da cassino： After England’s disappointing World Cup campaign many have been discussing the problems with English football from grass-roots up and how the FA need a long term plan to turn the national side’s fortunes around.
In the short term should the likes of Fabio Capello take a leaf out of Germany’s book and select foreign players in the squad who qualify as a British citizen?
In the German national team they boast many different nationalities in their squad such as Poland, Turkey, Bosnia, Brazil and Ghana.
It’s not just Germany who do this as either as Spain and Portugal have both fielded players of Brazilian decent in their squads recently by picking Marcos Senna and Deco respectively.
Also, both the England cricket and rugby teams have benefitted from selecting players from South Africa and New Zealand. Recently England won their Twenty20 tournament in the West Indies, with South African born Kevin Pietersen being voted the man of the tournament.
Perhaps it is something Capello should bear in mind as it could solve a few tactical headaches for the England boss, with Everton’s Mikel Arteta and Wigan’s Charles N’Zogbia being the best prospects of foreign decent who could be eligible to play for the Three Lions.
Arteta has always maintained that he would only play for his native Spain, but he isn’t likely to be selected for his national side considering he is behind the likes of Xavi Hernandez, Xabi Alonso, Cesc Fabregas, Javi Martinez and Andres Iniesta.
As far as I am aware no England coach has ever tried to convince the Toffees man to play for England, who is to say his mind cannot be changed and could it be great to have him as England’s version of Mesut Ozil?
England have a real problem in the playmaker role, which is very important in top level football and creative players like Xavi, Ozil, Kaka, Wesley Sneijder etc make their respective sides more of a threat with their ability to unlock defences. Many have argued that Joe Cole could potentially play this role for England, but the truth is that the Three Lions have struggled to produce a world-class passer of a ball or sufficient playmaker since Paul Scholes, who quit international football after being stuck out on the left.
Another player who England may look at is N’Zogbia, who has impressed during his time at the DW Stadium and could be worth a gamble as a left-footed player who isn’t afraid to take on a fullback or shoot from range (as he showed in the 3-2 victory against Arsenal last season). He could also provide competition for Manchester City’s Adam Johnson, a player who many expect will soon be breaking into the England reckoning.
These are just two players who could potentially make a difference, but there are many more talented young foreign players among the ranks of the Premier League football clubs who could be eligible to play for England in the future. Many other countries select the foreign talent they produce at club level for their national teams, so why can’t England?
What do the fans think, is selecting foreign talent something that England should be looking into?
