    Facts are facts.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fikayo_Tomori

    If he was born in Canada then, for me, he’s Canadian. You can call him whatever you want. Why let facts get in the way.

    <cheers>

    You're wrong mate he's now English.. I know you're a older gentleman, but that's just not how nationality works anymore.

    Isn’t that child abuse??

    The forcing to wear the Scotland strip, not the kicking his ass, that is.

    Is this like the pronouns ****?

    So can you say you were born in England and white but identify as an oriental American black Hungarian?

    They just realised that being born somewhere is almost irrelevant.

    No because there are now other overriding factors that are taken into account.

    It’s not that deep, who does Tomori play for at intl level? Answer - the same nation as Kelly, Trafford, Barnes, Gordon, DCL, Solanke, Madueke, etc.

    Olise is French. But he is effectively a cockney. There’s a pattern. Doesn’t matter whether it’s good or bad, it’s just the reality.

    In fairness obviously Chaos is going out of his way to try and make this controversial and artificialy create discourse but this isn't a "new" idea. There's tons of Englishmen who weren't born in England over the centuries. Rudyard Kipling, George Orwell, JRR Tolkien, Audrey Hepburn, Bradley Wiggins, Florence Nightingale, Sid James, Cliff Richards, etc...

    You're never right, you just have many varying opinions. Those opinions usually cover all bases.
