You have to draw the line somewhere, otherwise you'd have 20 nationalities and your best friend would be Maher. You can't just like their culture and tradition so you could say "we're playing a friendly match against Holland tonight". Are you Italian? No. Do you like their culture and kitchen? Yes, I do as well. Is it ok to say it's your team? No it's not.

Actually let me ask you something. I spent 20 years of my life living in Norway. In fact if I hadn't moved here a couple of years ago I would still be there. Would it be "okay" in your opinion to cheer for both Poland and Norway?
If someone starts to bash France would it irritate you? Or does it even bother you if they like that about Poland/Norwegia? If you feel like that with France then you can feel with 5 other nations. How can that be normal? If you were born in Poland and then move to Norwegia then I'd find it normal to feel like that to both nations but this?

It's perfectly okay to not understand. But I think in such a case it's very rash to condemn. "I don't understand how you can feel that way, therefore you are wrong." It's not convincing.
As a matter of fact it does :irritated I can't really say why but it always has.
Then too.

Do you share their history, language or ethnic origin? You don't belong to their people. Do they support you somehow, or can you vote for their president? It's one to think about it like "I'd like to see THEM win".
If it was ok then there would be just one world nation.
