What you propose is in direct contrast to the free market and making a living. It's downright unAmerican.........
do you think those who play for national teams are selected from street or what? they are selected from the local clubs, if local club stop using local talents and stop finding new face soon there will be no new resources to put in commission for national team and nobody will put his time exclusively on a national team because as i said its not a fixed job its seasonal, also there is no national team which has a permanent timetable. you may say they're also selected from foreign clubs but majority of players start their career from local clubs then move.
for now you may think there is enough local players to choose from but once they loss their edge and youth who do you think national team will select from and clubs dont hire/train them any more.
i know what you mean for Example my cities team Guadalajara FC is the only team in
Mexico that has only Mexican nationals ,but i think if all teams did this it would take away from the beauty of the sport i can´t picture Barcelona playing at the level they do with oot any of the non spanish team members or any team for that matter
again, i didnt say to play with locals only all am saying is to give hidden talents a chance to show up.
sport was a beauty, now days its all about the Benjamin's, they dont want to represent any1, way or other they want to win to cash in more.
