If US is playing china and there are members playing in ireland, then the ones in ireland should not complain if they play at 3 am
I completely agree with you.

Ok just to make it clear anyone can play in different country , just if u had ip from that country? no matter if u already choose another country to play , this sounds great for tyrant guys now they can play for any nationality they want ... good one .
The viper has some pretty cousins he intrduces them with the tyrant boys and they come across with a evil plan to commit fraud, riut jordan and slam get married with vipers cousin, they pregnant their new wifes and moved to norway
If you are American you give up allegiance to all other countries technically.Why are you guys discussing this? It is pretty obvious that you can have two nationalities. I have two passports - a danish one and a french one. Deal with it.
I dont think they done it because they feel they are American has i said before if Jason Fayt and Nick were playing again this year would they of went to the USA i honestly think not .
Just you wait..I dont think they done it because they feel they are American has i said before if Jason Fayt and Nick were playing again this year would they of went to the USA i honestly think not .
Last NC was one of my worst AoC experiences. I wouldnt want to play again with them. Would bring back too many painful memories.

So dual citizenship doesn't work with 'Murica. :D
A U.S. national may acquire foreign nationality by marriage, or a person naturalized as a U.S. national may not lose the nationality of the country of birth. U.S. law does not mention dual nationality or require a person to choose one nationality or another. Also, a person who is automatically granted another nationality does not risk losing U.S. nationality. However, a person who acquires a foreign nationality by applying for it may lose U.S. nationality. In order to lose U.S. nationality, the law requires that the person must apply for the foreign nationality voluntarily, by free choice, and with the intention to give up U.S. nationality.
If so what is wrong with wanting to win? Both Feanor and Melkor are strong players, It should be understandable they prefer teaming someone closer to their level instead of carrying a bunch of 16++ (no offense)I think people are not happy with this mostly because it seems that they only choose the USA for a better chance to win . I dont think they done it because they feel they are American has i said before if Jason Fayt and Nick were playing again this year would they of went to the USA i honestly think not .
Look Ryan Giggs one of the best footballers ever he choose to play for Wales and that decision ruined his chances of playing in the world cup . I agree you always want to play with better players but sometimes you just have to take what you got . I understand the ruling but i dont agree with it . And us noobs take no offence from players who mostly get carried by better players to be 18 19+ no offence
So if u have a dual citizenship couldn't you theoretical play for two countries, so for two teams at the same time?
i was born in mars and been living on pluto for as long as i can remember but yet i cant play in this nations cup
Nonsensical said:It is not about the money at all, its about being serious, in sports a player that is quiting his old nationality to gain other has a penalty, a penalty time being exact in order to play with the new team, the same should also be aplied here.
And gennete thats a fact in almost all countries, you should know one thing is citizenship and other the nationality, some countries use it different but the rule for all works like this: if you gain a new nationality,since it is viable in several countries just by living some years and aproving test, in this case you are not getting dual citizenship your are quiting ur previous nationality, ofc you can have both passports or even more, but for the country you just quit, you are losing the rights of being part of that country, in most of the constitutions or whatever the legal system they use, gaining a new nationality is a way to lose ur own nationality.
My doubt is, do they were americans all the time and then played it as irish? or do they were born in usa then moved away for sometime and finally back to usa? well being honest i don't care their lives, but one year ago they pretended to be irish, even they gathered a UK team to play for :?
Certain countries will allow citizen to hold more than one citizenship - as such, they are both American AND Irish citizens. There are various ways to gain citizenship.
You do not "lose" citizenship in the other country just by gaining another - once again, as long as both countries allow it. China, for example does NOT allow dual citizenship - if you gain Chinese citizenship, you lose the other, and vice versa.
As far as I can tell, Melkor and Feanor have American passports and Irish passports. These two countries allow dual citizenship AFAIK, so there is no conflict, and they should be allowed to choose which country to play for. Allowing them to play for the UK last year was probably not strictly by the book, but obviously they will not be able to play for the UK in the future - after all, Ireland is not actually part of the UK.
Out of curiosity - is actual citizenship the requirement? Or residency? Or even eligibility? Technically, I spent the first 4 years of my life as a Chinese citizen - does this mean that I would qualify to join a Chinese team in NC, if I were so inclined? As for arguments regarding culture, I have lived there, have a good understanding of the culture and language as well.
If you like, I'd be happy to explore how to write up the rules regarding participation in NC, Taff. I do worry that I would end up making it quite complicated, though.
Yai, my first post.
Anyway regarding nationality and citizenship, there is just no international law.
Each country has its on own law that generally conflicts with other countries.
For example according to Morrocan law and constitution, if you are born Morrocan, you are an inalienable Morrocan. Let's say you become Chinese. Then according to China law, you are just Chinese. According to Morroco law, you are still Morrocan.
And that's it. China can't change Morrocan law. Neither can Morroco change China law.
Also SouFire, in some (civilised 11) countries, getting the citizenship grants you the same rights as any other citizen, because of some constitution stating that citizen of the country are equal. In France for example, you are either French, or not French. That's it. No difference between French that are naturalised, or French born.
