Salomon Kalou’s hope of playing for Holland dashed

May 9th, 2006 | By: Ade Lamidi | 4 Comments »

Salomon Kalou the Ivorian and Feyenoord striker who opted to play for Holland has finally had his hopes dashed of representing his adopted country according to BBC reports.

This must be a blow to Salomon who opted not to play for his native country and must now sit and watch the World Cup from home. He would have had the opportunity of playing against his brother Bonaventure, a key player for the Elephants when Cote d’Ivoire meet Holland in the group stages of the World Cup.

He can still play for Cote d’Ivoire, right? I don’t know if the team still wants him in, but he would be a great addition.

Not sure he would be accommodated in the Cote d’Ivoire team now. He has already turned them down before. Besides there are just too many Ivorians who are talented and want to play for Cote d’Ivoire.

I think it’s too bad Kalou has distanced himself so much from the Cote d’Ivoire; they’re absolutely respectable and should taken seriously and I don’t think Kalou has done that.
