[Football] Morocco go to World Cup with 1 Moroccan-born player in the starting XI

Switzerland always has tons of naturalized players. They have more Albanians than Albania does, and how many caps have they got from players whose families had to flee Yugoslavia in the 90s?

Also several of the England cricket team, and most of the RoI under Jack Charlton.

The England cricket team always get called out for this but the Aussies do it too (e.g. Matt Renshaw) plus what about the egg chasers?

Indeed. The Swiss team v Northern Ireland last night included:

Shaqiri, born in Kosovo (then Yugoslavia) to Kosovan parents.
Dzemaili, born in Macedonia to Albanian parents
Mehmedi, born in Macedonia to Albanian parents
Embolo, born in Cameroon.

Plus, actually born in Switzerland:

Rodriguez, to a Spanish father and a Chilean mother
Xhaka, to two Kosovan Albanian parents
Zakaria, to parents from Zaire and South Sudan
Akanji, to parents from Nigeria
Seferovic, to two Bosnian parents
