldini for Milan, Adams for Arsenal.

Unironically kill yourself
you have no right to prevent workers from working where they want
For me, its proper englishmen like Jamaal M’baku-Chamberlain and Harry Bogwu-Miller that make the game enjoyable
I fucking wish my club could attract some more good players from wherever, they can bring in some outside knowledge and help improve the team
based and EU pilled
here we still have a limit of 6 foreign players
it's one of the few reasons I still watch Argentine football (the other is many players come from the youth divisions of the club), otherwise it would be Euro football with less money.
>limiting foreign players
How do you get away with that in the year 2016+3
isn't that problematic??
That's why junior football is the best time ever
>playing with actual frens
>every game is a local rivalry
>playing for bragging rights, prestige and trophies, no money involved
>have qt girls from high school come to your games from time to time
european clubs have a limited number of foreign players too. africans don't count (because that would be racist to prevent them to get richer), most argies and brazilians with an european grandparent have dual citizenship with an european country so they don't count as foreigners
>Anyone else think it’s shit that football teams no matter what country they’re from are packed with foreign players?
This is why you watch the lower leagues.

Wat? How did you know that?

It is shit. PSG played with one Frenchman. There should be rule that requires teams to field at least 6 players from their home country. English teams especially will become irrelevant in Europe.
One Italian in the Juve team, Two English in the Liverpool team. Only Bayern have a decent native contingent.
I’d like to see an academy player quota brought in.
Fucking this! It would help you English so much
stupid rule, so what if they're injured, you forfeit everygame?
If it is more cost effective to bring through academy players then the clubs already would be doing that if the levels of success on the field were the same.
PSG yesterday played with more spanish players than Real Madrid
Other than that, spanish teams are quite balanced
I guess they just bring in academy youth, and lose more games with their shitty team of 17yo fortnite enthusiasts lmao
My local team that plays in conference North has players from Netherlands Antilles, France (yes he's black), Portugal, Jamaica, Poland and Romania. No football team in this country is safe from wannabe ngubus hoping to get scouted to the big leagues.
>he doesn't support his local non league club packed with good honest local lads earning a normal wage
this is a bad idea anyway, quotas means players who deserve to play are discriminated.
this is why I laugh at retards that get upset that I bandwagon a club 2k miles away
it would help them be more shit in club football
which team is that lad
It all died in 1996
agree, look at saffer rugby they're so fucked up by quotas they've turned to doping to stay competitive
Nuneaton town
clown world.
Football players are almost entirely American
Obviously you build your squad based on this rule.
Those guys are just mad that you're not following their team, which you've never heard of and which they don't want you to follow because you're not local. Fuck them, just support Liverpool, a club which appreciates its plastics.
Nuneaton Town aren't in the National League North.
I remember Ravanelli at Middlesbrough, my favourite player that season with Dwight Yorke. Had a sick celebration which I used to copy when we played at break times school.
so you would be forced to not hire players who deserve their spot in the team because lower quality player are forced to play? not nice.

Whatever you say pal.
>the club participates in the southern league premier division central
They were relegated from the NL North.
Domestic players don't have to be lower quality, especially since teams will be forced to focus more on youth. It beats seeing teams with 10 foreigners in any case.
you're so wrong, you fucking commie.
Eat shit you retarded frog.
the norwegian league is 95% norwegian shitters
If focusing on youth development worked as good as bringing players in from other clubs, more teams would do it, especially if it's less expensive than transfer fees
I would play for Molde, very nice stadium, but you'd have to pay me overs to leave home
This is why we need Brexit. I want League 2 shitters starting for United in the Prem because only pure Anglos would be allowed to play in England. Boris Johnson, please fix football
you first
Kluivert faggot bitch. I'm glad his bitch son flopped hard.
I was talking about after the rule is being enforced. The reason you see little talent coming trough at the big clubs is because they don't give young players time to grow. They spend big money on players they expect to deliver right away.
