Henrik Larsson is from Cape Verde, go and do research!!!

okay Mr research!!!!!!!!!,
lets see what wikipedia says about larsson,

Edward Henrik Larsson, MBE [IPA: 'hɛnrɪk 'lɑːʂɔn] (born September 20, 1971 in Helsingborg, Scania) is a Swedish footballer, best known for winning four titles in seven years with Celtic. He subsequently had a two-year spell at Barcelona, where he won two titles and the Champions League. After his contract had expired at Barcelona, Larsson returned to his home town club of Helsingborgs IF, and joined Manchester United on a brief loan spell between January and March 2007.

Prior to his retirement from international football in 2006, Larsson had won 93 caps for Sweden, scoring 36 goals. On 13 May 2008, it was announced that Larsson would once again play for Sweden at the Euro 2008 championships in Austria and Switzerland.

Happily, the link you posted is my own source too. Read down to PERSONAL LIFE sub-title and you will see this:
Personal life
"Henrik's father is from the Cape Verde Islands, off the coast of West Africa, and his mother is Swedish. In 1996 he married his childhood sweetheart, Magdalena. They have two children, Jordan (born 1997) and Janelle (born 2002).

Henrik still occasionally returns to Scotland to visit his long-time conditioning coach Dr Paul Bryson"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrik_Larsson

Nani is even more Cape-verdean, unlike Larsson,he was born in Cape Verde:

"About Nani:
Nani, whose full name is actually Luis Carlos Almedia Da Cunha has recently been in the news for his high profile move to top-flight English side Manchester United. Born in Cape Verde on 17th November 1986 Nani has become widely regarded as one of the most exciting youth prospects in recent years.

Although born in Cape Verde Nani migrated to Portugal with his family and grew up in Lisbon. His natural ability for football was apparent and quickly recognised and he was signed by Sporting Clube de Portugal."

Mr. Man, I dont talk but with facts. Point out the one that is not african or has no African origin and I will bring my proof to the contrary. Infact, BBC recognises this EURO AFRICA 11 selection and posted it on their website. Do you know more than BBC Sports?

C'mon, stop armschair criticism!!!

Quite interesting.
We learn everyday. I never knew this much about Henrik Larrson, but the other players mentioned all have african roots no doubt.

jose Bosingwa (Cape Verde)

Learn from the one that knows
