Obviously it isn't, but I do think if, like CKR, you're born and live your entire life in one place until well into adulthood, you've not got a massive claim to be a different nationality altogether, especially when only one of your parents is from there.

You're right like. He was born in England but Turkish blood runs in his veins and he said he feels Turkish. He's Turkish. Simple as that. Aye, nowt to do with the potential reaction should he admit his level of Turkishness was pretty much on par with Fry's Turkish Delight. Obviously an Irish has to agree with this line of thinking, else his team would be hanging around with the Liechtensteins of this world. I think if your parents are from wherever you have a right to associate with that country if you wish to. Nothing to do with football like. I agree with that in principle, don't get me wrong, but it's absolutely crystal clear that in this instance he has just chosen to play for Turkey because it was his best chance at getting international football. That's fine, I'm just not going to pretend that I think Colin Richards is Turkish af. Instead you're going the complete opposite way simply cause he's lived in England longer. I guess in 20 years when I will have lived here in Finland longer than I lived in England and I possibly have an accent, I'll be able to call myself Finnish Were you born in Finland, like CKR was born in England? If so then yes, you'll be Finnish. You are already in fact. This reminds me of when I said we'd had X amount of English players in our team on a particular day, and people argued blind that Dummett isn't English, he's Welsh, which he clearly absolutely is not.

Sir Bobby's got Yilmaz of Turkey.

Nice one, thanks chopey. I'll update the list in full later on.

Can't believe it, everyone managed to avoid the Albanian and the Romanian then you picked them both. They play each other so you never know, they might play out a 4-3 with one of your boys smashing a hat trick.

No worries, what numbers would you like?

Imagine spending your time putting that together.

51's fine, Jayson's picked 81 a few posts up (sorry I've not updated the OP with his yet), can you choose another? 61 then?

You've got the 4th favourite.

Berg scored 5 in the last league game of the season. You just wait until he's unleashed against them Irish.
-
3 won last Euros, though there was one round less. That's why I like doing it, you could have a journeyman play a blinder in a dead rubber group game and win (as happened in WC94).

This commentator's absolutely hopeless.

Hardest I've ever seen Dyer kick a ball.

Defoe man. ROTW should have asked Marco Reus if he was doing anything.

The mackems will be fucking buzzing. "Proof Hodgson got it wrong" Where's that picture of them celebrating?

Got your money mate, what's your numbers? The ones left are in the first post.

One poster on here (captainhaircut possibly) swears blind that Taylor was an avid Boro fan at school.

Pencilled you in.
