PARTY ON!!!
Zidane (Algeria)
Trezeguet (Argentina)
Vieira (Senegal)
Djorkaeff (Poland/Armenia)
Karembeu (New Caledonia)
Makelele (DR Congo)
Henry (Guadeloupe)
Thuram (Guadeloupe)
Desailly (Ghana)
not to mention some others. About 10 of the current Dutch squad were born in Surinam. Re: England, AFAIK only Owen Hargreaves was born outside of England, let alone the UK.

Don't apologise!!
Argue that there is not a direct causal relationship between spending on sport and failing health. For example, the government spends a lot of money on a lot of things which could also be said to be depriving health e.g. Iraq, advertising, foriegn aid, etc.
