Chelsea's Champions League match brought up some intersting points:
Grame Souness said "The reaction of the Chelsea players on the challenge on Oscar is something we can do without. I find it totally unacceptable. That's how pathetic it is." Also commenting that this is creeping more and more into the British game.
How many players in the Chelsea team were from Britain, or more accurately England? What do we expect, a group of forign players to take on the English mentality of winning a match? Do we want to have our cake and eat it?
David Luiz has made a public appoligy for his goal celebration; why? What do supporters expect of hired talent?
What part of the community do our football team represent? Who do we identify with the players, manager or the chairman (local boy made good)?
Chelsea could be and are just an example of many other clubs. As Paul Kingsnorth wrote in his book Real England "we are told we are part of a larger global identy, connected to everything and belonging to know where."
