I think city 1st is trying to say that international football is NOT football in its purist form just like marsala,being invented in England, is not indian in its purist form.

Well obviously I get that but it doesn''t really stand up as a comparison.

International football is a lot less influenced by money than club football. Money will still make a difference of course but it is less obvious and therefore, only in my opinion of course, more pure. You''re much less likely to get a situation like you have at Man City or Chelsea in the international game as the rewards for success are not so great.
