I'd have hated my kids having to choose which country to represent if they were good at sport. It would have been their decision ultimately but I couldn't imagine them going through the French system and being funded by a French federation and them turning their backs on those federations to represent England or Britain. This is unless there was no way of representing France.

There is a young Goalkeeper at St Etienne who has been asked to represent France internationally but has refused saying that he wants to play for England.
What a risk he's taking but credit to him for believing in himself.
