Fuck off Dan, I don't think a Jamaican should play for England, what is your problem with that? Should Spain be allowed to call up Messi for the 2014 World Cup? He has a Spanish passport and by then he'll have lived in Spain longer than he lived in Argentina. Does that sound alright to you?
Messi has already played for Argentina. I don't recall Sterling playing for Jamaica.
Why should that make a difference? According to Dan's logic he is now Spanish, it's not right that a Spaniard plays for Argentina is it?
If FIFA rules say that a player can't represent his own country and must represent another then FIFA rules need to be changed.

Marcos Senna played for Spain.
However, he had not played international football.
Surely, an intellectual man like yourself cannot be confused by these simple rules?

Re: Future of England
Does Sterling have any English parents/grandparents or does he only qualify through living here for so long?

There is no need to get abusive.
No, it doesn't. Mainly because Messi has already played for Argentina.
But he is Spanish now. Why should a Spaniard play for Argentina?
No he isn't. He is Argentinian.

Messi was born in Argentina, to (as far as I know) an Argentine family. He plays for Argentina. He is Argentinian.
Simple as that.

Oh, well in that case of course he should qualify to play for England, as well as having the choice of Jamaica if he wished.
I thought he was another Almunia case with the way RR has gone on about it; they're the ones I don't agree with.

Manuel Almunia England number 1
Anyway,if someone born in Jamaica won England the World Cup I wouldn't care personally. He has an English parent anyway.

Anyway, forget about Sterling, he hasn't even made his debut, most of these hyped young players never even make it anyway. He should play for Jamaica and he probably will.

I'm just not interested in derailing the thread with a pointless debate about how your nationality is defined by living in a country for a while.

Can't you just agree to disagree? Hate how this place turns into a bunch of keyboard warriors trying to get one over each other sometimes.

Hart
Kelly Smalling Jones Bertrand
Frimpong
Cleverley Wilshere
Welbeck Rooney Young
Kelly Smalling Jones Bertrand
Frimpong
Cleverley Wilshere
Welbeck Rooney Young
That'd be my team in 5 years or so,although obviously depends on how players like Chamberlain and Henderson develop and whether Frimpong commits to England
