p.s. PM... they're still showing the game :bandit:
I meant to ask this a while ago but I've been too busy . . . fortunately.
Any way . . . . I watched the latest Champions league game between the English champ and the German champ and when they were giving the starting lineups, the TV commentator mentioned that Manchester City would start with only one English player: Joe Hart, and that all the other 10 players were foreigners.
And I went; 'Wow!"
in my young days in Colombia as a football fan, our professional teams were only allowed two foreign players - and the foreign players were a big deal because they were expensive "stars' that joined your team. In those days our foreigner players were mostly, if not all of them from Argentina.
Any way, allowing only two foreign players was a good rule because it limited the amount of foreign players every team could have and it would also allow to foment and give a chance to our local crop, of which we were all so proud of.
But 10 out of towners??? (from another country that is) - Have rules changed that much? I googled and found that now in Colombia teams are allowed a max of 4 foreigners in their roster and 3 can be in the pitch at one time.
So Manchester City having a 10 to 1 ratio was a big surprise. Looks like marketing forces and quality of players is the norm in these cases.
I'm getting old.

The Liverpool squad in 1892 in the in the Lancashire League, fielded no Englishmen at all for a number of matches; that was 120 years ago.
That is quite surprising when City have some of Englands best players -Joleon Lescott, Micah Richards, James Milner, Jack Rodwell, Adam Johnson. None of them can get a game :(Quote:

I remember there was a match Chelsea played in Champions League a few years back with no English player in their team (it happened before the Chelski era)... but there was a even better one when Inter had no European player in the starting team :laugh:
And I remember a match when CFR Cluj had only a romanian player on the pitch....Quote:
