i have received a promotional email from italian betting site, very bad for the italian soccer...
"Inter-Milan , bet 11 euro and if one player of the match is an italian player, you received 11 euro of bonus" and down of the page the petition for all team for used more italian player
Off topic but I read something similar earlier, Man Utd are playing Liverpool on Saturday & for the first time in like 30 years or something like that there will be 0 players who were born & grew up in their teams city (eg Gerrard, Carragher, Giggs, Scholes etc).
It's just the way football is going these days, owners & fans want instant results & unfortunately that means young local lads don't really get a chance any more. It's all about wanting results NOW so expensive foreigners are signed.
