Very unacceptable, and ridiculous over representation of blacks in many of the countries.

Football teams should be 100% (or great majority) of ethnic nationals, so people from each nation could feel fully identified with their national teams.

Australia (I assume, as I don't follow football anymore or know all the players backgrounds):

15 Anglo-Celtic: Ryan, Atkinson, Rowles, Boyle, Leckie, Wright, Redmayne, McGree, Duke, Devlin, Souttar, Irvine, Goodwin, King, Cummings
4 Black Africans: Mabil, Deng, Kuol, Baccus
2 Serbian: Degenek, Vukovic
1 Croatian: Karacic
1 Bosnian-Romanain: Hrustic
1 Dutch: Mooy
1 Turk: Behich
1 Scottish-Maltese: Maclaren

4 Blacks is a lot for Australia. When I was a fan the team was usually just an even mix of Anglo's and Wogs, with lots of Croatians.

Based on that, the Aussie football team is actually whiter than the rugby union team, which has a lot of Pacific Islander and Aboriginal players.

Also more European than most European teams by the looks of it.

They (Abo's and Polynesians) don't play Soccer, and junior soccer is increasingly expensive.

"Well nee joh. Ik kom uit Heiloo, speelde bij de Foresters, voor ik de overstap overmaakte naar Ajax. Nederlandser kan bijna niet."

Translated: "Well no dude. I come from Heiloo, played with the Foresters, before I transferred to Ajax. You can hardly get more Dutch."
