Kaizero Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 for me, to extend a point. Born in Spain, German mother, English father. Lived in France most of their life. Plays for Spain, Germany, or England. Spain or England. I think the father counts more in this instance than where you happen to live, but I can see this is a tricky one. What the fuck? How does the father count more than the mother? They both made the kid? Where does the sperm come from? Where does the egg come from? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Parky has gone nuclear. Mental man. Fifa should just leave it to me like. Seriously though, all jokes aside, are you serious that the nationality should be the father's side only, and not the mother's? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, all jokes aside, are you serious that the nationality should be the father's side only, and not the mother's? Not really silly. But say for instance you want to live in France all your life and you get ciitizenship and you moved to France when you were 3 or something then France should be an option.

He clearly doesn't hence the crying when he scores against Poland and the not singing of the German national anthem. My point of contact with this issue is that wherever possible and notwithstanding extreme circumstances the player should play for the country he's born in or failing that the country both his or one of his parents are from or the country that gives him his first passport. I would like national identities wherever possible preserved as part of the spirit of international football. I don't really think that is an extreme position. IMO the romanticism of internation sport goes hand in hand with identity. I think the spirit of the game will be devalued if there is a free for all for the good players on where they may play, much in the way that money and greed has all but destroyed the spectacle of the PL. Actually are Norway in the EU? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too think International teams should be International teams, and that people should play for the country they love the most and identify with rather than the one with the biggest opportunities. But a rule that wouldn't let people like Klose play for Germany would not be beneficial in the sense that it punishes the ones that actually wants to bleed for a country because there's a few fuckers here and there that are International glory hunters. The players should have the right to choose, but you can't control whether they choose based on feelings or opportunity. It's players like Cacau that are the problem, not people like Klose/Podolski.

I've clearly said from the get go that I only think people who've lived in a country almost their whole life, and identify with that country should be able to represent that country.

That's representing heritage, I have no qualms with that as long as it's the parent generation, not the grandparent. Of course there are different degrees to it, and if he only chose Ukraine because he'd never be good enough for England I'd not be for it, but you can't control, or know, that.
