LOL.

I thought there was this whole Spanish Conquistadors thing that resulted in two cultures making an indelible mark on each other? Spain got a whole cuisine and vast swathes of South America got a language, Christianity and straw donkeys.


Oh well, our mistake. You are the cultural police.

Its ok to have a total guess be 100% inaccurate.

There will no no real ''competition" because no top striker would ever want to join us under current circumstances. Only up and coming, relatively unknown players who would be happy to be part of the team. That's how we made Julian Alvarez. No established player like that Leverkusen striker, Openda or Isak is joining us. These are football manager transfers. These guys would not want to be bench warmers.

Similar situation to the women's team with Bunny Shaw being the main striker. You can only really have someone happy with a squad role as "like for like" back up, but it's no good in the event your main player gets a long term injury as the drop off in quality is too much over a long period of time.

Only way of having truly world class cover is to have a top notch number 10 or similar who has plenty of goals in them and can step up when required. Same all over the pitch really. You need a few first team players who can play more than one position really well so that they can all cover each other.

It's similar culture in India and culture in UK?

The imperialist past does not make you look alike.

Peruvian people don't look anything like spanish people.

Jamaican people don"t look anything like english people.

Senegal people don't look anything like french people.

They are totally different behaviors and ways of life.

I’m only half way through Stuart Hall’s views on cultural identity and the African Diaspora. I’m also trying to decide if you are a racist, genius, or both. Can I get back to you in a few months?

Yes, I know what you read and listen: black people are very good and white people are very bad, bla bla bla.

But... south american culture and spanish culture are absolutely different. South american people and spanish people are absolutely different.

And japonese people and moroccan people are absolutely different. And an apple and a bicycle are absolutely different.

Welcome to the world: that place where difference is usual.
