Re: Australia Champions of Asia
Now I'm intrigued.
Using your example, born to English parents, but 'never set foot' in England (assuming you mean born outside England, rather than unable to 'set foot' through some disability) ... and you assert they should support their 'local side'.
Which local side do you mean? The side from the town their parents lived in? Or the side of the town in which they were conceived? Or some other 'local side'?

Perhaps you need a more concrete example:
Born in Paris to English parents, parents come from say Southampton, settled in Adelaide within weeks of birth, never set foot in England. In your (not so humble) opinion which is their local team that they should support? Southampton, Paris St Germain, or Adelaide United?
