Although he is eligible to represent three countries at national level due to his multinational background, Okotie identifies himself primarily as Austrian.

  14. The title of this post should be "..... And plays "IN" China" not plays "FOR" China. There's a big difference as he plays for Austria not China but plays league football in China. But in your usual Agbero journalism style- you mixed up the two. You are making too much money to be blogging bad English. Hire some proof writers or editors abeg!
