Who would you pick? England, Scotland or Nigeria

Friday, 06 October 06, 10:38 AM · Comments (0)

Gabriel Agbonlahor has to make a fairly difficult decision fairly soon and it's going to be one that stays with him for the rest of his like; which Country to pick for international football.

His mother was born in Scotland and his father was born in Nigeria. He can also play for England, as that's where he was born. I had the same concerns when growing up, England, Ireland or Scotland; fortunately for you I never made it.

Agbonlahor will be playing for England U21's tonight but with new rules in place this doesn't commit him to England anymore so the window is still open for him. Peter Taylor isn't acting in a fair manner also but saying he wants Agbonlahor to be picked for the full England squad as sson as possible.

Talking ahead of the game tonight Taylor said "This cap won't tie him to England under the change of rules so Nigeria could take him. The lad is a great talent.

"The only danger might be that when he has finished with the Under-21s, if he is not picked straight away then he may be tempted to play for Nigeria. I recommend for the senior team to pick him as soon as possible so then he will be committed."

It's all well and good getting picked once but then what happens, he might end up like Lee Hendrie and never play for his country again. I'm sure Lee had other options as most people do or can these days.

Agbonlahor could probably pick Scotland or Nigeria and be assured of more regular action so why not pick one of them instead? It's a difficult decision for the youngster and one I'm sure he'll think about quite a bit.
