give a player a pass from rival fans ?
When the World Cup comes in June, would you be more interested in watching England because of your club players or because of National Pride, would you also cheer if Rooney scores a hat-trick then Sturridge if your a Liverpool fan ?
I have watched England for the last few years when we had no players in the team from Arsenal and I know that probably a minimum of 80 teams in the PL/League do not have players in the England squad.
I remember a few W/C ago when Sol Campbell scored that header v Argentina....Even though he was a Sp.ud at the time I jumped for joy then swore at the TV when it was disallowed..........(maybe I knew he was a Gooner at heart...)
But I must admit I am more interested if Wilshere, Walcott, Gibbs, Jenks and the OX play.
Now Southampton have a few players do Southhampton fans take more notice then previous ?
National Pride does take over especially in the WC and the Euro's but if you knew that no Man U players are in the team would Man U fans still take interest in the game ? Would you still cheer on Sturridge or Gerrard ?
Personally I prefer club then National games except the W/C or Euro's but I am also happy (bar injuries) that Wilshere, Ox and possibly Gibbs will be in the England squad....a shame about Walcott though........But if Rooney does score a winner I would be over the moon but would secretly hoping its an Arsenal player that gets the glory.
Also do us Arsenal fans cheer on Cole because he is in a England shirt ?, do Everton fans cheer on Rooney ?. Did Sp.uds cheer Sol if he did a last minute saving tackle ??? or do you still think....bloody traitor ? does putting an England shirt make you forget the hate or disrespect you had for the player ?
COYG and COYE.....(thats England not Everton.....as hope they lose this weekend)

Tbh I think with arsenal and Liverpool holding a lot of top class English player we need to create an eleven predominantly with their players.
Works for Spain with real and barca
Of course pool and arsenal are not the best two clubs in the country but in terms of playing style and chemistry these players would be the best choice
----------------------------------------------------------------------
really??
how would that work?
Barcelona and Real have spanish players to cover ever position, and im not talking average squad players.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GK
Flanagan CB CB Gibbs
Henderson Wilshere
Walcott Gerrard OX
Sturridge
quite simple really
spain play mostly barca/real but play some other players from other clubs who fill in the missing pieces. its not only real/barca but its predominantly them which is what we should be with pool and arsenal
think about it before assuming
----------------------------------------------------------------------
are you for feckin real
the difference is more or less every real or Barcelona player is either world class or not far off.
what youve given is a pretty average team who probably wouldnt even qualify for the finals in the first place
----------------------------------------------------------------------
nah the difference is that the other teams have chemistry while ours dont
plus they know what style of football they are playing. ours dont
yes they are world class players for spain but we are never going to be that good. we are a quarter final team at best. and yes there are 1 or 2 non real/barca players.
and that team may not be brilliant but it would play better football and an actual good style of football instead of this slow BS

it doesnt matter what team you put out, if you have a negative manager then it wont make any difference if the starting 11 are chosen from 2 teams or not.

You're talking bollox
There were 5 Liverpool players last night and we still looked like strangers. Whether those 5 players play with 5 Arsenal players or 1 player from 5 different teams would make no difference whatsoever
I actually can't think of an Arsenal player that should be starting in Brazil tbh

Ahhh look, the local pedant is here.
100+ comments where people overlooked it as they were smart enough to understand the op. One bloke has to ruin it otherwise.

If you like....just thought if you are going to post something - at least make sense with it, - that is gobbledegook in any language
I did get it, about five posts down - I have two tattoos one Chelsea, one England...support both irrespective of who is playing..
