While watching [ok after finishing celebrating] the WC Qualifier; I thought some of those Bahrani players are quite useful and could probably make a decent fist of playing in the lower leagues in the UK and elsewhere in Europe [like 2 of them do I understand]. Most are playing in the Gulf and probably on pretty good money.
Does anyone else think they would have a better shot at qualifying if they had more players playing outside of the Middle East? The same probably goes for the other ME teams like Saudi, etc.
