Sporting, like most of the Superliga clubs, have padded out their squad with journeymen Brazilians who flock to Portugal in their thousands, because of the language, and because most of them can summon up a relative from the old country to bypass EU registration bureaucracy. They have been fortunate to have unearthed one of the best of the bunch in 27-year-old forward Liedson, whose fifteen goals this season have kept Sporting up with the leading pack

Even football has been ruined by the EU. Portugal looks to Brazil to bypass EU bureaucracy.

In the meantime the premier league is the opposite. We get all the Journeymen Europeans, with a smattering of real talent for the rich clubs. It must be very hard for the England manager to pick a team now. Beckham has been poor for a couple of years now, but who do we have to replace him!

How do our Kids get a chance to play, when the league is packed out with journeymen from abroad? I dispair, I really do! :cry:
