Surprised the guy interviewing him knew who he is, or for that matter understood anything he said.

Interesting discussion over there in England

Basically I agree with you guys on this but where should we draw the line ?
For example a boy who came to Germany with his foreign parents when he was 2 years old would never be allowed to play for the National Team though he grows up in this country and later gets his German citizenship ?
Thats true PackerFan71, its ridiculous when they search until middle ages for relatives with national roots. Can you imagine Wayne Rooney wearing a Scottish shirt? No, thank you.I think its all too murky, and countries take advantage of this far too easily. Sport and that type of thing should be separate, by all means allow citizenship but disallow him from playing for the ''new'' country. Playing for our nationals sides should be an honour for those born there or of direct parentage. Wee Berti even tried to get Wayne Rooney to play for Scotland as a teenager because of his Scottish Granny.

Can you guys explain to me the difference between Ireland and Scotland's relationship to London?
Southern Ireland is politically independent of the (Westminster) London Parliament.
Scotland at present is part of the UK and is in the Westminster sphere of control, next year Scotland has an Independence referendum vote (for the Scots only) to decide if they want to stay or leave the UK.
And if so only England, Wales and Northern Ireland would be left as members of the UK.
Quite interesting and maybe important to know before you vote next year (), PackerFan71, an independent Scotland would not automatically be a member of the EU.
They had to apply and if they were approved there will be a new currency for Scotland, the Euro, because beside GB and Denmark no other exceptions will be accepted.
Will be exciting to see what happens.
Btw - we play Ireland tonight and I expect to be qualified for Brazil after the final whistle
I have long grown tired of all the scare stories Nessie regarding the EU, Oil Revenues, cost of living etc blah blah blah. The EU would want an independent Scotland in there anyway of course they would. Currency would remain as the Pound for a while for stability, then later we would decide to have our own thats quite normal. I have long since made up my mind what way ill vote, but its the majority that will decide thats Democracy.

Understandable, PackerFan71, but Im sure that all these topics will be discussed again and again when Election day comes closer.
But quite interesting for me to read about on BBC website or other British Media, obviously not easy to become independent nowadays.
And I'd know what to vote for too but unfortunately....or maybe fortunately (?)....Im not Scottish.
So for the English international team, someone from Scotland or Northern Ireland would be acceptable?
