What about 'Hernandez' for France, or the Russian Mario Fernandez? How many foreigners play for Spain or Portugal?

Pepe (Brazil), Adrien Silva (France), Diego Costa (Brazil), Rodrigo (Brazil).

Japan has had a Brazilian or two over the years.

I could go on and on.

Its the nature of the game, especially in Europe. People like to point their fingers at Germany, but as one of the countries in Europe that accept a large number of immigrants its bound to happen, thats just basic demographics.

Similarly with Switzerland and various other countries.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
