How come it won't let me call him up to my England squad?

Any ideas please?

Cheers.

He may be eligible, but as far as I know he hasn't ever wanted to play for England.

retired_Roark

Oh right, so they haven't implented that due to him not wanting to?

retired_anthonyc

on the editor all players have a "declared for nation" option. if this is ticked he wont play for england because he only intends t play for italy

retired_sedcrewfan

I think that he should have England listed as a second nationality though, even if he is declared for Italy.

Because he is an English resident he is entitled to play for England, as he has never played for Italy, but he has never wanted to play for England, so he won't.

just to clear, there is no such things as "English resident". You can be a resident of UK (via indefinate leave to remain). However that doesnt automatically give you right to play for any one of the home country unless you have direct link (i.e. one of your grandparents is come from the home country)

So if a person is born in London to immigrant parents, they cannot ever represent England?

Wise choice since he has a better chance at a World Cup title.

Although I already know the answer, I want to see what your response is . . .

So what if your grandparent is an immigrant and your family has resided in England since 1800?
