Wow this is interesting! He would have done all this since na
they only play in competitions.
So because it’s obvious you can’t never be called up by England anymore, you now want to play for Sierra Leone. @30! Since 2012 imagine! Idiot!
You can’t try this with my country, guys will stone you. England has already destroyed a lot of international careers.
Your reportage is superb.
