Oriel Romeu

Notice he played for Catalonia in their 2-1 win over Venezuela in Girona

 

Interesting to see what the response is from FIFA as Catalonia is not a recognised member of FIFA

Fair play to Romeu, he's a good lad who deserves recognition , but quite surprised Saints agreed to him playing in it if the game wasn't a recognised fixture.

Catalonia won't become an independent territory any time soon, Spanish govt / military police/ EU will see to that.

Like him as a player; like the sort of person he seems to be and now I like his politics.

There won't be any response from FIFA. Catalonia have been playing friendly internationals for over a hundred years. They don't qualify for FIFA/UEFA tournaments but they are perfectly legitimate as a representative team. Note that they play against FIFA ranked teams. At one point their results would have had them ranked 7th in the world.

Good for him, seems a decent and genuine man, quite a rarity in football these days

On his FB Page he posted about being back at his old school, and thought they had been given a few days off. This explains it.

Never understood the doubters. Cracking player.
