Fans can root for mercenary teams when they're not actually from that country. I'm kind of the opposite, though. I root for English players being in the top EPL sides. I like the fact that Arsenal have a pretty strong British core in their squad rotation.

He's giving himself some buffer time so he can come in here and get back behind the "BR Revolution" after ending every ES Soccer Thread post with "RODGERS OUT!" for 3 months, in the hopes that we'll all forget his reckless change of stance.
