Football / Black vs. White.... The English Saga
« on: September 05, 2009, 03:00:45 PM »
As I watched the England vs. Slovenia Friendly today I was surprised to see so many individuals of color in the line up.
Lets be honest with ourselves, in the past to make the English senior team and not be white meant that you possessed tremendous skill. I was surprised to see nine, yes 9 men of color in the line up.
My question would be, if the Caucasian English footballers were to play the Colored English footballers who would posses the better line up and also suggest a line up for either team.
My suggest line ups are:
Caucasian
GK Paul Robinson
Jason Terry
Wayne Bridge
Matthew Upson
Gary Neville
Steven Gerrard
Frank Lampard
Wayne Bridge
Michael Carrick
Wayne Rooney
Peter Crouch
Colored
GK Davis James
Wes Brown
Ashley Cole
Joleon Lescott
Glen Johnson
Shaun Wright-Phillips
Ashley Young
Theo Walcott
Aaron Lennon
Emile Heskey
Jermaine Defoe
