Guest Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 No idea if this has already been mentioned, but according to L'Equipe (might have been from UK based media originally but can't find any), Nigeria want to call up Onuoha & Wor Shola. http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/breves2009/20090904_174648_le-nigeria-en-approche-sur-onuoha.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Ok, if he played for Nigeria, he wouldn't be playing for us all of January. So he can piss off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikri Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'm certain that I read years ago when Shola was still a promising u21 player that he declared for England as he'd been approached to play for Nigeria at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can choose your nationality as long as you have never played an A-International (In a qualifier, friendlies do not count) match for one of your eligible nationalities iirc.

Surely a officially sanctioned event like Euro under 21's would count though? Just seems mad to be able to switch after it. Knew all about the friendly bit.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Ameobi? You all trying to give me nigthmares? I would love it if Onuoha played for the nation of his birth though. I rate him highly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
