Otherwise it would take ages to know all of them.

I think it's only logical you can't get a youthplayer from a different nationality, unless you buy one.
Think of it, a club like Liverpool will not produce Spanish youthplayers, they can only buy some.
If some players do have a Spanish name, it is probably because they have moved from Spain to England when they were kids and have changed nationality.
And what if a Spanish national lives in Liverpool and just happens to be noticed by the team? It is possible for a team to train foreign youth players, and it is possible for them to be promoted to the senior team as a representitive of their country.
What are the odds?
By the way, if a Spanish national lives in England he would also have the English nationality, and it's easier to give him that English nationality than the other because he plays in England...
So, according to what you've just said someone born in spain and living in the UK is British? I don't think so. he'd be a Spanish National living in Britain, playing for a British team. According to what you've just said Henry is British, Ronaldo is British, even Tim Howard is bloody British...

No, I believe that someone who lives in England can ask the English nationality. I think it isn't obliged then?
Anyway, I see I was talking next to the point, the point is there's less chance a Spanish kid is going to live there and play soccer and be a talent and get promoted to the A-squad.
Henry living there is because he's transfered. Same for the biggest part of the players.

You seemed to have missed the point I was making. I'm not saying all of the players from my youth squad should be of a different nationality. I'm just saying that it's possible for some of them to be.

I know Henry transferred, but I'm using that to emphasise my point. Ignore the fact that he's in the UK because he's playing for a UK team.
If he'd moved to the UK before he had a professional career he could have gone to a local team as a youth player and promoted to the first team. The fact that he's playing for a UK team doesn't change the fact that he's French.

Who's to say that shouldn't happen in Soccerproject? I'm not saying it should happen all the time. I'm just saying that a simple line of code should make every twentieth or thirtieth youth player have a random nationality which is different to that of the club they're playing at. It's not difficult to implement and the result would be a wider variety of nationalities amongst players. This could be implemented with a couple of lines of code, if that.

Allright I knew what you were talking about and as I already said, the odds are very small something like that happens irl.
Fine by me if you want that in SP, but for me it's not worthy to implement it.
I can buy foreign players from the transferlist to have some.

They're larger odds than you think. As far as buying players goes, it's more the fact people want more variety in the nationalities because they believe some nationalities are severely unrepresented.

Then I suggest we try to attract more foreign managers to this game and try to get more foreign players on the free list (though there are already now).
A minor adaption will not do the trick I think (every twentiest or thirtiest youthplayer would give one foreign player in about a real year or even more)
and a major adaption there would still be quite unlogical to me. :wink:

Man that´s always your answer. IT DOESN´T HELP. Just make an option that players can choose the nationality and just don´t add the options that players can choose Belgium or Romanian nationality just for a month or two. That way there will become a balans between nationalities, well a bit!

That won't work, simply because for every UK manager I could attract there would be 10 or more Belgian managers signing up. There are many small. simple solutions. The option I suggested is just one of them, and it's simple and uncomplicated to introduce. Others have suggested good ideas too, and if they're also simple, why not do it?

Yeah maybe the whole Brasilian team became Belgium because then they don´t have to play the WC. Get real man, such things hardly ever happen.
And there already are many things we need, so now it´s time for the less important things like THIS ONE!!!
