Oh no, Ka'abi and Badaavi are probably mixed with Iranian blood, but this guy for sure is genetically Arab. DNA tests and the works were done and they came up negative for Iranian genes.

So none of his parents, grand parents or ancestors ever married an Iranian? They continuously married foreigners even though they were living in Iran?

Yes, they either married other arabs that stayed in Iran after the islamic invasion, or they married transplants from other arab countries. All marriages took place in Iran, all child births took place in Iran

This KC guy is clearly wrong but is just re stating the same irrelevant point and wont admit it

Did the other parents, grand parents or ancestors of the other arabs they married ever marry Iranians?

All of his ancestors are Arab. LOL bro I know you get my point.

if someone has a link back to their old country it makes sense. Like Dejagah or Gucci or even Zandi...but in balo's case, he has never been to Ghana or i dont even think he speaks it. Even if he wanted to he would not easily be able to join the team. Also, Ghana could've approached him to be part of their squad but they didnt and even if they did, he is an italian born so they would have to get him citizenship to play for Ghana. Also, im sure because his parents left him, he does not even care for ghana to represent them....if ur parents fukked u over, u wouldnt wanna play for their country either. So what gives balo the incentive to represent Ghana?? so he can remember how his natural parents didnt accept him??
he did what anyone would...pick the country that has accepted him and helped him grow. And he became this good playing in Italy, if he was raised in Ghana he wouldnt even prob be a footballer...he'd be criminal or something lol

If you listen to him speaking Italian, you will notice that the structure of his reasoning is Italian.

anyway, unfortunately, he won't play the two next matches. he is injured.

No, I just wanna make sure there was no genetic mixing down the line with Iranians before I answer you. If what you are saying is someone moved to Iran but his next generations continuously married non Iranians then it would mean at no point did any offsprings receive Iranian blood. Hence the current generation would be non Iranian regardless of how long they lived in Iran.

So in your world, he doesn't qualify for Team Melli. I see. So this guy would only be able to play for whatever country his most distant ancestors came from, wherever that is.

That is correct as per your scenario he has no Iranian blood.

this debate between KC and the rest of the forum on Balotelli isn't neither the first. Check the thread on Euro 2012.

Brazil vs Uruguay kicks-off in 45 minutes. If Uruguay play like they did vs Spain, this will be a breeze for Brazil.

14' Penalty for Uruguay after Luiz fouls Lugano in the box off a corner!
Forlan has it saved by Cesar! Still 0-0!

[OFFSIDE_1]

Brazil just scored, but I feel sorry for the team that has to face Uruguay in the Asia - SA playoff. This is a tough team that is not afraid to bruise or to get bruised :-)
