She qualifies for England under rules that FA's use all the time. I've no problem with it for the most part. She had a difficult path to try to be the USWNT keeper. Brianna Scurry was great, and would have been hard to displace. Her contemporary, Hope Solo, is essentially a women's Buffon (with anger issues). Even understudies to Solo like Ashlyn Harris are really good.
She's done well for herself.
