We attract the best players and managers from around the world but don’t do the same for refs. Then we wonder why the officiating is much worse than the quality of players and coaches. The quality of the playing would be way worse without foreigners and quality of refereeing would improve with foreigners.
Agree or disagree?
Americans get a lot of unnecessary derision because they insist on calling football ‘soccer’ etc so I wouldn’t want to exclude Americans. But it has to be on merit otherwise what’s the point?
The point of my post is that arbitrarily limiting a position to those with a specific nationality, necessarily limits the quality of those in said position. So if an American is good enough sure, but if they’re not going to improve it then not a chance.
