Barnes - Austria

Post by pompeyclaret » Mon Mar 06, 2017 9:47 pm

I know he played for the under 20s once, qualifies through his grandparents, but never called up to the full national team?
Not interested unlike scotty or never got the call?

There's a very good reason for that scenario.

From The Independent

While his profile rose at Brighton, one curious detail of his Plymouth days is that he appeared once for Austria’s Under-20 side in a match against Switzerland. “It was good to have that experience, but since then I’ve never been back,” says Barnes, who qualified through his Austrian-born grandmother.
