That list is not really the same though is it?

There's big difference between Englishman being born abroad of English parents or moving here as a child and gaining full citizenship than those who move here as a (for example) 26 year old professional Brazilian footballer who cannot get into the Brazil national squad.

Examples like Owen Hargreaves are acceptable as players who moved here as a youngster are too. However, players who move here to play pro football, have been in the country 5 years and cannot get into their respective national team LIKE DECO, LIKE SENNA et al is not really on and we should stick to our morals on that one.
