Footballers playing for different countries to birth

[Sideshow Bob]

Following Jack Wilshere's, "The only people who should play for England are English people", what are your thoughts on footballers playing International football for different countries to birth? Should a footballer represent their birth country only? What about grandparent's heritage? Or naturalised nationality?

Why just footballers? It applies to all sportsmen and sportswomen. Wilshere comments were blatant and stupid. That means ppl like No Farah, Muamba, Hargreaves, Kevin Pietersen etc shouldn't represent England, despite having done schooling there? That's absurd. Wilshere is a cocky shithead speaking no sense.

Uneducated comments.

He didn't say much wrong, bit of an over-reaction if you ask me.
