He's lived in England since he was a little kid though, did he ever try and play for South Africa or even talk about it?

Just found this excerpt from a pre-World Cup 2010 interview...

Quote

Despite being born in Cape Town, Stein himself insists he has no split loyalties. But for a man who sacrificed everything for the country of his birth, is Isaiah wearing the white of England or the yellow and green of South Africa as the group stages progress?

"It's England all the way for me but my dad will be wearing half and half," Stein said.

So I guess that settles that.

Why do they call him Isaiah?

[stokeriño]

That's Mark Stein talking about his dad, Isaiah. Sorry, that would have been clear if I'd copied in a longer quote.

Mark Stein: English. Thank you for the effort in clearing that up

His brother did win a solitary England cap in the dark days of 1984 as well.

Barkley doing shite tackles in a derby??? THAT NEVER HAPPENS

GET IN THERE MANE YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARD!!! 

[DavidMarrio]

Everton scored a goal like but who's arsed about that

CAUSE COUTINHO SCORED A BEAUTIFUL CURLER RIGHT INTO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER!!!!

Barkley should have had two separate yellow cards and a red card by now. 

[Hobo]

Ross Barkley finally gets booked!

[Baddar]

Barkley is a lucky man. Dirty twat.

I swear he lives by different rules. Yellow for anybody else? No card for Barks. Red for anybody else? I guess you can have a yellow. Been getting away with it for years.

Mane

Time for Origi to step up. He hasn't quite replicated his form from last year or that goal scoring run he had around November.

[Baddar]

Looked nasty but for Mane's sake I hope it was a precaution more than anything. 

And Origi has wrapped it up.

[DavidMarrio]

DIVOCK!!!!

Everton are the gift that keep on giving.

But can you lot stop trying to injury our players...dirty bastards.  Can't win a derby so have to resort to trying to injury people.  Horrible Lonsdale wearing bastards. 

[Nerf]

Koeman says he's "proud" of that performance. How bad are Everton usually?

Liverpool fans and their reaction to defeating Everton.

God forbid fans being smug and happy about beating your local rivals in a derby. It'd be the other way if Everton won and I wouldn't expect it to not be...

Especially in a city where your family, friends and work colleagues are all either a red or a blue....the derby is a pretty big deal here. 

[stokeriño]

Fuck off Palace. Three flares/explosions in the away end already. Throw those cunts out and ban them for life.

The main irony here is that none of you were actually being smug, but it is (as ever) all too easy to rile Liverpool fans.
