don't try to make my poison sweeter.... Anyway I live next to Rome, so I should take for other football teams not for Milan but when I was a child I heard through the radio Milan winning the champion league against Manchester and I became a Milan supporter. Doesn't matter who plays in, we live in an globalized planet, the only thing that matters today is to reach the final goal!!! :-)

>Yeah - you got it right. Don't think though that I'm as happy about the championship as I was some 20 years ago, when a good proportion of the Liverpool team often comprised the England team (and those that didn't were generally Scots, Irish or Welsh!), and of the team, many of them were from Liverpool or nearby.

>This time, of the 14 players, only 2 were actually English, but at least those 2 ARE from Liverpool (even if Gerrard was an Everton supporter), and DID score. Back in the day I was so proud of my city, and the management, although generally Scottish, was bred in-house, as the "children" of Bill Shankley. Now it's like "Didn't a bunch of foreigners do well for us". We even rely on French managers.

>I think at least Milan comprises mainly Italian players (how many I'm not sure). Why can't England produce teams of Englishmen (or at least Britons) anymore?
