>I'm not sure of that. Sample our number 7 Aurelio actually a brasillian. I'm not opposite for immigrants. But he isn't an immigrant actually. He took turkish citizenship just for foreigner player limits. He is playing for Turkey because he couldn't success invite to Brasil team. I'm sure he will come back Brasilia after ended his career.

>Today play for national teams like advertisement for players. I remember from 10-15 years ago turkish player weren't wanting for national team. Because in these years turkish team was a bad situation.
But your coach and the national football organisation have chosen him.
We had a similar situation last year. An african player playing in the Dutch competition was invited to join the national team (by our coach Van Basten) and he was willing. But our minister of Immigration refused him the Dutch citizenship, on formal grounds. People were divided in two camps, those who think the minister did the right thing and those who wanted him in our national team. I did't like that minister, but I agreed here with that decision. Now this player is in the English competition.
