Yes, that reason is money.

I don't think immigrants should play for national teams, this kills the whole purpose of national competition and I'm happy we have none on our team. But I'm against the process of destroying nations that's taking place in Europe in general.

I mean, look at this. I understand there is global warming, but this is just wrong.

I know the historical reasons, but still think this is humiliating, when you get teams with only 2-3 players who genuinely represent their nation. I wouldn't mind if it was one or two guys here or there, like you have in Italy for example. But when you barely have someone from your nation on the team? That's ridiculous. And don't pull that bullshit racism card. I'm complaining about black players and Arabs playing in European teams just like I'm complaining about half of Austrian team consisting of Yugoslavian players. It's not about race, it's about nation. It just happens so, that European nations are nations of white people, but by no means am I limiting this rant just to different races

PS. Don't generalize, not all white nations were involved in colonization and slavery, so putting the blame for that on all white people is unjustified.

PPS. GO IRELAND!! Take yet another favourite down.

Well, the thing is that France used to have many colonies once upon a time, so African countries were a part of France. The French language was made official in those countries, so the black people who moved to Europe went to France first and foremost. If an African country belonged to France, it technically is France. And when children of the black people who moved to Europe were born in France, how could they be anything other than French? All that's left as a counter-argument is to be a racist.

You can also look at this situation from another angle. If black people are so bad, then European countries shouldn't have brought African countries under their government. This means that the root cause for having so many black people in Europe is Europe itself. It means that what you don't like is the fault of white people. But I don't think when you say "this is just wrong" that you are putting any blame on white people.

You are of course right about the colonies, but the problem is when you encourage allowing foreign born players instead of trying to restrict it.

And of course it's the fault of white people. It's wrong and it's the white Europeans who are doing it wrong.

So you think Marcel Desailly that went to France when he was 3 years old shouldn't have played for France? You want them to create second class citizens?

With the French team, yes, because they always end up with this "foreign legion" they should have a rule that you have to be born in France.

I think there are some national teams in the world that still follow that rule.

It's got nothing to do with racism. I love all African teams playing in the World Cup, and I hate when European teams are importing players from neighboring countries. A good example, often the teams from the British Isleas don't feel genuine because there's such a mix of people between Wasles, England, Ireland and whatnot.
