Someone keeps vandalizing Cesar Santin's nationality, he is Mexican not Brazilian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.166.145.255 (talk • contribs)
- Could you show a source for this? I have yet to see one that states that he is Mexican. Reverting for now. Tooga - BØRK! 02:51, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

- Hi Tooga, thanks for the reply. It is true that César Santin was born in Brazil, but he is a naturalized Mexican citizen. Santin was born in São José, in Brazil, to verify, click here: http://www.zerozero.pt/jogador.php?id=50243

- It is wikipedia's standard that soccer players be represented by their birthplace flag. However, those who are naturalized are represented by their naturalized flag. That is why when you look at Manchester United's page, Owen Hargreaves does not have a Canadian flag (he was born in Canada), but instead he has an English flag (the country whom he plays for). Podolski and Klose, both players of Bayern Munich, are not represented by the Polish flag (both players were born in Poland), but by the country that naturalized them, and whom they consequently play for (Germany, in this case). Since most of Santin's information is in Swedish, it's very difficult to find this kind of information. The only way I can verify him as a Mexican is when Mexico's national team coach calls him up for Mexico's next friendly (in March), in which you will see he represents Mexico, not Brazil. I will change the flag back to Mexico, and as soon as I find a credible source not in Swedish that confirms he is a naturalized Mexican, I will post it along with his biography. If you know Swedish I hope that you can help me verify he is a naturalized Mexican, it would help quite a lot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.166.145.225 (talk) 06:19, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

- Well, if Mexico's national team coach decideds to call him up for the next friendly, we can change it then. Until then his nationality should be Brazilian if a good source doesn't prove otherwise. See this interview on Kalmar's official homepage in Swedish. [1] Santin doesn't even mention Mexico and only talks about Brazil. "24-årige Cesar Santin föddes i staden Porto Alegre i södra Brasilien och just som de flesta brasilianska grabbar har han spelat fotboll så länge han kan minnas." Translated to english: "24 year old Cesar Santin was born in the city of Porto Alegre in southern Brazil and just like most of the Brazilian boys he has played football as long as he can remember." for example. I still haven't found a single source that states he is Mexican. Tooga - BØRK! 16:48, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
