[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 919607, member: 20605"] In case it has escaped your notice, Provinces are manufactured too, with arbitrary boundaries, its just that they were manufactured so long ago that they have become, traditional. As for the most successful domestic sports clubs in the world being built on "local" talent, well that is just complete rubbish. The most successful Football club in the world is probably Manchester United. How many of ManU's team were born in and grew up in Manchester? How many of them were even born in England!!? Same applies to Man City, Arsenal (the players did not grow up the the vicinity of Woolwich), Liverpool, Chelsea, Everton, Tottenham. Those teams are local in name only. [/QUOTE]
