    this is interesting about our Riyad'd homeland

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football..._the_day&ns_source=facebook&ns_linkname=sport

    A way of strengthening the national side?

    I don't know if anyone follows the LcFc FB page which was overrun by Algerian Mahrez fans, personally I stopped looking at it as it got boring. It's interesting that any article not about Mahrez got accusations of racism against him due to being Algerian. Well this seems to be exactly that banning players from their country...

    Dunno about racism - is just an extreme version of what we want happening here in that we want less foreign players so the national team won't be so ****e.

    Will be interesting if it affect Mahrez as he might be considered foreign as he was born in France.

    I agree not racism, just made me smile when compared with Algerians on the LCFC FB page. One of the comments in the article was interesting actually as it questioned French born players playing for their national side but at the end of the day he is still Algerian by blood.
    Agreed it would have benefits here but probably is extreme

    Less foreign players won't help the England team, we've got good players but if the Manager is an arse & doesn't select them.....
