He also said he wouldn’t represent a country that doesn’t follow his values.
What if he starts playing for Spain?
Yeah Morata is warming that bench for sure
Neglecting him being cap tied to France and could never play for Spain, I feel like Spain might be even less aligned with his values.
He’s cap-tied? That’s the first time I’ve heard about this. What happened?
He scored a hat trick in the World Cup final and won the golden boot playing with France. If that doesn’t cap tie you to a country, I don’t know what would.
Aren’t players forced to keep playing with one team if they have two nationalities?
Once they play an international game with a country, they can’t change to the other.
Also, does Mbappe have Spanish nationality? How would he play for Spain otherwise?
Brahim Diaz now plays for Morroco
Interesting, I wasn’t aware
Players are able to play for a different national team, like Diego costa played for Spain in 2014, if they have citizenship in the other country. But I’m pretty sure they can’t switch after playing competitive matches for their “original” country’s national team. So mbappe has obviously already played for France, I don’t think he can switch at this point. He may get Spanish citizenship in the next five years playing in Madrid, but he’s tied to France at this point.
Good. There shouldn’t be 11 a side men’s football at the Olympics either.