If they could get the same success by bringing their own youth players through their system and if it's less expensive than spending big money transfers, they would do it. If your club has to spend big money all the time, it means your youth development is shit.
It's a matter of investment in time and monetary cost versus success.
>european clubs have a limited number of foreign players too
Officially yes. But that foreign players from other EU countries dont count as "foreign"
It would be interesting to see what will happen with the Premier League after Brexit. They would need to to really on home ground players
What's even worse is foreign nationals playing for national teams. If you weren't born there you shouldn't be eligible to play. Otherwise what the fuck is the point.
I wonder how our big 3 sports leagues would deal with mostly foreign rosters. The closest we have to that is in baseball, where about 15% of the league is foreign born. In basketball it's like 10%, and in football it doesn't even crack 1%.
imagine being a "man" who opts to keep a woman's name
Is honestly rather support a shite team of local lads than some mega club of imports that does not give one fuck about the team or locals
Nothing will change, they might require work visas for some nationalities but it won't be any problem. If anyone suggests any kind of restrictions the clubs playing for and in Europe will oppose it.
There are some pretty big clubs that do care about their own local lads too though. If you support your local club it's easier to get to the games and you feel more connected to it, you see people from the club at the shops and out and about. I like a couple of other big clubs to watch on tv too.
>There are some pretty big clubs that do care about their own local lads too though.
Name one. Which big club actually relies on "local lads" as the main part of its starting lineup? Even Barca when everyone was jerking off about them having an all-academy team was using guys from all over Spain+Messi.
athletic bilbao
I said big club
This is why handegg is better. Also, fuck Tom Brady.
Also, Inaki Williams is not a "local lad".
Nah, football sucks even worse than soccer. Also Brady>Rodgers.
bigger than any club in your shit country
He is, you absolute retard. I don't know why I bother to reply to a fucking amerifat
>Which big club actually relies on "local lads" as the main part of its starting lineup?
I did not say that you piece of shit. Don't @ me I'm not concerned with you now.
>bigger than any club in your shit country
Spain is a nice country, and La Liga is a very popular league, but you're still a country half the size of Texas and La Liga as a whole has like 1/3 the revenue of MLB, forget about the NFL. Bilbao isn't bad or anything, but they're like the 5th biggest team in Spain. They're nowhere near the level of the Cowboys, Patriots, Yankees, Lakers, etc. .
thats racist nationality is the only thing that matters, ethnicity has nothing to do with the identity of a people, the teams represent nationality anyway asshole a black person can be chinese you fucking bigot diversity is our strength
4/10 bait
>he doesn't support da blades
thoughts are with you pal
Athletic Bilbao, literally only accepts people that are Basque or Basque descent. It's the most based team of Spain as well.
You may like fifa world cup. Exactly what you describe
Go outside and play some footy with the lads nigel :^)
>literally only accepts people that are Basque or Basque descent.
Not entirely true. If you're born in Basque land you can also play for Athletic Bilbao.
>Has a nigger in it
Why do you fucks hate capitalism
Soccer is shit and soccer fans are human waste.
What the fuck do I care were somebody is from I just want to see good footy
People like you don't understand that the problem English football went through isn't clubs not playing enough English players, it's that England wasn't producing enough good players. Whenever an English player has a sniff of talent they are always played, it's a lack of numbers not opportunities.
That looks to be changing a bit now anyway, lots of talented young English players breaking through at the minute, it will be interesting to see how their careers go.
The solution isn't quotas forcing players to use English players, it's always about improving grassroots coaching and football to produce a higher number of talented players.
*throws a werther's orginal at your head*
keep the change gramps
>t.
Just go to your local ground and you can watch fat cunts from the same housing estate as you kick each other around the field
The league of Ireland is pretty comfy
Competition demands quality. Protectionism would create a noncompetitive racket for homegrown players in every league in Europe. You'd just end up with very well paid mediocrities who don't need to push themselves very hard because they're guaranteed a lucrative contract at the top level by virtue of their nationality.
