Had he been english they would have treated him like Micheal Owen (scored more goals than Owen in the same world cup). As he was foreign he had to take what match scraps he could get.

It wasn't until this season the Chelsea and England really could be equated. For a while all they had were a few U21s and one or two others that did not get regular first-team England play. Last game Chelsea had four or five men in the squad.
So if Flo were English I don't think that would have made a significant English. As Chelsea dabbled heavily in the international market they were quite use to fielding players of other nationalities.
