    Be ridiculous if they start cancelling results on a technicality.

    Personally, I think if you're born in a country them that's the country you represent. Maybe room for the odd exception (e.g. the player's mother was on holiday in a different country when she gave birth) but, as a general rule, you can't change nationality to play for someone else (rugby is a prime example).

    Oh I totally agree Zip.

    My other potential get out would be if your family was in the armed services and you were born on base/hospital in another country whilst your parent served.

    I just thought an interesting little football tidbit away from us.
