![]() Well, when all the best players immediately go and play for rich countries, I'll congratulate you on having got your wish.
When Ghana and Paraguay can no longer hope to reach quarter-finals, giving their citizens the kind of street-joy that we saw in those countries two years ago, then I'll congratulate you on having got your wish. In short, when international football becomes like club football, then I'll congratulate you on having got your wish. Until then, I'll enjoy it the way it is.

At any rate an immigrant is someone who comes to stay, legal status notwithstanding. Quote:
"Illegal immigrant" is a made up pejorative and its use denotes either ignorance or racism.

![]() I don't think anyone on this forum is racist. There is pervasive ignorance toward the correct (legally meaningful) terms with regards to immigration. It's certainly not limited to this forum.

There are exceptions, of course, but, as you say, the vast majority are from the country that they represent. Long may that continue!

![]() In the grander scheme of things, it doesn't matter really one iota. However, if the goal is to have some just-for-fun representation of a given nation, it only makes sense to have the entire team be permanent residents.
Otherwise it's just international club soccer, which already exists, so what's the point?

Race doesn't come into it - having grown up somewhere does. And as you say, we've already got international club football.

![]() Yes, exactly - but they've grown up in France.
So anyone who calls our view on this racist, is talking rubbish.
