Country:  | You cant expect people to give up their heritage.
Especially ones that go back over 2000 years.
As long as they are law abiding citizens, doesnt really matter. | |

Country: | What??? National Pride matters a fu*kload....
If u are born and raised in a specific country by native parents, be it England, America, Austrailia or Germany, and there is an International Competition of sorts, ie the Olympics, u should definatly be rooting for ur "Home" Team....
If ur an Italian kid born in Austrailia by Italian parents who came from the Boot, then rooting for Italy verses the Aussies is an OK thing, but u should be prepared for the ridicule, and in certain circles, the massive beating u'll recieve...
Imagine me sittin there in the stands, Lake Placid 1980, with a Soviet or Finnish jersey on.... Talk about harrassment...

Country: | Depends on the country.
The fans of some countries are more jingoistic than others.

Country: | No need for left wing spiel either....You don't go to a Philadelphia Eagles game wearin Dallas Cowboys crap. You're just asking for it. And if you have an attitude that its your right, well, you have no clue about reality.

I am an American and proud as hell of the United States but I suport the German National Team when it comes to Football and I wave a German flag at Football games where the German team is playing.
When I was a kid growing up in Germany I did not even know that the USA had a Football team because they sucked so bad so naturally I did not root for them.
Just because the US team has gotten better does not mean I am going to stop rooting for the German team. When the US team plays I root for them and when the German team plays I root for them. Whenever the German team plays the US Team I root for the German team but I allways stand up and sing the Star Spangled Banner before the game along with the US team. If the US team were to beat Germany I would not be dissapointed because I am American.
At the World Cup here in Germany (which by the way was amazing!) I rooted for the German team.
I guess I might be in a different boat though because I was born a Dual Citizen of both the United States and Germany so I am allowed to root for both teams!

Italy has winners in quite a few sports.
Did you buy Jacues Vileneuve CD?
Hes a great Canadian isnt he?
After all the times Italy was ripped off and had bad luck in major tournaments, be happy for your Italo/Canucks.

| After the time Italy was ripped off? Most FIFA tournaments they lost fair and square!
