What are your thoughts on the current eligibility rules for players not born in the country they can represent? A lot is made of the number of Welsh and Irish players over the years who are “just playing because they’re not good enough for England”. Believe the limit for family is grandparents but there’s also residency rules (which I don’t think any of the British countries take advantage of but other countries do) and now there’s the debate over players who have played for one country in a friendly but then switched to another (Declan Rice and potentially Harvey Barnes are current ones) but Diego Costa did it. Pretty sure Jason Cummings did too. Are the current rules fine? Should they be tighter? Looser?
