this is another reason i'm against it on general principle. call me paranoid, but i've always believed that the rest of Europe has some kind of grudge against English club football particularly, and will do whatever it takes to stop its domination.
i mean, Beckenbauer has the temerity to say that the reason England didn't qualify for the Euros is because of the number of foreigners in the club game. surely he's old enough to remember English clubs dominating Europe in the late 60s, through the seventies and early eighties, when the majority of domestic teams fielded largely an English contingent. was England a powerhouse then?
no, there's something fishy, and Blatter, the Anglophobic cunt, is at the heart of it.
