Yeah, it just feels like Pichot posted it purely because Argentina come out looking like saints. Problem is, there's no context whatsoever. I doubt Argentina has a huge immigration figure in comparison to many other nations on the list. They've also only got the one, very recently created (and wholly geared-up to provide the national side, thus packed with Argentinian players), professional club, so you're not going to have players moving there to play their trade unlike in moast other nations.
It's also important to understand the the UK countries especially are so close to one another that there's massive movement of people between countries for work or education reasons (more so from Wales/Scotland/Ireland into England than the other way round), so you're going to have children born in a different country than they identify with for this reason (e.g. North, JD2 for Wales etc.). My son was born in Lincoln whilst we were in university there, and we moved back to Wales before he was 6 months old. Does that make him English?
England has massively multicultural centres such as London. PI families move to NZ/Aus for work and better prospects. People move to Aus for the weather and lifestyle. There are just so many reasons....
