The Norwegian National Football team have been dreadful for years now.
I have suggested that we should do as France.
Hand out citizenships to a couple of thousand young families from the Ivory Coast with the condition that their kids will be encouraged to play football at home.
Wait some years for results and Presto! We would have a great National team.

Our other option would be to claim Iceland as our territory and risk a war with Denmark. If successful, we could dress the Icelandic team in our colours and Presto! You know the rest...

Yes. We are desperate.

I would advise against claiming any Icelandic territory, they tend to get upset if anyone gets any closer than 200 miles from their shores especially if your in a long boat with a big net behind it.

Quoted from Abdul19
I remember the England glory days of 74, 78, 82, 88 and 92 etc when there was no foreigns.


Fair point and nicely made Abdul.

Those glory days were when we had a rather backward idea about how the game should be played, and clueless England managers
(Matt Le Tissier earned 8 caps because he didn't run around enough - the fact that he could score goals no team could prevent
being considered less important).

The point is there were many choices then....now if Kane, Rashford & Sturridge were to get injured who leads the attack?

I'm not one who thinks "if we get rid of the foreign players everything will be hunky-dory".....the game has been taken over by business
people & is being run as a business to suck as much money as possible out of the fans .

Football is now a business not a sport - and that's the root of its problems.
