Similar to Ashley Phillips with us (it hasn't happened yet) but its a bit sickening that these players suddenly have pangs of hiraeth (or whatever the Surinamese version is) only upon the eve of a world cup.

Sickening is a bit harsh. The opportunity to play at a World Cup has to the pinnacle of a professional footballer career along with playing in an European cup final.

Anyone given the chance to do so would find it hard to turn down. I'd suspect they'd be lying to themselves if they said they wouldn't.

I see no merit whatsoever in playing at a world cup for a country that in reality you aren't particularly familiar with or have that much affection for (Piroe has had years to commit to Surinam). Let alone also playing zero part in the qualifying for said tournament.

individual achievement ahead of being actually proud to represent nation goes against the whole ethos of international team sport.

First whiff of a call up and you'd be all over it.

Listen up, even the mighty England would have no hesitation of calling a player up if he was good enough, even if said player was born on the moon, facktamundo...

 

[Malaga]

He's been called up to the squad, never getting in the Netherlands team, dad from Suriname, no brainer, don't see the problem

Because you would.

It's a no brainer. The chance to play at a World Cup and I'm biting your hand off.

Anyone turning their nose up at the chance to play in a World Cup needs to have a word with themselves.

Why didn't he want to play for Surinam a year ago?
