Really surprised at this. I don't know if anyone noticed at the time the game was current, as he wasn't a particularly well-known player then, but Nacer Chadli is listed as Algerian.

Every information source available says he was born in Belgium but has dual nationality with Morocco (for whom he played one international friendly) because of one of his parents. He seems to have no connection with Algeria at all, when you put in 'Nacer Chadli Algerian' all you get is reports of the World Cup match between Belgium and Algeria.

Don't suppose it matters so much now as not many of us are playing FM2009, but it's still surprising. It's almost like they guessed!
