It is very good, dual nationality is a factor of the modern world and, as the piece poitns out, Ivory Coast have won international tournaments rather more recently than England.

Complex issue, isn't it? Although one very certain, and unsurprising, thing we can see is that the villain of the piece comes from Norwich...

I've been reading a bit about this recently, and think Southgate's comments are very off with regards to '100% passion' etc - it simply does not understand the modern world and England as it is now.

As a national association we need to be a bit more ruthless with cap tying players - Chuba Akpom is training with Nigeria....this is a youth international who has had nearly 100 caps and all that time invested in him, how can you let that slide when he is still eligible for the U21s? But that is a separate issue

People without dual nationalities do not understand what it is like to genuinely have passion for 2 countries - a good friend of mine is English born, lived here his whole life and is a proud Englishman and has represented England at age level sport, but is also a proud Ugandan which is his fathers country, which he has visited loads of times, which he has done lots of charity work in etc. If he only has 100% of passion to give out then how can he have 100% for England?
