How the **** is she English when she was born in Scotland, raised there by her Scottish mother and then moved to England when she was 5 years old? What a ridiculous thing to say, oh wait because she has an English accent then she is English? Or she has lived in England for 43 years she is English? Seriously re-read that and digest it and realise what a complete helmet you have made yourself sound.

 

They're two exceptions, they will personally know they aren't English, they just want to play for a so called 'better' national team, looking at the two types of people Sterling and Zaha are do you really think they're patriotic about England? Are they hell, they would just prefer to play for England over Jamaica and the Ivory Coast. Playing for England they have more chances of playing at international tournaments over their respected nations of birth, fact, that's all Raheem Sterling and Wilfred Zaha are thinking about. They have taken advantage of a residency ruling, Arteta, Cudicini and Almunia could have, why England didn't ask them we'll never know, that's not to say Arteta, Cudicini and Almunia would ever have wanted to have played for England.

 

Arteta is ineligible he didn't have a British passport when he represented Spain at youth level.

Accent thing is even more daft when it comes to people who learn English (or another language) from watching TV. I bumped into a bunch of Scandinavian's once and asked them where abouts in the US they were from. Turned out they all learnt English from watching Friends and had never been. 

 

Also what happens if someone just has a natural ability to mimic accents, they could just play for whoever they want.

So she went grew up in and went to school in England.

 

She probably doesn't even remember living in Scotland,

 

I would say her primary nationality is English and her secondary nationality is Scottish.

My opinion.

 

Otherwise I could just say 'I feel Brazilian and I want to play for Brazil' and nobody could question it.

lol

 

So you can question someone else's nationality, but if you say you feel Brazilian and want to play for them, no-one can question that? lol

If you had some sort of qualification for being Brazilian, then sure. If you were born there, had Brazilian parents or otherwise good claims to call yourself Brazilian while also feeling Brazilian, then who is anyone to say you're not? Determining nationality isn't ONLY subjective.

I Notice Kitch has done that thing where he realizes he's said something stupid and evaporates into thin air lol.

I don't know, I wouldn't underestimate him. He's probably thinking up an argument and he'll come back swinging in the face of widespread public ridicule.

He reminds me of a young Sosban "Earnshaw for Ballon d'Or" Fach.

He is Australian then.

 

Accent is the biggest indicator of where someone is from.

 

Same with Giuseppe Rossi.

 

He's American.

 

Wow, did not see that yesterday.

 

Christian Vieri is not Australian, as mentioned he was born in Bologna to Italian parents, just because his dad moved the family to Australia he should've been denied the chance to play for Italy, the country of his birth, because he spoke with an Aussie twang!!! Seriously!! Incidentally his younger brother Max who was born in Australia, played for Australia.

I don't think Januzaj should play for England, however if he was to wait three more years to qualify then I'd have some admiration at missing out on possibly 25 international caps to gain his first with England.

 

In terms of qualifying to play, apart from birth I think it's fine if you have a parent of that nationality or through residency having grown up in a country from primary school age.

I go with that...surely he would want play international football before 2018?

 

Who knows by then we might have some great midfield talents ourselves...

I am yeah.

 

Sterling is Jamaican and Zaha is Ivorian.

 

Though listening to their accents they are probably from Los Angeles.
