If u don't dil se feel the support for England, no one should make u feel that it is ur obligation to do so.<br /><br />It has nothing to do with patriotism.<br /><br />I have lived in the UAE all my life, so should I support the UAE every time they play Pakistan because I have spent my life in the UAE and not in Pakistan?<br /><br />That is wrong.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947332468863567271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-68322090300684835202009-07-05T18:26:58.169+05:302009-07-05T18:26:58.169+05:30Well Q and Ach ! that was the whole point which th...Well Q and Ach ! that was the whole point which the author was trying to make that the Indians living in England tend to associate themselves more with the Indian team than the host country. Sports is never an indicator of patriotism but its a symbol or kind of representation of the country.It may be flawed logic but not very naive as you pointed out. The fault may lie with the host country but if people start booing their team's its very surprising.Indophilenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-5044170452886539802009-07-05T13:30:44.749+05:302009-07-05T13:30:44.749+05:30Agree cent percent Ach!
