yea I was referring to you about supporting Australia/Italy. on that debate, I dont mind which team people took as long as they stuck by one and didnt jump from bandwagon to bandwagon depending on results.
Deep down I wanted Australia to do well, it's home for me and my future generations, also the Italians irritated me a bit, they've flopped so many times before by being over confident and this time they showed the right spirit but more out of spite than anything else.
but if you ask me about 82 it's a completely different thing. Everything was different in football back then.
fair enough. I love my international football though. Think of international football like your family. you dont choose what country you come from and there are rivals in the team (Totti, enough said) but you want them to win, just so you can take pride in your country being the world's best.
club football more like your mates in a sense cause you choose which club you support yourself. fight together each and every week against hated rivals, and there's a lot of history involved, plus political ideas, corruption etc. there are the true fans who support the club of their heritage and gloryhunters who inly support the big clubs or bandwagoners who move from club to club.
actually that was a very profound comment to be made at this time of night
