Seems his choice comes down to either Canada or Jamaica.
If you have a bit of time read through this thread; at one point it seemed he might be eligible for the USA, but it turned out he isn't.

The Canadian FA has been on him. He payed in the provincial oDp program and his brother plays for canada u20. He has been ducking them, I think he could play for Jamaica if approached the right way.Comment

he mention yesterday that he wants to play for England
Junior Hoilett after scoring 2 goals in the relegation battle with Wolves...stated that he could see himself playing a role for England..forget about him wanting to play for Jamaica."Everyone who knows me understands that I hold no prejudices in this regard....In the family atmosphere of the {RBSC}telethon, I forget that not everyone knows me that well." ....attributed to Jerry Lewis....Comment

well first he is not english. He has been there since 14 though, so I dont know how the immigration thing works. But if he things he is going to play in front of gerrrard and company he is a bigger idot than I first thought.Comment

Firstly, it was the interviewer that asked him about the possibility of him representing England and he said he is focusing on Blackburn then the guy pressed him with another question and he said laughingly that he will definitely "consider" if England calls... http://www.skysports.com/video/inlin...585399,00.htmlLast edited by Lee; March 11, 2012, 11:55 PM.Comment

Btw.. for the time being, only Canada and Jamaica can provide David Junior Hoilett with International football. As per England special rule with Fifa, Hoilett is not eligible to represent England.
that rule is. England doesn't accept neutralized players for its senior team unless they've been educated in the English education system for 5 years before they turned 18 years old. Because he spent sometime on loan (2 years I think) at St Pauli in Germany, he didn't fulfill this criteria, therefore he is not eligible for England until they changed that special rule...
* Trust me when I say that he was going to represent Canada but his father said no "A JAMAICA MI SEH". Jamaica didn't call and his father was starting to get "fed up" and was going to allow him to go for Canada but then Burrell made the phone call so now he is pushing him to Jamaica again. Hoilett is coming around and the Canadian fans are speeding up things with their constant disrespect and bitchiness...OJ DON'T BE LIKE ONE OF THEM AND START DIS DI MAN because he will soon be in BLACK GREEN & GOLD but not if unuh start dis di man zeen..Comment

Well the youth is highly rated and seen as one as the best young players in England. His contract with Blackburn runs out in the summer and all theOriginally posted by Lee View Post
vultures are circleing. Bayern Munich, Tottenham, Arsenal plus a host of other clubs are tracking him and if he is good enough for those why is the good captain and the JFF dragging their heels?Comment

Is that also a reference to this rule?Originally posted by Lee View Post

Anyway, with both Canada and Jamaica starting WC qualification in June it seems like that should be even more motivation to make his choice soon. But let's see..."Donovan was excellent. We knew he was a good player, but he really didn't do anything wrong in the whole game and made it difficult for us."

No lee you got it very wrong. I know Jr. form he was 12, not dissing him. I am simple saying he should commit to whom he will play and not sit on the fence. For the longest time it was that he want his long term contract sorted before any decision. The play for England thing was new to me and unlike ownen Heargraves I dont see it.Comment

He could very well end up sitting on the fence and waiting to see how things take shape for the Hexagonal. In fact, if you think about it from his perspective, it probably makes the most sense to do that.Originally posted by OJ View Post
Let's face it: neither Jamaica nor Canada has the greatest record when it comes to World Cup qualification. So why commit to one of them now if he can't be sure whether they'll even make the Hex or not?
And then he knows that he could walk right into the starting lineup of either side. So it wouldn't surprise me at all if he considers it in his best interest to watch and wait."Donovan was excellent. We knew he was a good player, but he really didn't do anything wrong in the whole game and made it difficult for us."
