You make little sense.

Firstly, you make, yet again, a highly emotive and political judgement by stating that
"they have no right to support a nation..." Why?

Secondly, people support their national team as a matter of course, except the few exceptions and they have that right to support another team, as much as those who have the right to support or not to support their team, for instance, the vast majority of Americans who have no idea what the World Cup means, and that their World Series is a joke.
hows the world series a joke?

Again, nationality is a very simple topic. You either are, or you aren't. You can waltz around all day claiming that you're an Atlantic Walrus, but while you may have the brain power of one, you're still not a Walrus. If you're not a citizen of the nation you "support", you have no right to do so because you're trying to be something you're not.

It's not politics, it's fact. If you don't have citizenship then you shouldn't be supporting the nation. And you also have no right in wading in glory when there are other fans out there who actually did support their own nation.

Sorry, I normally like to debate but I'll give up there, because that was utter bollocks.

Bianconero, are you English or Italian?[/
I am what I am - I am my own special creation.
So come take a look, give me the hook or the ovation.
It's my world
That I want to have a little pride in - my word,
And it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn, `til you can say:,I am what I am"

I am what I am, I don't want praise
I don't want pity - I bang my own drum,
some think it's noise, I think it's pretty.
And so what if I love each feather and each spangle,
Why not try and see things from a diff'rent angel?
Your life is a sham, `til you can shout out:,I am what I am"

I am what I am and what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck - sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces.
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit:
One life, so it's time to open up your closet.
Life's not worth a damn `til you can shout out:,I am what I am"

I am what I am, am what I am needs no excuses.
I deal my own deck - sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces.
It's one life, and there's no return and no deposit:
One life, so it's time


Does that make me a Glory-Hunter?

I'll take that as a forfeit.

Not to worry, though. Nobody has ever provided a good counter-argument because one cannot. If you're a Korean dude living in Seoul, you have no reason to be supporting the Azzurri, other than looking for phony glory, of course.
