Is this what football is coming to? Players not being picked for their country because the sponsors have more influence than the manager?

It is a commonly held belief that Ronaldo should never have taken part in the 98 world Cup Final v France but did so because of massive pressure from Nike who sponsored him in particular and the squad in general. Ronaldo had a mare, Brazil had a mare. The rest as they say, is history. sick

International football though is an absolute joke. Klinsman should hang his head low. Title: German's in football boot row Post by: reeves4england on Thursday, May 5, 2005, 21:04:55 :oops:
