What other nations could you play for if you were an football player?
I could only play for Ireland & Northern Ireland becasue I was born in Newry!
As for GAAAAAAAA and playing with countys not sure on this but Louth & Mayo, both parents from Mayo and so is all my roots.

Ireland (mum), Burma (dad), England (birth), Vatican City on religion? :) ........would probably have the best chance for Burma but wouldn't fancy being tortured if we lost a game so i'd wait until Burma is free before tryin out.
GAA-Cork, Tipperary or Londain :D

Only Belgium here, but wouldn't want a single moment to defend the colours of
- a corrupt FA
- a nation that's nothing to be proud of

....not only Ireland but England, Scotland . Not Wales unfortunately :( Cwmbran Town are my favourite team in the world cos they hang around with poncho and the likes....also Chris Coleman shat himself there a few years ago thats the main reason for their fame! :D :confused: Cwmbran Love ...Felix(the Cat) Healy has been offered a job there as Tony Mannion is their Cheif Exec. I am the majority share holder in the club > Craig bellamy is set to finalise a loan deal to Cwmbran from Blackburn at the end of the week and Fat Dolan plays up front cos hes an obese penguin and he works in a nearby McDonalds in Ballybofey . Also Chairman Patrick Keane of Doyles FC is set to do a Glazer and take complete control of the club....fans have reacted badly to this and have set fire to the club shop :mad: Ryan Giggs' bro Rhodri is our star playe cos he is proper scuppet init skinit to win it like anyway.
CWMBRAN TOWN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WINNERS 2007! :D

Ireland, Seth Efrika (my father's father was born to Irish parents in Capetown) and perfidious Albion (I was hatched in London). It'd be a cold day in hell before I exercised the latter option though. :eek: :D

At 27 i might have missed my call up for the Irish National side...(although I have been doing some interesting step overs on the Astro pitches at DCU so ye never know I could still bring something new to the side maybe untill McGeady holds down a place) That said if I get a call up to the US team I will have to take it ahead of WC 2006 to futher my profile on the World stage...however if we (Ireland) meet the US in the said WC I'm not sure I would give a fulsome performance :)

The GAA isn't based on county of birth or that of your decendants.
You can pretty much play for any county.
Think it comes down to owning a house in that county.
Sure Larry Tompkins is a Kildare man and Karl O'Dwyer played for Kildare when his father took them over. There are loads of other examples.

Yeah, i thought that was the case. The birth thing would be a bit discriminatory, given that people can qualify for other nations by residence.
I could play for Ireland, England and Cork initially, though if i bought a house elsewhere...

Football-Ireland or USA, my ma was born in the Windy City.
GAA-Let me see........ I was born in Dublin, I grew up in Wicklow, my da's from Kerry, my ma's from Waterford and I have grandparents from Kerry, Limerick and Tipperary.
I think that'd make it Dublin, Wicklow, Kerry, Waterford, Limerick or Tipperary. What a choice??

Zamunda or Parador. Zamunda is a fabulous African country with an elegant Royal Family, where Royal Penises are cleaned :D , though Parador is a corrupt, despotic South American state :eek: !!
