[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 291166"] Hey hey hey hey. Hang on a moment here. Mocking players such as Mike Catt who put their [i][b]hearts and souls[/b][/i] into playing for [i]their[/i] country and lumping them in with drug cheats like Stevens not only is a tremendous insult to one of England's finest players in the past decade but also mocks countries like the United States and Canada. Nations whose entire national reason for existing is to be a place for accepting the world's huddled masses and turning them into something special. You look at the USA Eagles, men who clutch their hearts with pride and many of which were not born in the USA (such as a certain Zimbabwean-American winger) who every day thank god that they have the chance to give 220% for the country which gave them the chance to play and tell me what you've just said. You look those men in the eye and tell me what you've just said. This rule is nonsense but to call [i]every single person not born of the land for which they now play[/i] that they are nothing more than a souless, heartless mercenaries who are no better than hired thugs is nonsesnse as well.
