No he couldn’t. Nor could De Bruyne for that matter. Debatable if Haaland could either. Not a great start when half your examples are wrong.
He was born in Leeds. Not much debate over eligibility there.
Living up to that username.
Grrr
Being born in Leeds doesn’t give you automatic right to British citizenship, so very much up for debate actually.
No need for a capital letter after a comma mate.
No cause the question doesn't makes sense.
No need for the apostrophe in “Nazi’s” either.
they're*
From Gov.U.K.:
Sure, so op can have 3/5 then.
Which begs the question, why would we make a list that would contain about half of professional footballers?
List could be pretty big so post the most interesting and obscure ones.
What makes them obscure or interesting?
He was, his brother tried to declare for Ireland but obviously wasn’t good enough.
FootballHQ has just made a post about Matty Cash being eligible for Poland. As a football fan I never knew that I find that interesting. It's just basic judgement on what players would be interesting to post. For example Andrew Ayew being eligible for France, I'd say many people would not bothered about that to be honest.
Bizzare that. You could argue that the prestige of playing for Australia during his time period would far out weigh any benefit of playing for Ireland. Not being rude to the Irish because you've had some great players, but Australia between 2000 and up to 2010 had some more than handy players in it and was probably better than the Irish team.
Was never actually eligible since he’d played for France youth in official competition before being a Spanish citizen. The rules have now changed this season so he’d now be eligible but he said he decided against getting Spanish citizenship.
The home nations agreement stops England from naturalizing players, they require 5 years of schooling. So none of Arteta, Adnan, Almunia, Angel Rangel etc were ever eligible.
Obviously it must get mentioned all the time
So you want a list of players from "exotic"/unexpected countries? Because outside of Dier your OP doesn't make it clear, you put three obvious ones. Now for example would Thiago being eligible for three countries be interesting, he is born in Italy but grew up between Brazil and Spain?
It's getting back to what I said before with it being based on your own judgement. You say a list of players from exotic/unexpected countries but It all depends on their ability and relevance. I'm not asking for the whole list. The reason why I posted the others because they are big name players which people would be interested in.
God, think of the hours people wasted debating what Arteta could bring to the England side and all along he never could.