English players will never be as good as every other country put together no matter how much we invest in grassroots, numbskull. That's completely unrealistic.
The issue is that introducing quotas quite obviously means everyone is going to get worse since, as you said, there are only so many good English players. Championship players would all of a sudden be in demand from Premier League teams, and they wouldn't suddenly get better.
Is it worth it? Well that depends, personally I'd like it but I don't support a big team, nor am I foreign. Plenty who do and are would say it's an unnecessary constraint upon teams that are currently among the best in the world.
If you could roll it out Europe-wide that would be ideal, since those teams will, I think, go on being the best regardless and it would mean continental competitions aren't just "whoever makes quotas loses".
Do players at Mid-Table Premier League clubs not try as it is? Of course they do, because they want to go further, even though they are already very well paid. There is always the desire to go further except for a few players with truly shit mentalities. The issue you're describing is extremely rare.
The top players will always end up at top clubs. In countries like Germany, Spain and The Netherlands it will be much less of a problem, they would in fact become more competitive.
If the pool of players you're competing against gets dramatically smaller, the level of quality you need to reach in order to succeed gets lower, which leads to players hitting a plateau in their development much earlier. It's nothing to do with those players not wanting to apply themselves, it's that the bar drops naturally when you reduce competition. This is basic economic theory and if you've ever played sports to even a moderately competitive level you'll know that your development is largely dictated by the demands of the level you're playing at.
The 10th best English right-back has to compete against the best right-backs in the world to start in the Premier League right now. Under these new rules his pool of competitors shrinks dramatically - the level he has to play at in order to start in the Premier League necessarily becomes lower. With less competitive pressure he's more likely to plateau at a lower level. Apply this across the board and you have a league that rewards mediocrity.
There's a reason no top league in Europe would countenance adopting such a measure unilaterally - they're well aware that they'd take a significant competitive hit that would get worse over time as new generations emerge in increasingly noncompetitive environments.
no
I'm pretty sure nearly 100% of football players are from the USA. There might be some Canadians here and there but the patriots for example are American
Wait nvm my bad I misread the question. Do you mean foreign in relation to you? I don't think any football players are from England, wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland. Honestly seems weird you'd be concerned or surprised by that? Hang in there buddy.
I don't care at all actually
Yeah that seems more natural. I'm surprised the one London game per season has brought out such strong emotions for football over there but it's definitely cool to see, if not concerning
I really don't care, I support the club not the city
nobodies taking your shit bait. Here's a pity (you) for your troubles my guy
The FA would never implement this, that's right. That's why UEFA needs to enforce it for all European leagues.
I'm not advocating a total ban on foreign players. The quality of foreign players will on average be higher under this system because clubs have to be more selective. Often foreign players stand in the way of development of domestic players. Clubs would rather buy a player that has shown his skill in a foreign league than play a youngster with potential. If they actually get the chance they can become better than the import player. Look at Harry Kane who only got a chance after a string of injuries. With clubs being forced to focus more on domestic players more quality youth will come trough. The requirements for playing at the top teams will still be that you need to be world class, teams below that might have to deal with a loss in quality but a full back a mid table team buys from abroad won't be world class to start of with.
The champions league would become more interesting in the sense that smaller leagues will be able to hold on to their best players for longer and thus become more competitive and an English, French or Spanish club will actually at the core be English or French.
Argentine club football is not that attractive
Plus, our economy is going down the toilet. Even Bolivian players would be better off staying in their league.
Excuse me? Do you really need to curse?
>playing with actual frens
only if you are shit
take the juchepill fren
not one foreigner all honest hardworking gooks
it's all absentee fathers
Imagine carrying the name of a man who doesn't care you exist.
Imagine having them back in your life after you made it.
>american
Blacks arent american user, they're hardly even people. You sportsball losers couldn't get more cringey
>no matter what country
wrong
African Americans can trace their lineage in America further back then 90% of white Americans
This proves nothing. The founding fathers did not intend on the country becoming a nigger infested shithole
