[QUOTE="unrated, post: 994533, member: 45773"] How can you say such a thing about Messi? Your disrespect towards the him is distastefull, he loves his country and especially shocking coming from an Argentinian. He could have chosen to play for Spain, with Iniesta and Xavi and they would have won three straight world cups by now. He chose loyalty to his homeland, the one he was born in, he has respect for his hometown and wants to go back one day to Rosario. You are now trancending towards culture instead of nation that you were born in. The latter should IMO be the golden rule. Not born here? Then you dont get to play for the country. No exceptions. Most white South Africans come from Europe. They did not just appear there one day. So if we look at cultural heritage like you propose as a factor (and alluding to with Messi) then most white South Africans must rather go play for The Netherlands, Germany, England, France and Scotland. Thats why its better to just say whatever country you are born in. [/QUOTE]
