dontask Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 i think its fair 2 say eventually players from other countries will play for england, so the game is probably being realistic. we also dont really have a top keeper atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I agree we have no backup as Foster and Carson look like lost causes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kreman Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 David James isn't bad. Though I agree we have no backup as Foster and Carson look like lost causes. Hart looks to be England's only hope. He is performingly solidly for Birmingham, with a whole bunch of clean sheets to his name. Surely he will go to the World Cup next year. But will Capello have the guts to play youngster after the pressure of being no.1 destroyed Scott Carson in the qualifying for the Euros. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kickballz Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I agree that it is cloud cuckoo land but nevertheless, I give credit to SI for making this kind of thing possible. It's not real after all so what's the problem. It COULD happen so fair plays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeScotsPaul Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Isn't there a gentleman's agreement between the home nations that this will never happen? Because the nationality taken by the player is "British", and he would therefore technically be eligible to represent ANY British nation. Or am I wrong in this?

Even if you are technically right (which I doubt) then I can't see this sort of thing ever happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
x42bn6 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I think you might be wrong. Even if you are technically right (which I doubt) then I can't see this sort of thing ever happening. There is a gentleman's agreement between the Home Nations only to take players from their own "nation". Almunia is not "English", so he will not be called up by Capello. Nacho Novo is not "Scottish", so he will not be called up by Levein. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although as I said, it will never happen. The fact that Novo is now British (eligible for Scotland) and they won't touch him with a barge pole proves the case. EDIT: in fact it doesn't - Novo took citizenship so he could play for Scotland so unless that was a typo, what you said is absurd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think Nacho Nova hasn't already played for Scotland? In all fairness, I do think that if it suited someone breaking it then they would.

Maybe because he is utter cack? have you ever seen the guy play? he can't even get a game for Rangers - what does that tell you? Even if there is a 'gentlemans agreemant' (sic) in place, it would be broken in a heartbeat if they was anyone worth taking. It's a nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
x42bn6 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Scotland could do with Nacho Novo. But it won't happen because of this agreement. It is related to the fact that there's no such thing as English/Scottish/Welsh/Northern Irish "nationality" - if you are born in any of these places, you are a British citizen, of the United Kingdom. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/7702704.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept I was wrong. Nevertheless, I disagree that they could do with him. He really is a very mediocre player. There are far better Scottish players around than Novo.

gunner86 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Feruz Islam plays for Scotlands u17's and he's Somalian by birth. So I think this gentlemans agreement thing is a load of old tosh! Secondly, to qualify for the England team specifically you have to have played in England for 5 years. Someone is eligible for British citizenship after 5 years residence,(eg 2 years in Scptland and 3 years in England) however they would not be able to play for either country unless they have been there for 5 years.

They can only play for the home nations if they have attended School in the respected country for 5 years or over. Thats why Islam has been considered.

Administrators Neil Brock Posted December 30, 2009 Administrators Share Posted December 30, 2009 There is a 'gentleman's agreement' apparently, but because this isn't an official rule it is not currently coded into the game. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
