Some team called Aspire FC from Quatar is 3-0 up against United in the Premier Section with 10 mins to half time and their no. 9 has got a hat-trick and the Golden Boot wrapped up.

He looks AMAZING! Drame is the name.

Looks the type of striker we're crying out for! United aren't getting a look in here.

Here's a bit more about the Aspire Academy.

It seems they've been recruiting kids from predominately Africa. They're all under 17 atm, and by 2022, these current batch of kids will be at most 28, and so on. In all probability we could see a Qatar XI made of 11 players all born and raised in Africa. So don't be surprised if Ibrahim Drame is the star of the 2022 World Cup, not for his country of birth Senegal but Qatar.

Knowing the African footballers the lads are proably 25 or something now.

Are they going to have to introduce a "have to be BORN in the country you play for" rule into international football then? :roll:

They should at least demand a proven ancestral background. It is supposed to be a national team after all.
