Like todays report in the Sunday mail, stating Kestus Iveskevicous had a good chance at the end to seal the game. :Hearts Man spotrun: Number 28, is his name. Although seriously last season one newspaper was reporting that Bruno Aguiar was French and Julien Brellier was Portugese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still stupid to say he's costa rican though if he was in fact born in france. Just because someone is born in a stable doesn't mean they are a horse, or alternatively, if you like, just because you live in a stable doesn't make you a horse. Anyway, using your logic, there are many players who have played for Scotland who you would say are not Scottish - the likes of Matt Elliott and Don Hutchison who qualified through grandparents, most would probably agree. But you would also have to include the likes of Andy Goram, Richard Gough, Bruce Rioch, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad_Knows_Best Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Both Hearts and Sheffield United have his nationality down as Costa Rican right enough. So we have French, Ivory Coast and Cost Rican Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboJen Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 And the Sunday Herald calls him Hearts "on loan" striker. Their professionalism is astounding! Noticed that, and in another paper Jose Goncalves made a "rare start". Didn't realise journalism was the same as fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The xx Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 One paper after the Hibs game said Palazuelos was Greek. I think it might have been Scotland on Sunday, if I'm wrong about what paper I'm sorry =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c41rns Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Nade is half French, half Costa Rican. Was he born on the border ? I've never understood this "half " nationality thing? your nationality is that of your father is it not? not your passport , not split between your parents and defo not ... cause you were born somewhere! Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
