jcoll Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I have been allowed to call up a player to my squad who has already been capped twice by a different nation, I thought that once he'd been capped he was declared for that nation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpfc543 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 The two games were probably friendies. A player does not declare for a nation after playing a friendly for that country, it has to be a competitive game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike7077 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I was aware of this rule, but I'm wondering, is it a fairly recent thing or has it always been there? It's just I've only noticed it being mentioned in the real world in the last couple of years or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 It's always been there iirc. I just don't think many players have had the chance. I didn't know about it until Alex Bruce decided to switch allegiance to Northern Ireland despite playing in two friendlies for the Republic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a change from them all going in the opposite direction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
