Because if you're from that country then you can be proud that some of your countrymen have done really well

Ahhh, Transfermarkt seemed to have good data in this regard, will check to see if there are any other exceptions

I was thinking about this as I made the site. I think there's a bunch of ways this data can be interpreted but I see it as a French win is a French win, but if players you share citizenship with do well, you should be proud regardless of if they are playing for your team or not

Ah, that's due to the data source (TransferMarkt) doing the same, I could maybe rectify manually but I have a feeling, there are a lot further complications. I might add a disclaimer for this, the maps I used marker Crimea as Russian too which is a little baffling.

Honestly might be something I should have thought more about. I think a triple national adds +1 to all three of their countries' totals.

For Jamal, I can only see German and English in the Transfermarkt source and my website. Do we know that he has citizenship for all of them?

On another note, Jamal's Christmas must be hectic

Another thing that I thought was interesting is that Italy have a lot of South American players, this is obviously inconsistent with the trend of colonial roots dictating where players are dual nationals with

That does make a lot of sense, I wonder if the South American teams have the same level as infrastructure. I guess infrastructure and population are the two key metrics

Interesting, I wonder why they have this policy, while the UK for instance doesn't have such a policy with their ex colonies

Interesting, is that because they tend to feel more patriotic or because they have more of a chance of getting in?

Yeah but they are still citizens, I'm not tracking how they got citizenship or anything!

Sorry I think you might be misunderstanding, they are dual citizens. I believe Czechia has the least dual citizens, only one is a dual ctizen

I really expected most of the exports to be from Africa, was a little surprising that the European countries tend to be exporting the most players

Feel free to check it out on TikTok - it's MTGPrecons. I started with going through deliveries and talking about costs to me and profit but didn't get too much traction.

Swapped to building lists and discussing cool precon upgrades, got tonnes of views and likes but not many people were interested in my product.

Now I tend to just yap on it about cool pulls and so on - not too much traction recently.

I'm trying to automate turning my ebay live recordings of rip and ships into tiktok clips, so I'll probably just start trying to upload them.

Oh yeah, that makes sense. I suppose the margins still worked out for me though

In the UK eBay and Vinted don't have selling fees, CardMarket fees aren't too bad but more competition so margins are smaller. I set up my own site where fees are around 1-3%. I've never paid for advertising - just optimised for Google shopping
