Though why would you deny him the chance to represent his heritage?
From: The Scrutineer on 14 May 2010 03:15 You both get fired up over little issues, the rule wont change unless Abubakr is next in line for FIFA presidency, that said, it's not necessarily right either, it's a good idea, but grey at best, it is hard to get a clear black and white solution for this subject!!!

They should do as in rugby, a player can play for " the country in which: (a) he was born; or (b) one parent or grandparent was born; or (c) he has completed thirty six consecutive months of Residence immediately preceding the time of playing." and get rid of this question of nationality. A football team doesn't "represent" a nationality.
