Actually I just took a closer look and Marin (Bosnia) and Trochowski (Poland) are born in other countries too. Then Aogo, Khedira, Ozil and Boateng all have dual nationalities so you're not way off or anything - I think outside of Cacau they are all raised in Germany and I'd consider them German though so it just depends on perspective I guess. I bet everybody on our (Canadian) national team could play for somebody else and I know we have exported close to 10 guys to other national teams who were raised here or are at least partially "Canadian".
