well i defend myself because they think i support barca more than juve or i'm a gloryhunter or sth like that. The thing is i enjoy see the games, i enjoy see fener's games at home just because they fans are absolutely insane, they cheer them for 90 mins and i started to follow them more closely because of tuncay...i like steaua because that's the team i first like from my country, and i'll never change my mind about any of them. So of course any of them pale infront of the love that i have for Juve...some people here are accusing me of following Juve's match and showing that i support Juve than Steaua.
Nice post, Blondu.
There is absolutely no logic whatsoever in supporting any other country than your own. It's the whole purpose of the international game, to support your own nation. If nobody supported their own nation, intentional football might as well cease to exist.
I think all people who support other nations should pay fanboy taxes to the foreign nation they support. Then I might have some respect for them.
I don't think it's as easily cut-and-dried as it is for you, Andy. Because you don't have a family of Uncle Vitos and their goombahs, and because you seem to be from a family with roots that have long since naturalized, of course the alternative makes absolutely no sense to you.
But things change when, say, you have a wife who natively spoke Portuguese before she learned English. Or grandparents and great-grandparents you remember speaking Lithuanian and making Lithuanian food and celebrating Lithuanian cultural traditions when you grow up.
Or maybe you have a job or school that takes you from the country where you were born to other countries.
I don't think it's as simple as you make it out to be, Andy. Nationality is a complex answer, much like race can be a complex answer.
That said, I won't ever disagree with you when I can only roll my eyes at a bunch of Hong Kong-based descendants from Han Chinese who spew expletives at a player called up on the Italy NT because "they're not Italian enough". But if you you think that sort of national requirement is lunacy for players, how can you be so hard-line adamant that NT fans be held at a much higher standard than exists for players?
