Correct, they are. However, whenever one of them fails to score a penalty or makes a mistake their heritage is used against them. Also, I’ve seen countless accounts on here saying they shouldn’t be allowed to play for England. This attitude is fed by anti-immigration rhetoric.
I am an immigrant to the UK.
I am not an illegal immigrant.

In fact, weren’t most of them born in the UK?
Maybe all?

They are as British as any white Briton!
