"WAV -- now it all makes sense -- you're essentially an immigrant yourself. I've met lots of 'English' like yourself -- never quite one thing or another. It explains alot about your 'disney' image of 'Englishness'.
p.s. as an Englishman I'm happy for an Italian to get our team organized to beat Croatia in Zagreb 4-1, just as I was happy for a Swede to choose the team that beat Germany 5-1 at their place. The English are nothing if not pragmatic and through history we've been happy to have an anglo-american, a welshman, a dutchman, or a frenchman lead us -- as long as they're a winner." (Eric)...If someone is born in a country and they return to live there, then that person is a repat. - NOT an immigrant.
And if nationals are going to compete for other nations, why bother holding internationals?; and, if the manager is not important, why have a foreign manager?
