Unnamed Trialist Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 If the Canadian embassy staff in Spain is advising this, then I assume that Spain is much more informal in requiring you to renounce your citizenship, possibly taking people's word for it. Germany requires you to actually prove you have renounced your citizenship from whichever countries you hold citizenship by showing a legal paper signed by a judge that you have done so. In this light I highly doubt any embassy staff in Germany would not fully inform someone of the results of officially renouncing your citizenship. There is also a bureaucratic process of renouncing Canadian citizenship so I really don't think there is any way Nsaliwa did not know what he was doing or the consequences of doing it. Maybe he didn't realize what the consequences would be in regards to his FIFA international status although even here if he didn't find out this beforehand he would be irresponsible and not so intelligent. The reasons he had for doing so were basically the same as the other guys who didn't play for Canada, to further their careers and earn more money. The difference is that he went much further than the others in doing so, not only relinquishing playing for Canada but also relinquishing his Canadian citizenship. I think he is actually the worse case of all of the traitors. It is also interesting to wonder whether some of the others would have switched allegiances if losing their Canadian citizenship was one of the consequences. At the very least it would have made the decision more difficult and costly. I just assumed he had first taken German citizenship and they had then obliged him to renounce his Canadian passport. But if as you say it was the opposite situation, that he first went before a CDN judge and renounced his citizenship to then advance his German application, I have a lot less sympathy for him. Formally reject your birthright? Not the sort of player for me, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SthMelbRed Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I have a lot less sympathy for him. Formally reject your birthright? Not the sort of player for me, sorry. He wasn't born in Canada. He moved there as a young child. If he'd been born Canadian, he'd still be playing for Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck in Boston Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 He wasn't born in Canada. He moved there as a young child. If he'd been born Canadian, he'd still be playing for Canada. Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 Why is that? He'd be able to get a Canadian passport re-issued without going through the citizenship process again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 He'd be able to get a Canadian passport re-issued without going through the citizenship process again. And also he'd be able to play for Canada on the fact he was born here alone he wouldn't even need a passport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 And also he'd be able to play for Canada on the fact he was born here alone he wouldn't even need a passport A valid passport must be shown prior to the match when playing in any FIFA sanctioned official competition. That's why he can still play for us in friendlies, but not in official matches such as the GC or WCQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am reading this as 26 games played BY HIS CLUB and zero played by Rivas himself, but if anyone knows something I don't then please let me know.

Blackdude Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 "Greece Tam Nsaliwa - AEK Athens (Greek Superleague) (1)" This may be an unpopular opinion, but why would a person who officially renounced his Canadian citizenship be on this list? Yeah, yeah marriage and all. I have no problem with him doing what he needs to do for his career or marriage, the same can be said for others. Same as Lord Black, go to hell. I live and work in the US and will never take out citizenship (even though I could), let alone renounce my country. REMOVE him from this list. At least **********/Vitoria/Fernandes/JDG2/insert name here didnt go that far. Rant over. I'll give a better reason to pull him from this list. He is not anymore with AEK. http://www.aekfc.gr/index.asp?a_id=322 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBird Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Gianfranco Carbone - AC Milan (Serie A) (1) Youth I can confirm this as to be true, however apparently he requires still the following- paper work, inculding euro passport and his parents require to be residence in Italy in order he can be part of the youth team. from what I understand he is 1995 player and yet is not signed offically to play. The rules have changed in Euro now a player under the age of 18 A club cannot sign a minor and is not permitted to play anywhere in euro without the parents being residents of the area of the club or province in which he is signed. But just maybe not 100% on this maybe a guardian could take the place of the parents provided they have residence. maybe someone wished to comment but this is my understanding of this player at this current moment.

jpg75 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 Stefan Dancetovic is obviously not in Beograd as he came on as a sub for the Brantford Galaxy against PFC during the CSL semi on Friday. Robert Adam is no longer at Hearts: http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/page/Squad/ReserveTeam/0,,10289,00.html Can't find anything on either Birnstingl being signed with Dundee and since he was on a 3-month trial i'd say he's no longer there. Liam Connon is no longer with Ross County U19's and the club has not signed a single Academy player in 3 years and has no reserve squad so he's off the list too. On a telling note, Ross County youth players have their costs covered by sponsors and those sponsors are listed beside their names on the club website. http://www.rosscountyfootballclub.co.uk/squad/under-19s/under-19-squad-list.aspx http://www.overthebridge.info/viewthread.php?tid=9106 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran it through a translation and it came up saying Croatian-Canadian and a bunch of garble. http://www.soccerway.com/matches/2010/10/16/hungary/nb-i/bfc-siofok/zalaegerszegi-te/956732/ October 16th he was on the bench as an unused sub.
