[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 994107, member: 55747"] It's not who, it's the what. It's not about what player goes where, but the principle. For me there is a very simple acid test. If you get player X, lets call him John, who plays for national team A, and tell him listen, i guarantee you the same amount of money and privileges, would you play for national team A or would you rather play for another team that you could be eligible for? What colours do you want to represent, who are you? If under any circumstances he decides to switch, imo and this is personal, granted, there is something wrong. Sometimes terribly so sometimes not so much. Again, this is a principles thing for me. Playing for the national team is not a right, it's a privilege. I find the idea of a national team being someone's b-plan infuriating. I'd rather lose with my own every game than go begging for the scraps of someone else's table. [/QUOTE]
