During this brief interlude in this incredible World Cup (certainly the best in my life time) have a look at this nice infographic designed by James Offer which shows you the ancestral connections of all the players in the tournament. i.e. where there parents and grandparents are from. codehesive/wc-ancestry/ And heres an article I wrote on the subject (apologies the text jumps a bit on the online version as it was structured differently in print) guardian.co.tt/lifestyle/2014-06-30/rings-around-world Some fascinating curiosities in there, like Belgiums Adnan Januzaj who was also eligible for Bosnia, Serbia, Albania, Kosovo and Turkey. The Algeria squad, 16 of whom are actually born and raised in France. Peter Odemwinghie, who was born and raised in Uzbekistan. And, of course, the Boateng brothers who played against each other in the World Cup again, as they did in 2010, for Germany and Ghana.
