The one that has always confused me is (for example) would you call Rooney the England striker or the English striker ?

A. England player = a player who plays for the England team

B. English player = a player who is English by nationality.

A is a sub-set of B. Both terms are equally correct when applied to Rooney.

A is not always a sub-set of B, for example in the case of Kevin Pietersen (cricket) or Owen Hargreaves (football) where only A applies.
