If he's been there for 3 generations, he's german.
By that criteria you would probably have half the team you had for the past 10 years.

where did you read that i wrote its better in croatia?

3? not 2? not 4? is it relevant how fast the ancestors tried to become a part of the country they chose? or how hard they tried not fit in and not learn the language and not get a job? what about those many cases where one parent is german and the other one foreign and immigrant? is it 1.5 generations then? can the waiting time be reduced by singing the anthem really f*cking loud and will it be extended when you're caught eating kebap or hummus? is it 3 generations for immigrants from each country or is it based on cultural / religious / skin tone difference? plz enlighten me...

well you called it your "home country", you "travel there all the time", you would "never play for germany"... it's pretty clear to me you "feel croatian" - and there is nothing wrong with it, i'm just asking you why you don't want to live in croatia then? you're like a girl staying at one guy's house because he has cool stuff but getting f*cked by another guy...

also, nice dodge on the topic related part that you don't know how any of those players feel and just make your assumptions based on their skin colour and names...

also i never said anything wrong about germany as a country or the living standards or the germans itself,i like visiting family and doing my vacations there,just because i would rather play for croatia than germany it doesnt mean id rather stay in croatia and therefor hate germany

i cannot know it ofc but its obvious,else they wouldnt play for other nations than germany in the end.and yea your first statement makes sense...not.but you ofc always know better.

well none of those have chosen another country yet, so basically you're proving me right - your assumptions were based on name and skin colour.

also, no need to make those generalised excuses - you're the expert here - if you're interested in explaining your choice do so, if not then don't - but don't give me such half-assed excuses like "ofc you always know better" implying it's my fault you can't explain yourself properly... that's kindergarten...

2 is not enough to feel at home abroad and get accustomed to & grasp the basics of either language or cultural habbits of the place, 3 might be too low - anything higher than 3 is okay.
If one of the parents is german (not ignoring the above rule when calling him german) than the kid has obviously dual citizenship and either country he choses should be and is considered to be no problem. But even then we fall under that rule above.

I like germans and have no problem with them being of foreign background/ancestry. Problems start when they try to take advantage/exploit something as stupid as nationalism and register for the Germany squad.

Afterall George V Of England was of German ancestry.

ok,end of discussion.

"taking advantage of" and "exploiting" something is what you think we take in all those immigrants for? for our football team? don't be ridiculous. they all learned to play in german teams under german coaches - what countries like the usa and turkey do is the real "exploiting" - they take the talented players we trained and exploit that they have a 2nd citizenship to buy them for their countries - those players never played in turkey / usa, those countries did nothing to make them the players they are...
