I nted that that is what Mexico and a few other nations using Brazilians in their WC sides do. But all the players in the German side has a perfect right to be there because of their ethnicity, place of birth or where they were raised. We can blame the EU too for allowing the free movement of member citizens from country to country as they see fit. It really isnt possible here because of our immigration laws, unless the player has family who are already citizens.
