With all due respect, is this your first foray into the world of international football?
Neither. It just hadn't occured to me that an English person, born in England and raised in England, should play for another nation 3,000 miles away.
Maybe he's getting him mixed up with Mervyn King, the Governor of the Bank of England.
He's English, eligible and available I believe.
On what basis??? He was born and bred in England, so how does he qualify for a nation thousands of miles away? Shouldn't matter where your parents come from, on that logic Mo Farah would have to run for Somalia and not GB
John Barnes?
Owen Hargreaves?
Both of them born outside England - they shouldn't be playing for England either!!
The whole "nationality" thing in football is crap - you can't pick and choose who you want to play for based on your so-called "heritage" - King is English so he shouldn't qualify for any other country!!
Can't believe the piss-taking I am getting on here...do I live in a parallel universe, as only I think that the above statement is correct
so with your reasoning...people who are born while they are on holiday or people who are born while there parents are based abroad in the army or other jobs should play for the country they are born in / depending on the circumstances they will have dual nationallity. but they will still be english
Fucking hell, 5 pages of ridicule... It was a mistake. I think everyone else must live in a parallel universe if you've never said anything wrong in your lives!
Freddie Mercury should not be labelled the best singer Britain has ever witnessed because he was born in Zanzibar and brought up in India....... :facepalm: yet is in the BBC'S top 100 Britons list.... see where I'm going with this?
He shouldn't be because he never was.
Anyone can be anything they want to be, Tony Cascarino opted to play for Ireland for example lol

Can I be a Mexican? (I just lurve those beeg Sombreros!)
Yeah, and Cascarino wrote in his autobiography "I was a fake Irishman" and admitted he abused the lax rules and pretended to be a different nationality, just so he could play international football - the likes of him and Andy Townsend pretending to be Irish is priceless.
Cascarino believed his maternal grandfather was Irish, but his grandfather revealed on his deathbed that he was not his mother's real father.
I would rather play for somebody like Zambia or a country with the population of like 100. I might even be close to the best
My dad once got bitten by some wild bug type thing in Zambia, doing charity work (true story). Surely this means I qualify to play for them??
well its in your blood! :facepalm: I'll be here all week
does this mean Peter Parker could play for which ever country that spider that bit him came from?
youve got to reckon he would be pretty tasty in goal........
