Horrible call.

Andy, you don't know the first thing about nationality. It's incredible how little you know of how nationality is given, what factors are considered and what happens to your citizenship when your state doesn't exist anymore. It's also very funny that you can't make the difference between a legal connection and a cultural one. Only someone who lives on a continent that is pretty much two countries would every be this stupid about these issues.

Can Podolski and Klose cheer for Poland?
I love your signature. The part that I understand, of course :D

the word "fanboy" is REALLY over used on this forum
Nah.

Take your shades off. Their 2006 football was epic. 10 different players scored for their NT, if that doesn't impress you then there's something wrong with you.

Barcelona style of play is impressive but there are some other impressive styles in football world.
Take my shades off? And what, put your fanboy shades on? :lol:

No thanks.

OK, so what sort of cultural connection do you have with Italy, Belgian? You have none, except for living in Bologna for a year.

You're not Italian, dude. You're not. This discussion is as dumb as those of religion. To me, you're like a Muslim or a hardcore Christian.

I picked Germany before the WC to win it all and have a great performance and I still sticking with my picks. They are joy to watch and play very simple/joyful football. The midfield has benefited from the absence of Ballack, and it is more fluid. Also Ozil is just sublime, and his touch on the ball is just pure sex, he still needs to work on his final touch

I have never claimed to be Italian. Not once. If I lived in Italy for 20 years, I wouldn't want to receive Italian citizenship.

But you're making a huge mistake: you see a nation is, more than anything really, something cultural. Citizenship is merely a legal matter. You say you can only support a country of which you're a citizen. That's quite odd. What makes more sense is supporting for a culture you actually like. I like the Italian culture, I don't like the German one. So I support Italy. I'm not supporting a legal body during the World Cup, it doesn't matter if I'm Italian or not.
