Danny Welbeck's debut match against Ghana in April 2009 was marked by the reaction of part of the crowd who booed him. But why did they boo him? Welbeck's parents are both Ghanaian so Welbeck qualifies to play for the Ghanaian football team but he finally decided to play for England in a gesture that ghana's fans did not understand.

However, Welbeck has represented England in all stages, U-16, U-17, U-18, U-19 and U-21 so it makes sense that Welbeck's natural progression inclines him to play for England.
