They should not even consider themselves to be Canadian at all. Thats about the most unpatriotic thing an athlete can do is play for another country just because they have better shot at making the world cup tournament.
Honestly it is a disgrace.

That seems overly harsh.
Although it doesn't fit with a guy like JDG I can see why a guy like Hargreaves would prefer to play for England considering the schedule that Club soccer has and the much easier schedule that a guy would have playing for a Euro team like England would have for the player. Add to that the improvement in development then if you have the chance to start for a power European team makes sense.
For a guy like JDG who likely never plays a real role in a legit tournament for Holland it doesn't make much sense.
