    The rules are wrong not the countries exploiting it.
    If Germany (for example!!) win a World Cup with 11 foreigners in their squad doesn't it cheapen the achievement, what has it proved?
    I just don't see the point in international football with the way the rules are openly exploited
    The Germans use non German born players.

    They do, but a least the players CHOSE to play for Germany instead of their own country, which is a little different.

    Williams for example was never given the choice, England never wanted him.
