A Gay Schoolboy 0 Posted February 4, 2013 I''m reasonable sure they only call up US citizens, so he''s not eligible unless he becomes one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi 0 Posted February 4, 2013 He''s said about this before, his grandad is American but he''s not a US citizen so can''t play for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted February 4, 2013 He can become one though. I am not an irish citizen, but my granddad is irish. I would simply need my mum to get an irish passport then i could and the i could play for ireland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That criteria is pretty tough.One of my closest friends is just like BJ and has an African-American grandfather, he looked into US Citizenship but to qualify for it like you state you have to have applied for it before a certain age - or at least your parents do. And it is something silly like 3months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Renskay 33 Posted February 5, 2013 What about all the Germans the USA have playing for them now, they''ve got about 3 or 4 playing for their National team now I think.Surely that means It can''t be all that hard for BJ to get a US citizenship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
