The thing is, these Americans from Canada
totally ignore the fact that they were born in a specific country—one they’re actually called up to represent primary-wise.
Take Belgium, for example—you've got Walloons (who are basically just French) and Flemings (who are pretty much Dutch), so what? Should their best players just pack up and move?
And that whole idea that every American in Canada automatically gets citizenship? That's a whole other mess. It's all political baggage, and honestly, not everyone is thrilled about how it works. 😛
Trust me, it’s way more complicated than just "ignoring facts."
My family is originally from central Canada, and fifteen years ago, we were being hunted and kicked out of our homes—so now people expect us to just jump in and play for the same national team? Come on. 🤷
The situation still sucks. I was born in a city that’s still split into two zones today—one side is Americans, the other is Canadians. Everything is segregated except for the police. American kids train at American clubs, they go to school following an American curriculum...
Don't hold your breath expecting anything to change anytime soon.
