podolski too

Miroslaw Klose is an ethnic German, who was born in Silesia (Peoples Republic of Poland; = PRP). Calculated from the from 12th century to the year 1949, Silesia, was mainly a part of Germany. Ulrich Klose (born in the German Empire), is a displaced Silesian German person, and was the First Mayor of Hamburg (FRG). Lukas Podolksi was born in Silesia (PRP) too. Podolksi has a Slavic language Family name. With Angelique Kerber, born on Gut Karlskrone (nearby the River Warthe, PRP) it is a very equal personal story to Miroslaw Klose! Breslau, the capital of Silesia, has its "Olympiastadion", despite hosting the "World Games", of the (currently) non Olympic sports, of the year 2017, which were held in the Republic of Poland!

​@@maikotter9945 Miro's father Josef Klose is a German Silesian; his mother Barbara Jez, however, is an ethnic Pole. We also do not know the exact ethnic make-up of his paternal side regarding cultural intermingling; considering that his paternal family stems from Oppeln/Opole, a region that even in 1905 had a Polish majority, and his paternal grandmother's maiden name being Panek, there's a pretty good chance that his father also is of a significant Polish descent.

Ethnic german 😂 nothing about him is German, Podolski and Klose are both Polish ​@@maikotter9945

Both Klose and Podolski are ethnic Germans from Silesia !

Aswell Morocco They get respected there more feel at home

Yeah but it's quite common to see duonationals lacking in passion and only choosing their "background national team" bc they aren't good enough for the NT of the country they were born in.

The thing is about them is that they have Indonesian ancestry in one way or another due to our colonial past. I'm fine with that kind naturalization, I'm not fine with just giving random Europeans and South Americans with no ties to here citizenship just because like what Malaysia and China has been doing.

@@farhanatashiga3721 Communism is very equlity focused! Creativity is a weakness of communism! To stand out in THE "global sport no. 1", you need creativity ... and to be elite in football, over average body hight. Chinas inhabitants are usually smaller.

Apart from tijani reinjders

But they are all Moroccons, unlike the French team that uses non French.

​@@haliib1107Nationality isn't objective. If they feel like they're french and have either grown up in or are ethnically from any country then they can be that nationality.

​@@haliib1107the "non-french" are Born/Bred and Live in French soil. So they are French So by your logic, Pelé is Nigerian because he has roots from there

@@haliib1107most of the french players were born in france or raised in france why would u play for a country that has never done anything for u rather than a country that u grew up in and shared ur best memories with?

@@acegarcia3719 good idea

Being born in another country doesn't necessarily grant you citizenship.. For example in Italy it doesn't, infact Thuram didn't "chose" anything, he is not an italian citizen.

You’re most certainly not

Yep in Bretagne

Parma*

If Tomori cared about playing, he would've chosen Canada or Nigeria, but his heart is with the English national team since he was raised there. Sadly England employs a hollow headed coach. Tomori might never get to represent England in his prime as long as England keeps accepting mediocrity.

It does if that country grants you citizenship by birthright

Only very few Countries in the world do that like NZ, US, Germany and France. Most don’t and you’d have to be naturalised.

@@peterl5804 Yup

​@@peterl5804Then 98% of the population in the USA should not play for the country because they have roots from Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America. The Indians ( natives) are the true Americans

@@peterl5804In most of Europe and other countries in the world without birthright citizenship you are however automatically naturalized and granted citizenship at birth if one of your parents are citizens of the country - which is the case for many of these players

No, it's just their passport.

It's different from country to country. In Brazil, if a parent is Brazilian, the kids have Brazilian citizenship no matter where they were born. Andreas Pereira is the first player born outside Brazil called up to the Seleção in over 80 years.

@@Aristomenis31passport is a travel document dude

@@tecumseh4095 it’s also a sign of nationality and citizenship

It's like an American playing for England

Or Spain (Hakimi and Diaz for instance)

Most of them are ethnically Morrocan but were raised in European countries

Whole? Half of the Moroccan squad that faced Portugal were born in Morocco, get your facts straight.

Brahim Diaz is half Spanish…

They are only dutch or french when they are succesfull. If they were criminals you would’ve 100 % mentionned their moroccan origin.

I don’t even know any of them….

@@SaishsJahshsb-ou9nl I mean my country is rarely talked about in the world of football as whenever someone mentions "South American football", they're usually just talking about Brasil, Argentina or Uruguay. Plus, Noriega and Sonne are relatively new players to international football.

