How To Help England Soccer
Stop foreign players like Balloteli and Suarez playing for English clubs, surely?
Answers
I don't think it would help that much, really. In the first place this isn't exactly a problem unique to the English Premier League. A glance at the squad of Bayern Munich, German Bundesliga champions, and while it's mainly German some of the star players are Franck Ribery (France), Arjen Robben ( Netherlands) and Mandzukic of Croatia; while Real Madrid's...

The terms 'play for' and 'represent' aren't synonymous.
Suarez has a particular talent which means that he can be highly paid but only during a fairly short career. To secure his future, it makes sense for him to simply 'play for' whichever club will pay him the most money.
However, if he had the right to choose between 'representing' different national teams (which he doesn't anyway), it has nothing to do with money. He would logically choose to represent the country where he was born, where he was brought up and where most of his family and friends still live.

Alot of International players get ridiculous salaries. I don't think its linked to that.
There's far less of a football culture in this country. Football in this country is very much regimented into formal training such as in school or for a 'proper' team. From my memory school football sessions was very cliquey and if your face didnt fit you were chosen last. I was quite good in goal but never got to play there as it was the chosen position of a few more 'socially adept' children. You don't see kids honing skills in the streets or parks with mates like you do other countries.
I remember being out on the balcony of a hotel in Tenerife and there was a young girl kicking a ball around in her back yard on her own. Unbeleivable skill and ball control; bouncing it off the wall, catching it on the volley. You don't get that running round cones on a Saturday morning. We're too unimaginative.

>>>Stop foreign players like Balloteli and Suarez playing for English clubs,
That would be like stopping foreign actors coming over here to appear in plays and films and TV shows.
The UK gains a lot by having foreign actors coming here to appear in films and so on made in the UK, like Harrison Ford coming here to appear in the Star Wars film they are currently making in the UK.
