Playing at a World Cup is viewed as the pinnacle by most professional footballers.
For many, that dream can only come true by representing the country of their birth. Yet some are eligible to play for another nation thanks to their ancestors or citizenship. In fact, there will be 17 English-born players representing other nations at the World Cup in Qatar - with the opening game between the hosts and Ecuador taking place on Sunday.
Poland defender Matty Cash was born in Slough, while Wales hero Jonny Williams comes from Kent. Of those 17 players, five of them played for England before switching their international allegiance. Here, Mirror Football takes a look at each of their careers.
