TRS-T Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) But his dad is Nigerian. Yes but his mom is Irish and he himself is Irish. He's clearly more Irish than Nigerian. Edited May 25, 2014 by TRS-T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 You never know he might even make a decision based on footballing reasons Without wanting to drag his nationality in to the debate, Clark currently has 9 more caps than he would have had he stuck to playing for England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I can't be bothered anymore but you're taking a ridiculously simplistic viewpoint. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Would also be interested kev to know the attitude of each FA towards him, can remember holtby giving a good interview on talksport about the arrogance of the English FA compared to ze Germans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 But his dad is Nigerian. Yes but his mom is Irish and he himself is Irish. He's clearly more Irish than Nigerian. So out of interest, if say your parents had moved to somewhere like Dubai for work purposes and you happened to be born and raised there, you'd consider yourself Emirati first and foremost would you?

Most likely yes. You only have to look at Gabby. Nigerian dad, Scottish mom - he's English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Well fair enough then. You're consistant in your views at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityRoadSteps Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Isn't all this a good reason to stop International football then. Seeing as it's all pretty much irrelevant what country you were born in or raised in or your mother or father came from. Just have representative football instead. Premier League v Bundesliga and such like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers13 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I've always thought that whatever country you were raised in is your nationality. However, I'm not that patriotic or nationalistic, and I also wasn't born to immigrants, so I have no clue how id feel in that situation, and neither does anyone else unless they've experienced it. So unless that's true, I don't think you can comment on what country jack grealish should feel like he's from or should represent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 You can sit here and debate it all day though, Jack says he's Irish then he's Irish. Look at Diego Costa not a drop of spanish blood in the fella but he'll be playing for Spain at the WC. Whatever the individual feels the most connection too i suppose, aslong as they're not claiming to a nationality they have nothing to do with i don't see the problem. Just a shame Jack wont be going to any tournaments with his choice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
