you missed my point then, what i mean is that not everyone is born in a country where football is regarded as a main sport, there are countries whos football culture is down low, and they just s--k totally, no chance to make any tournament.
I am not stating that a fan will support this nation in 04, that nation in 06 etc, but the fact that if you are from lets say Tahiti, Mongolia or some other country where football is just damn average, doesnt take away your rights to support some other country in football tournaments, aka there might live a die hard Germany NT fan in Mongolia who has supported German NT since 98.
