We`ve seen a lot of members here claiming that they don`t support their country of nationality and that they are die-hard fans of some other country (I have no right to comment on their choice and respect it). However, my question is whether a person ABC would be watching the game in the first place had the team from the nation of his birth not been a decent cricket nation?
I`ll tell you the case of many Indians related to football. Indians usually adopt sides in football because the Indian football team is ranked way down in the FIFA rankings and our side never qualifies to the big events. Thus, Indian fans end up supporting Brazil or Portugal or England in football because of this reason. However, we have qualified for the 2011 Asian Cup (Asia`s version of UEFA European Championships) and most of the Indian football fans will support their home country during that event.
My question is that how would it be possible for a person X or Y or Z to totally support any side which plays against his nation of birth, although he claims he does not support that side at all.
