Christabel Oduro

  • Reviewed: Infrastructure Client Group
  • Comment: ALT0 is interesting because not many people play soccer/association football for 2 countries (if you play in a competitive game for one country, then you can't play for a 2nd country). ALT1 is interesting as it's an unusual mix of countries. Using soccer rather than football in the article, as that's the term used in Canada

  • Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
  • Template:U Many people are dual nationality, but not many play international soccer (football) for two different countries, because FIFA makes it difficult to do so. Although saying that, she's only "expressed interest" in playing for Ghana, if she'd played for them I think it'd be an interesting hook
  • I don't personally think playing multiple sports at school is that interesting- many athletes have done so- however I'll make an alt hook for her family:
  • ALT2: that Canadian soccer player Christabel Oduro is the cousin of Dominic Oduro, who was played for Ghana? Joseph2302 (talk) 16:50, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this. Admittedly, I know nothing about soccer, but the first hook is well written and I think it will get lots of hits. Template:Ping I'm wary of hooks that talk about family relationships rather than the subject himself. Yoninah (talk) 21:28, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
    • Template:Ping Dual-nationality players are rather common in international soccer, as FIFA allows you to play for the country that your grandparents hailed from. Having two players in the same family playing for different countries is a bit unusual, as there are only a few other examples (like half-brothers Jérôme and Kevin-Prince Boateng).

  • According to [2] (tab National Team), he's played once for Ghana, in 2012. So to imply he still plays for the Ghana national team seems incorrect to me. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:55, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Template:U That's because there's a typo in the hook, I meant "has played". Although "once played" would work too. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:07, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks. Restoring tick per SounderBruce's review. Yoninah (talk) 11:45, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
