Looks like England are going to be the new France. The latest under 21 squad England squad has just 5 white outfield players out of 17, the rest black or mixed.
Frankie Fielding (Blackburn), Scott Loach (Watford); Ryan Bertrand (Reading), Kieran Gibbs (Arsenal), Michael Mancienne (Chelsea), Kyle Naughton (Tottenham), Micah Richards (Man City), James Tomkins (West Ham), Chris Smalling (Fulham); Lee Cattermole (Wigan), Fabien Delph (Aston Villa), Fabrice Muamba (Bolton), Jack Rodwell (Everton), Danny Rose (Tottenham); Andy Carroll (Newcastle), Freddie Sears (Crystal Palace), Junior Stanislas (West Ham), Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea), James Vaughan (Everton).
I went to school in England where there was quite a racial mix and there was no particular difference in abilities between the black or white players. Since then Ive played soccer with numerous people from many countries, black and white, and have come across great black players and great white players, terrible black players and terrible white players - in the same proportion. The question is then is why is the under 21 team 75% black? I really don't understand it.