I can understand Mexico, how tf did the other 3 end up on the other side of the world?

Hakan Calanoghlu was also born in germany

Benzema was born in Lyon and Zidane in Marseille. We are counting origin for all of them, as that’s how they’re eligible to play for these teams (except in the case of Davies and Camavinga, who did it through citizenship). The whole point is that they chose origin over place of birth

Probably over 90% of the French national team have different origins

I guess the entire USA basketball team should play for Africa if ancestral origin were to be taken into account 😅 let's even say the entire continent of the Americas minus the indigenous 😅 🤷🏽‍♂️ Humans have always migrated to other places and got citizenship to their new home ❤

@dalmatia1 It’s actually about 82%, so not far off. 19/23 of their main 23 man squad are not of French origin Samba - Congo Maignan - Caribbean Areola - Philippines Upamecano - Guinea-Bissau Kounde - Benin Konate- Mali Saliba - Lebanon/Cameroon L.

Ne, korijeni su mu iz Hrvatske. Djed mu je bio Hrvat.

Ok.I fixed the comment

Pulisic gives no love to Croatia, even though the whole reason that he got to play in Europe at a young age was because Niko Kovac helped him get Croatian citizenship. So I have no love for him

​@@dalmatia1I'd say it's been a good deal for him, Christian Pulisic might not be a superstar in Europe but gets to be the defacto face of US Soccer.

he has croatian passport if im not mistaken

A lot of US players were born abroad

lots of Argentine people have Italian background

Such as Lionel Messi

@@hkar4385 Regegui's name is actually not of Italian origin, it's Spanish. Most Argentinians do have Italian ancestry though, but based on his name, he's likely not one of them.

Kosovo is an independent and sovereign state. It has its own institutions, and government. It is also recognized by the governing body of the UN.

He was only in NY for the first 3 months of his life, then moved to Haiti for 5 years, and came to Ottawa, Canada where he was raised

Spain has been the country importing players the most: Diego Costa, Laporte, Le Normand, Thiago Alcantara.

No, he was born in a Ghanaian refugee camp, but his parents come from Liberia. He hasn't set foot in Liberia as far as I know

What do you mean? 22 of 26 were born in Switzerland

He was born in Italy

A lot of them do end up playing dor african countries though, like hakimi and mahrez

Depends if it’s only their roots or actually their first home

Not about money. It’s respect for the country that took them in and provided them the conditions to become top footballers. It’s not Europe’s fault that most countries in Africa are corrupt and terrible. There’s no middle class is most African countries. Either you are rich af or you have close to nothing. That’s on the government and their mentality.

@@AllMenMustServe You are telling this to a guy who got a degree in international relations specializing on Africa. Of course, I know what's wrong with Africa. And, by the way, if they want money and personal prosperity, they are still playing in European clubs and make as much money as African people have never seen. But as for the national teams, I don't get it. I mostly talked about them. I think France is already can be counted as African team and (maybe we should let them play in AFC, not UEFA, lol). They had only 3 players who were French on the last World Cup. I think it's totally unfair. Because of the money countries like France pay for buying players citizenship. Even their keeper must have played for the Philippines but they bought him and he got a French citizenship. So, I think such practice must be prohibited.

@@darkknifepony6922 buy citizenship? You’re crazy. You only have to live and work on France for 5 years legally to get a French citizenship and you’re legally able to represent that country. That happens in almost every EU country. And regarding France’s case, most of those players were born and raised in France. They share the French culture and lived there all their lives. Went to school with French people, have French friends and probably one of their parents are French too. Why would they represent other country if they feel like French? It’s just human nature. Even if you’re Chinese but you were raised and lived all your life in another country, you feel like you belong to that specific culture and you’re more than happy to represent and give your heart out to represent it the best way you can. Judging by your logic the USA wouldn’t have a single national team from any sport since their country is basically formed with emigrants. They’re a mix of every country in the world. So if every one of them decided to represent the country from which their roots are, bye bye USA national teams. Again, if most African countries were even half decent enough to make their own people want to stay there, this probably wouldn’t happen. Same goes for many Asian and South American countries. It’s not a coincidence that people from Asia, Africa and South America come in millions to Europe and North America every year searching for a better life. Don’t blame the Europeans or the North Americans, blame on their roots.

In 🇮🇹 is by blood as well that's Thuram couldn't play for Italy

Matt Ritchie

Because of racism and a bit of jealousy. Those players of African origin tend to be the better players and they think it's an unfair advantage which is just bogus.
