Stevicus Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 He can play for england as long as he accepts Citizinship, and has not been capped by Brazil. he should appear in teh National pool If he becomes eligible for England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xander Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 it depends, has he already played for brazil? even if he's played at youth level then he can't play for england if not then he can, but only if he wants to, its up to him really, im not 100% sure if theres anything u as the manager can do to encourage him to EDIT: damn u steve j10 u beat me to it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevicus Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I think it is very rare that Keirrison becomes eligible for any other country on anybody's games as he usually gets his first cap within the first season. Of course, his first cap could be delayed for a few years with a few broken legs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 If the game is completely realistic then he won't be able to play for England, as the Home Nation FAs have a gentleman's agreement that players can only qualify to play for a country by birthplace or bloodlines, and not through residency.

crafty bison Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 There is a problem with the news stories here. I am England manager and constantly get told that players have taken British nationality and want to play for England. Unfortunately, er, they don't - they're "Declared for nation" already. Of at least 20 players I've had this news article about, only one, Carlos Cuellar, is actually selectable. (Of course, I'm not selecting him!)

megafan2005 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 One solution would be to just have him in your squad and dont use him till he is eligible so that he is not picked for Brazil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 You can't pick ineligible players for an international squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
