The work Visas? Interesting, like I said I didn't know how much credibility to put into it but it seemed feasible with all of the foreign players on the team. Do you know this for fact?
Seems odd the league would have a rule restricting foreign players...seems kinda close minded if you ask me. If the most talented players are from other countries and they want to play let them play.
Most soccer leagues in the world have rules restricting the number of foreign players in the league. Some rules restrict the number of foreign players on the team and some other restrict the number of foreign players on the field.
