Anyone who knows anything about football knows that English football boasts some of the most talented players in the world, bar none. As a matter of fact, whether this is a good omen or not, English football has attracted investors outside of England for some time now. Rich club owners come from Russia, the U.S. and even the Middle East due to the popularity of the game and the talent pool England has to offer.

The Premier League has seen English clubs in the finals as of late including Manchester United as the winner in 2008 as well the same club has entered as a finalist in the 2009 season only to be beat by the formidable Barcelona FC club. Football is arguably the most popular sport worldwide and the English Premier League football clubs tend to rank highly among the semi-finalists.

There are teams that sometime scrape by due to knockout games but England is either there in the finals (as of late) or are certainly there to make the competition nervous. Some will argue that English clubs aren’t as fancy-footed or create the most exciting goals but every team in Europe knows that when an English club enters the foray, they will have to earn every goal in order to win the Champions League. At the risk of sounding biased but it’s not uncommon to see an English club at least in the sem-finals if not the finals.

Since English Premier League football attracts some of the richest owners in the world it’s no wonder certain teams can produce the winning records they do. With money behind a club they can pay for the best players in the world and even though there is criticism of player salaries, at the end of the day it’s the passion of each player to help their team to victory that determines the fate of any club, English or otherwise.

When it comes to English football clubs there is sentiment that most are in favour of at least 4 players are actually English. This is a good rule because in today’s sport, there are multi-billionaire owners who are more interested winning than in promoting the fact that the winning club is mainly English. See, in American football there aren’t too many clubs (or teams) that hail from outside the U.S. Why? Well, the tradition is most players start off in college football and make a name for themselves in order to be drafted into the NFL (National Football League). In England it’s quite different and even though some players can be recruited as a tender teenager, many are “bought” from other countries or European clubs.

At the end of the day, the main difference is that English football clubs would prefer to see players from their own country. That doesn’t mean if a Spanish player is traded to an English club that they won’t be accepted with open arms but to understand football is to realise that fans absolutely love to back their hometown hero. The World Cup is a classic example of the patriotic fervor a people have toward their team. This is only emboldened even more so when a player from the local community plays for the team of that city and goes on to play at an exceptional level.

English football clubs are in favour of the rule that fosters the home grown player and we think that’s a good rule. People are proud where they come from and in many ways sports personalities that achieve great success are in their own way ambassadors for not only the sport in which they excel but also for their country.
