Thanks, that actually makes perfect sense and probably accounts for how Nigeria and Cameroon won the gold medal in the Olympics, but couldn't come close to matching that performance at the world cup. It also likely helps explain why blacks are so overrepresented in the recruiting rankings in...

I've noticed these U21/23 teams are rarely reflective of the senior teams a couple years down the road, and tend to be way more overrepresented with minorities. Just check out the squads for the 2007 tournament...

I'm probably a unique case, but I grew up and still am a "die hard" fan of the Patriots. Sure I'm disappointed when they draft a black LB over a more deserving white one or cut Woodhead, but I've watched Belichick's behavior enough to know with complete certainty that he's the only NFL coach or...

Gameday did a cool feature earlier with Ben Gardner, Chase Thomas, Trent Murphy, and Shane Skov from Stanford. I always assumed Skov had some black in him, but he looked, and more interestingly, sounded very white. Anyone know his background? If I had to guess, I'd say some Pac Islander...

Amidon with a 24 yard TD run to go with his 85 yards and a TD receiving.

For anyone with CBS Sports Network, BC has been playing 11 whites on offense on about half their plays against Army, with freshman RB David Dudek making some big catches. Also look for Sean Sylvia playing CB on defense.

Amidon for BC already has 97 yards and a TD as BC leads Clemson 21-17. White CB Sean Sylvia also spectacularly intercepted Tahj Boyd.

Spencer Rositano picks off Miami's black qb!!

Chase Rettig and his white receivers absolutely picking apart Miami's secondary. Sean Sylvia is also starting at CB. 14-0 BC.

http://espn.go.com/blog/acc/post/_/id/42260/bc-backfield-takes-another-hit With leading rusher Rolanden Finch injured, white RB Mike Javorski received the most carries in the last scrimmage. I've never heard of him, and Andre Williams should be the starter, but maybe we'll see some of him off...

I think one of Walcott/Welbeck will start. IMO Carroll adds a lot more to the team, but Welbeck has played pretty well. It's rough because I agree that English success would signal more blacks in the squad, but at the same time, the talent pool is really shallow right now, and I can't think of...

Agreed on Carroll, although I thought Milner actually played very well despite his miss and would have been my man of the match for England.

He'd play Ashley Young's position, who'd most likely replace Oxlade-Chamberlain, unless he plays particularly well. Milner's miss won't help him though.

Last I heard, Walcott was projected into that spot, and he played there in the last friendly. In any case, this is by a large margin one of the most mediocre, least talented England teams in recent memory. I really don't think it reflects some seismic shift in the racial makeup of the team...

Oof, even worse than expected, England starting 5 whites and 6 blacks: Hart/Johnson Terry Lescott Cole/Milner Gerrard Parker Oxlade-Chamberlain/Young/Welbeck To be fair, 3 of the blacks are replacing injured whites, and I actually like starting the Ox over the awful Theo Walcott. For me...
