Good questions.And I can give you an easy answer. WHY WOULD YOU PUT A PLAYER THAT HASNT EVEN PLAYED FOR HIS CLUBS STARTING LINEUP YET? Its not about the age difference,Pele was great when he was young.Its just that he hasnt gotten any experience playing would class players.To those who think its a racist Issue have an Issue themselves.Football doesnt see colors,just talent.As far as the Ethnicity,If you are born in England,then you are English.hope these answers those questions for ya.

Football originated in Britain and the first 'internationals' were between the constituent countries of the United Kingdom. When football became international they carried on that way. Cricket has separate teams too. \n\nIncidentally the UK can't enter a football team for the Olympic Football event as England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland can't agree on forming a British team and so no team at all is sent for that competition
