The 34-year-old says that after he made his move to Old Trafford from Leeds back in 2002, he discovered there is greater interest in the Red Devils than in the national team
Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand claims that the club is bigger than the England national team.
Talk about patriotism
I think most people put there club teams before the national team especially in england because they suck, they are years behind, spain, italy, germany in terms of talent and technique.
Its because they don't care about playing for England is the reason behind England being crap. Its not like they didn't have the talent over the last 10 years or so.
Try being from Northern Ireland I put my Grandmother before the national team :D.
