Lots of bitter England fans peeved about Woodburn's call up

Moved here at 5, same sort of story as Robert Earnshaw. Its easier to understand that choice thought because they have spent all their formative years in the country, and its all they know.

If Woodburn feels closer to Wales than he does to England, who are we to say he can't play for Wales? (and vice versa)

I, for one, am delighted that he's picked Wales and I hope he can go on to fulfil his potential

He's grown up a few miles from the border, and may feel Welsh. Woodburn could probably have chosen to play for England or Wales and he's chosen us. It's entirely his call and I don't think anyone would hold it against him if he was in two minds and wanted to wait. He's a young lad and I wish him all the very best!

Yes i accept that there might be a discrepancy in the border towns where people may be living as Welsh, but may have to be born in English hospitals.

Ya, then the cheeky barstewards come back over the border for their free prescriptions.

This is exactly what happened with Michael Owen whose family were living (and still live) in Wales (Hawarden), yet the nearest maternity hospital was Chester.

Woodburn clearly feels Welsh up to this point, including his shirt number as another poster has written, but he may still yet withdraw if he's had his head turned by his agent etc.

I trust him to make the right decision (Wales!!) and give something back to the international system which has brought him through to this stage. He clearly has enjoyed being in the Welsh set up, and the Euros could have been a big nudge for him, and others yet to become apparent.

I think it's important to note how playing alongside Bale (arguably the greatest welsh player of all time) will be a factor in the decision. He makes it a very attractive proposition.

Essentially Woodburn has decided to become a national hero rather than someone who's hated and abused by his own fans and press *cough* England *cough*

Bit harsh but the Cnut does sum up everything that is wrong in the modern game......with people of his ilk England will always fail, they have no leaders at all.
