    none of them have anything on Giggs. He's a legend.

    But to an extent England, Scotland, Wales and NI are all one country. There's a much bigger difference between a Spaniard playing for England and an Englishman playing for Wales.

    If they are eligible then that's that. I can also understand why they may not necessarily prefer to play for the country they were born in - if I was an international footballer I reckon I would rather play for Ireland (I would be eligible, obviously) because I suppose I have always felt more patriotic (not really the right word but whatever) to Ireland than I have to England.

    you should play for the nation you're born in or lived in since like birth none of this legal to play for crap. It just ruins the competition because Algeria could be good and have a chance enhancing the competition with the players they should have. Same in cricket for us? our best player is from SA and so is Keiswetter (sp) who was intense in the T20 WC. So it isn't just football.

    and all this i'd fancy playing for England? I mean is everyone is doing it we should but it's not club football you should be proud to represent your nation.

    It is just went KP Boetang plays for Ghana and his brother plays for Germany.. why does he play for Ghana?

    KP Boateng and Jerome are step brothers. Not sure how that helps.

    Alot of players for the "total football" team of the Netherlands were born in South America.

    He played for Germany at as a teenager but he realised he wouldn't get chances so opted for Ghana. Jerome got a chance with Germany so played for them. They both have German mothers and Ghanaian father.s

    That's a very short-sighted approach. In my case maybe it's because my parents are Irish so I'd feel they'd be more proud of me playing for Ireland, or maybe I'd be more proud of myself given that pretty much my whole family is Irish. I don't feel as much of a personal thing with England even though I was born here and I've lived here all my life. I still want England to win the World Cup - but if Ireland were involved I'd probably be supporting them equally (and I wouldn't know what to do if they met in the later stages ).
