I've been told that the answer is 'no', that once you play for one country you are not allowed to play for another. However, FIFA does not specifically prohibit it in the "Regulations 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa" document. I also could not find it in the "Regulations Governing the Application of the FIFA Statutes" document.

1. Each association shall ensure the following when selecting its representative

team for the FIFA World Cup™:

a) all players shall be citizens of its country and subject to its jurisdiction;

b) all players shall be eligible for selection in accordance with the

Regulations Governing the Application of the FIFA Statutes and other

relevant FIFA regulations.

2. Any team that is found guilty of fielding an ineligible player shall forfeit the match

in question. Victory and the resultant three points will be awarded to the opposing

team as well as the score of 3-0, or greater, depending on the score of the match.

The FIFA Organising Committee is the competent body to decide in this regard.
