United have agreed a deal with Porto for their Brazilian youngster Anderson. To quote a Portuguese Liverpool fan from Xtratime, "This is disgusting. This guy is the biggest talent in Europe next to Messi. I hope he doesn't settle in England."
Apparently we've agreed a deal for Nani too. Sweet.
And you say that picking a smaller country makes you look as a mediocre player... I see it as someone who has enough pride in his country and does not want to satisfy his ego and his personal interests.
then again you come from England and I come from Bosnia so you don't really understand the point of view of smaller countries...
I see where you're coming from. A lot of players, like Didier Drogba, have snubbed bigger national teams to play for the country they were born in. And if it's about pride then I agree, but it's not always. Jason Euell was born in England, but he plays for Jamaica. Why? Probably because he couldn't get into the England team.
