Belgium

Why do you read that paper if Inter is on limelight?

Better than watching our games.

I don't know where you get this info from maybe you should stop reading daily mail b.s. Kosovo is not a heritage or a nation. It is a multi-ethnic territory which the majority of people are of Albanian descent. It is not a language, ethnicity, or a heritage.

He is not going to wait for Kosovo, forget Daily Mail and the British press that links to every random team because they copy paste from random unreliable sources.

I am telling you from sources I have near to his family and actual interviews he gave to Alb stations, that before World Cup Belgium are the favourites, and if he doesn't pick by then, it's 1) Albania 2) England 3) Belgium.

Fifa say Kosovo can now have a football team. May be significant for Adnan Januzaj, who is the son of Kosovar-Albanian parents.

Monster theyre just trying to make headlines since they know people in england want him in their NT. There isnt going to be a kosovo team, this team is only like catalonia, just for friendlies. The country needs to be accepted in UN first and god knows when that is going to happen. In an interview his dad diplomatically let this option down saying its very difficult.

From what Ive seen I think England and Alb have a higher chance than Belgium after World Cup. Atm Belgium seems more likely before tournament.

If not then its either Alb for his background or Eng for sponsorship deals etc...

 

[monster09]

England don't have a chance at all. He should stay for 3 more years to be eligible IIRC

 

[Fapuccino]

One of his cousins mentioned it, and yeah they do. A lot of sponsorship deals riding on the line.

 

[Fapuccino]

KevinB or anyone here. What are the chances of Nainggolan making the World Cup squad? He wasn't followed much at Cagliari.

 

[KevinB]

Depends on how much he plays for Roma. But the way it seems now, his chances are quite high, since most of Belgian players like Defour,Chadli, De Bruyne, .. don't play at their current clubs.

 

[Trublue]

Radja should go to the World Cup. He's in good shape, plays alot and in my opinion he's better than Steven Defour.

 

[KevinB]

Radja deserves to go to WC nevertheless. But I still think Defour is better. Especially technical. Radja's more a destroyer, who has his stamina and power. While Defour is a builder, with the technical aspect and vision.

Also Defour has proven you can count on him for defensive duties. (Against Croatia - Modric, Holland - Sneijder, Wales - Ramsey)

United Report ‏@UtdReport 7m

Marc Wilmots (Belgium manager): "I have received official confirmation that Adnan Januzaj will play for Belgium for the rest of his career."

 

[Fapuccino]

Well good luck to him, he has a bright future.

 

[Pajo]

As expected. And very smart move as well.

 

[KevinB]

Think getting quarter finals should be minimal expectation though.

Like I said in the Premier League thread, it'll depend on Kompany and Vertonghen. As long they don't get injured we won't be in deep shit. Especially Kompany.

w/e man. I didn't even care about his playing contribution. I just wanted him as he could have been a magnet for our diaspora to build a team like Bosnia's. Bosnia got lucky that their best player was born in Luxembourg.

Now we're gonna see the Mustafis, Avdijajs, leaving too in the future, Shaqiri and Januzaj weren't the first or the last.

Im more pissed at the Swiss bunch that weren't born in Switzerland, like Behrami who only spent 10 years of his life there, from 6-16. Januzaj at least has never lived outside of Belgium/England.

its not national football though, people bend the rules however the fuck they want them how it fits them . World cup should be teams recruited by nations cup it loses meaning.

sure you lot will start bitching as soon as other nations start leeching of talents of your nationality, but you will be first class hypocrites and of course you will bend the rules and make it seem that its different from me. whatever.

 

[Fitzy]

No problem with Januzaj choosing his country of birth.

sure you lot will start bitching as soon as other nations start leeching of talents of your nationality

That has already happened. Australia lost Josip Simunic and Joey Didulica to Croatia. Tim Cahill played for Samoa as a 16 year old...

Meh.
