Mikel Arteta has gain nationality in England and dispite never playing for Spain, is still only eligible to play for Spain, how come?

 

[ianhall65]

he has made himself only eligble for spain

 

[Alcaraz]

He has declared for Spain so he cant play for any toher country unless he wants too,no matter how long he stays there

To be declared in the x country means that he's in the national pool.So if he has a 2nd nationality,he'll be chosen only in the country he's declared of.Of course,you can change it in the editor

I did use FMRTE to un-declare him (A) i think it has something to do with the "Has to live in country for 5 years" rule?
