Ancestry? Makes it sound like hundreds of years down the line.
Somehow, seems a little ridiculous that the Boatengs are playing against each other - there's plenty more from me about the ridiculousness of switching countries if you want it, but I'm going to settle down, watch the game and support Boateng ![]() Would you also criticise Welbeck and Jagielka for playing for England given how they could have represented other countries? Raheem Sterling isn't even English, he was born in Jamaica, no complaints from me, but maybe something else to consider if you criticise Germany for it. |

It's livening up the commentator says, and I say about time it was, as game is a bit sluggish.

I agree changing countries is wrong, but I'm pretty sure Ozil, Khedira and Jerome Boateng aren't guilty of this, there's genuinly nothing to criticise them, or Germany for. They are German, why wouldn't they play for Germany
![]() Would you also criticise Welbeck and Jagielka for playing for England given how they could have represented other countries? Can't change nationalities like you do clubs ... otherwise there's no point - you'll have the ridiculous situation that athletics have where the oil rich "buy" Kenyan and Ethiopian athletes. Unless you WANT Qatar to have the best team in 2022? |

I don't think the German GK is going to concede a single goal this tournament.

Another example there of the massive swerve you can get on this ball if you strike it in the right way.

I think the oppressive heat this game is bring played in could well favour Ghana as this game progresses.
Germany are not playing the usual high tempo as a result. |

Would that be the Zlatan Ibrahimovic who was born and brought up in Sweden?

What's the primary reason two brothers are playing for different nations? Born in different countries? Can someone clarify?
