    strange story. The only brothers I can think of who played for different international sides are Christian (Italy) and Max Vieri (Australia).

    Saloman Kalu from Chelsea was promised a place in the Holland squad for the world cup in 2006 if he declared for them, which he did

    After they drew Ivory Coast in the group stages it turned out that he was going to face his brother, who plays for them, in the match

    Because of this the Dutch interior minister refused to grant him a passport so he couldnt play

    Could have been interesting, other than that don't know of any brothers who played for different nations

    Well the Rooney's are Irish on both parents sides, and are from the Irish Croxteth area in Liverpool. There's an article about it somewhere on here I think. He's so young yet though that it's hard to get excited, but worth a go I suppose!

    Needs to be put into perspective though, he was left go by Everton and is now playing well in the bottom league.
