        Neglecting him being cap tied to France and could never play for Spain, I feel like Spain might be even less aligned with his values.

            Aren’t players forced to keep playing with one team if they have two nationalities?

            Once they play an international game with a country, they can’t change to the other.

            Also, does Mbappe have Spanish nationality? How would he play for Spain otherwise?

            He scored a hat trick in the World Cup final and won the golden boot playing with France. If that doesn’t cap tie you to a country, I don’t know what would.

    Good. There shouldn’t be 11 a side men’s football at the Olympics either.
