Fuck the UK national team and the ,morons that follow them! I support italy in international competitions anyway, i dont belief in the stupid idea that you have to be from a country to support or it/you have to support the team that represent the country you were born in.
There's a UK national team?

There will always be nationalism to some extent and I consider international sport to be a relatively harmless way of expressing it.

It's bad enough the amount of people round here who support Juve over their local team, never mind the people that support a different country insteadof their own.

It 's relative. Liverpool is more of a dream for me than a reality. Due to the geography of my situation the likelihood of me ever going to a Pool match (in England) is probably unattainable. On the other hand I've been to several US NT matches and I think that's what makes the difference for me. For you Aberdeen is right there, a part of your life both physically and mentally. It's accessibility makes it so much more to you, where I am basically looking from the outside in. If that makes any sense.
Perfectly understandable.

I struggle to comprehend how some people round here can care so much about a club that they have no connection to at all.

When my country scored the 2nd equilizing goal in the glorified training match again Man u the other day, i was screaming myself out. there is this goosebumb all over my body. i felt pity for all Malaysian that wear Red all over the stadium that day because they cannot share that feeling.. Manu score against malaysia is nothing.. malaysia score against man u ...wow.

it was a very nice feeeling. Juve is actually just a fantasy. in a way i was bought into their marketing. i envy actual turin people who supprt them.. because i chose to support them.. not actually belong to them...

Juve win Cl or my NT win World Cup....hell.. Nt all the way baby... Malaysia winning the world cup will be quite something :D

Sure. But we're talking about national teams. Whether you like them or not England is your national team. If you choose to cheer for Italy, then that's your choice. As for the discussion at hand your vote is obviously for Juve.:D

Now for a new question; Juve or Italy?
That's ridiculous. Juventus of course. People on here only support the Azzurri because of Juventus anyway.

The thing is though.. this question is very easy for me: Juventus is not part of my identity, or at least not as much as being Belgian is. If Belgium win it is much more my win.

This may be different to Andy for example. He was probably that weird soccer fan with the Juve jersey in high school. Made it his trademark. So for him it might be an actual question.
