Needs to change - you play for a country you stay for that country
Otherwise you end up with the Qatari athletics team (or prob their football team for 4 years time)

You're right: Russia - England would have become a game for politics while at the WC we are not interested in politics.
Well that's a relief. Should be an open game at least. If we can shackle Ratface, then I think we should be ok.
I think they were talking about America...
Trump's a big fan apparently.
Happy for any of the final four winning it.
Oh I agree. Once you've made a squad that should be it. I could still allow switching during youth levels but once you are at the age to be a full international it should be no changies except maybe in a very extreme case like when Kosovo got acknowledged as a country and could get a national team
Nope - while Charlie and Rat boy are favourites Croatia were Nazi puppets in ww2, so I can't even support them to actually win the thing.
Getting rid of the rat poison in the comp sure but not win
Agreed. And I would go even further, once you play for a country even at the youth level (within reason, let's say 16 years old) you're stuck with that country. Look at Bentaleb. Born in Lille, France. Lived his entire childhood in France. Played for France's youth teams. But at the age of 18 he switched to Algeria, a country he had never lived in.
Under FIFA's rules if I had played soccer at a really high level, I would have been eligible for the Cuban or Swedish NTs despite having never even been to either country. It's just dumb.
Tell us again how Sweden were going to dick us over
Preferably in comedy faux Glaswegian hard man dialect, which makes your tragic "not caring" bitterness all the funnier.
Come on England!
> you will never sit next to Poch in his living room, cheering on England and getting a big bear hug from him if one of his 'boys' scores.
Not satisfied with just mangling the Queen's English with their mealy mouthed tight gobs, they have to write it as well , sad cunts.
If you went down that road I don't know if Ireland could get a team together.
I don't think I ever said Sweden were going to dick you.
I'm not Glaswegian, and you've never met me ya fat cunt
75% chance that one or more current Spurs players come back as World Cup winners.
What a prize plonker but funny though. Anyone know where that is, there's a lot of fans in the street?
