Bosnia can make my keks large tomorrow
Which region of Italy is that young man on the right from?
>>154064118https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moise_Kean>Kean was born in Vercelli to Ivorian parents Biorou and Isabelle.>When his parents separated when he was four years old, he and his two brothers moved with their mother to Asti, where he spent the rest of his childhood and adolescent years
>>154064145Oh, actually not a merc, I'm mildly surprised
Gli Azzurri sono caca LOLOL
>Italians caught cheering they avoided Wales>Dimarco had to call Dzeko to apologize>Gattuso claiming Bosnian fans don't matterthis won't end well
>>154064156The vast majority of foreign players for European national teams are born and raised in these countries. That still doesn't necessarily make it a good thing, but it's very rare for a national team to recruit a foreign-born player with no heritage from that country. They would have to do that early on, you can't swap teams once you've played for a country after allA current situation that has drawn plenty of criticism is that of Carney Chukwuemeka. He was born in Austria to Nigerian parents, spent most of his youth in England and played for England's youth team. But now he suddenly plays for Austria despite not speaking any GermanIf it's about the place of birth, most African nations are mercenary countries as plenty of their players were born and raised in France, England, Netherlands, Spain, Belgium. And many of them chose their African countries of family origin only after they realized they weren't going to make it as players for their European countries of birth
>>154064423Reminds me of the Italian baseball team being all Americans lmao
>>154064423Fair enough. Canada's in a similar-ish boat, but a lot of our athletes across time were European expats (mostly thinking of Colin Miller and our old GK Borjan, but our top chess player/s were Euros too), and then more recently it resembles what you describe, where they're from third-world places like Nigeria, Cote d'Ivoire, or Brampton OntarioI originally made the smarmy comment because I assumed OP's guy was an Arab Spring import
>>154064506don't forget one from Venezuela.Well, they changed the law recently, so it's more difficult for persons without Italian citizenship but with an Italian ancestor (say 1/32 Italian) to get the citizenship.
>>154064087>>154064192you mutts realize that if you had to qualify in europe you would have never played a worldcup ever right?
>>154066795thissudaca jam boys lose like 8 games and go to WC playoffs
>>154064423>African nations are mercenary countries as plenty of their players were born and raised in EnglandProof, if proof were needed that Ireland is African with most of their squad diaspora from Irish grannies in England.Looks like Portugal and Italy have fewer mercenaries now. Spain still at it with a Laporte, Le Normand, Huijssen...
>>154066795Yea we would, we make it out of groups in worldcup more often than not and several shit european teams qualify every yearIm not saying were good, were not, especially this time. We just got shitcanned by Belgium. but we always get underrated opposed to our performances in the wc
>>154064156Do.tou think the majority of black players on western teams are born in Africa ?France's national team is like 95% guys born in France meanwhile morrocos is almost entirely morrocans from Europe
>>154066960>Senegal>Ivory coast>Guinea>Algeria>Morroco>Tunisia>Mali>CameroonGoogle search where these players are actually born. They are almost entirely national teams of European born diaspora and mostly in France
wait what the fuck do you mean Dzeko is STILL playing
>>154067463Sweden doesnt qualify half the time and we have a much better record than you in the world cup, you would maybe qualify 1/3 of the time by getting lucky in the playoffs, same with Canada and Mexico
>>154067546He scored the goal that tied the game against WalesHe has been with Fiorentina but went to Bundesliga 2 to go the Schalke during the winter transfer window because he wants to help them before he retires
>>154067551Your country doesn't have a winning mentality i don't think we can compare. Sweden is a bit of a loser country isnt it
>>154064506>claiming guidoslmao how the mighty have fallen
>>154067590Im italian american dawg we definitely are accepted as americans. Been to italy a lot im definitely more american than italian. It would be a lie to say were not americans
