Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted September 11, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 11, 2019 What countries would you be eligible to play for due to family like parents, uncles, grandparents and great-grandparents? And which would you actually play for given the nod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 England through birth and Spain through parents and obviously descendants. My son is in an even better position due to my wife being Italian where he can play for England through birth, Spain due to the fact I'm dual national and have given him full Spanish nationality and the same with my wife where he's also got an Italian passport... Three passports, three nationalities for three great footballing nations in Spain, Italy and England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Peru through birth, Canada through passport and I would also be eligible for England (my grandparents are from Ipswich). I think anyways, not sure how the process works but even my surname is British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted September 11, 2019 Administrator Share Posted September 11, 2019 England through birth. India & Kenya through parents/grand-parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted September 11, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 11, 2019 India through birth Portugal through parents/grandparents Given my time and residence permit in the UAE I think I'd like to have played for them when I was younger. Adnan Al-Talyani was a hero of mine growing up and he played for one club his whole career so if I did have a chance I'd play for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ Posted September 17, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 17, 2019 England through birth. Potentially Canada through my grandma who was born there but moved to England aged 3. So me and Brian could actually play together internationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somone actually joked about that to me the other day and I told him straight which is something I cannot repeat here. Just to say, it isn't going to happen mate, I'll make damned sure about that.
