Foreigners not root of problem

I find the debate often raised by Soccerzone on SABC 1, on the participation of foreign players in the PSL, preposterous and at worst xenophobic.

I find the debate often raised by Soccerzone on SABC 1, on the participation of foreign players in the PSL, preposterous and at worst xenophobic.

They argue that the fewer foreign players, the better the PSL will be, and that if the PSL uses only local players, it will benefit the national team.

Advocates of the latter view refer to England as an example of a national team that is suffering because of the domination by foreign talent. I don't think England are doing badly in world football.
