You want European only immigration from a select few countries. That means that half our squads’ parents would never have been allowed to come here. So they either wouldn’t exist as their parents would never have met or they wouldn’t have been allowed to set foot in this country. That makes no sense. Are you sure you don't just make the teas in the office?

How would Raheem Sterling, our best player in the tournament so far, be able to play for England if his mum had never been able to immigrate from Jamaica?

I've already said my view is unrealistic....perhaps you aren't following. What I queried was the line, 'very few of the squad would even exist'. Let me explain this to you Dan. People are the result of two genetic lines. Those people are not required to be in England for a child to be born. Your point seems to be more a simplistic stance on fate and existentialism than anything else....not that I think you consider those things. Also I don't think I've never advocated for a ban on non Europeans ever setting foot in the country.....you just make hay with your assumptions. Edited by Stirlingsays (08 Jul 2021 11.05pm)

Edited by Stirlingsays (08 Jul 2021 11.05pm) I don’t think you really truly know what it is you actually want. You’ve been so consumed with online right wing rhetoric your brain is muddled into thinking it wants some sort of old nostalgic England but not sure what that actually is. And you’ve been left behind in a world that constantly adapts, changes and thrives with the times. This England team *is* England. Embrace it; it’s a lot of fun.

Whataboutery. And I posted it because it's a particularly powerful image, given the current situation with the England players taking the knee for racial equality and I'm very proud of being a black Englishman. I thought blacks being proud of being part of this nation, was a big positive, no?

I think what's more true is that you find it hard to understand different perspectives so you choose to demonise them instead. You think you like diversity but you want everyone to feel the same about a society that you aren't actually living in Mr Essex. You aren't that interested in the reality of your ideas and their outcomes you're far more interested in the dream.

Serious question if you care to take it on. Do you remember in the 80s when the West Indies ruled cricket? There was a news item on the BBC asking why their pace bowlers were so lethal and one suggestion was that West Indians had thin pelvises, which gave them more body flexibility.
