[quote=Anonymous]My children would be eligible to play for two countries as they have dual citizenship due to my husband being an immigrants Mas his country of origin only requires a parent to be a citizen for children to be one.   Hence my children, while born and raised so far in DC, have heritage to another country as well as here. We speak a second language, have a second house in another country, family in another country, spent significant time in another country, and basically the children are raised with two cultures.

I would be happy for my children to play for either country.  I find the nationalism attitude against any other country but US very off putting.  US or nothing st all?

The deal with France is that their talent base is eneormous and very gifted.  It is insanely hard to make the French team. For every player that makes it there are several others who are just as good.  France has had a long history of taking immigrants from former French colonies in Africa.  So while many players were born in France their parents may have immigrated to France and were born somewhere else and their children have dual citizenship.  But they may not be good enough to make the French team so they play for their other national team. Look at Paul Pogba, he plays for France.  His twin brothers play for Guinea, they’re good but not as good as Paul.  [/quote]
