OzzieMandias Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 So, there is the other angle of the Dutch and French players born in former colonies....They should be made to play for the colony if they were born there, it makes if fairer and smaller nations become more competitive. Aye but at the time Guadeloupe and New Caledonia weren't allowed into FIFA, being technically regions of a country rather than seperate nations alltogether. Didn't know that but anyway if you give the Germans an inch..... As a sign of Germany becoming more comfortable as a multicultural society, it is most definitely A Good Thing.

Parky Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 If I was a footballer, and happened to have been born in Sweden and my parents would have stayed there for a few weeks after the birth before going back to Norway, and I'd then proceed to live my entire life in Norway... I'd never represent Sweden if offered, even if I could never play for Norway because of the way Parky wants football to be. It's an idiotic viewpoint. Nobody is really intersted who plays for Norway and Sweden mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know that but anyway if you give the Germans an inch..... ...and they will take a mile blah blah. I just don't see the problem with the German team though. It's only Cacau that annoys me because he's playing for Germany as he wasn't good enough for Brazil. The rest of them are as German as the German born players. When players start being recruited late in life to gain an advantage that's when it becomes wrong, for example Qatar tried to pay one of their African players in their league a hefty amount of money to change his passport. Thankfully he had the honour to turn it down and he played for Kenya instead, but then there's South Americans there who see it as a new oppurtunity.

You are suggesting that people aren't allowed to represent their country because they weren't born in it. Which is a nazi-Germany way of thinking I'd have hoped most of the world would lose after 1945, but then there's still people out there thinking like you, and it makes me angry to see how ignorant some people are.

Nobody Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 If I somehow overnight became a terrific footballer (I'm still hoping...), I would probably prefer to be able to play for England, even though I'm born and lived all my life in Sweden. It's where my "football blood" is from, and that's what I would want to represent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
