In the case where a player's national allegiance is different from his place of birth, the flag should represent his allegiance rather than his birthplace.
If the player's allegiance is not known, then the birthplace should be used for flags.
National allegiance generally considers these factors:
If a player has played for more than one national team, the most recent country should be used.
When adding a player with abnormal national allegiances, something like <!--plays for Team USA--> should be added next to the flag. This prevents the "switching back and forth" of birthplace flags and allegiance flags due to confusion.
Please note that some research may have to be done (via Google or news sources) to confirm national allegiance. If this is the case, it is probably wise to post a mention on the team's discussion page or the player's discusssion page.
