In the case of national teams no it's not a civic duty per se, but patriotism can have a lot to do with it when the sport is being played by players representing a particular country. Most countries give great honors to those who represent them on a global stage.

what if my #2 is my #16? asking for a friend

#16 is always #16. It’s the only exception to #1 or #2.

Solid list except for #10

You have 6, 8, 9, 10 all way too low. And 5 is WAY too high. I'll forgive 7 but not 5.

No, Europe is like the SEC of world soccer, I cheer for all other continents

I don't want to get into it again but Germany plays attractive soccer generally.

If you live in the USA and are staying here permanently you shouldn't be

I disagree. I’ve lived in a number of foreign countries, but wouldn’t cheer for

See that's different than the scenario I am explaining, I am talking about

J-Rod

Makes no difference, your home country will always be your home country.

chilango

Disagree. If heaven forbid I had to move to Mexico for the rest of my life, I would ALWAYS cheer for the USA.

I'm not saying if you had to, I am saying if you chose to

If I choose to move to Belgium to support my family, i'm still going to cheer for the US.

Would you expect US expats to renounce any American things just because they

Depends. Did they become citizens and renounce their US citizenship?

Don't think post I'm replying to mentioned anything about naturalization.

Nope. You should almost never trade out your original rooting interest.

Here are the rules.

If those are the rules

That's not comparing apples to apples...invalid comparison

J-Rod

3/14/19 5:47pm

Lame argument. Citizenship has little if anything to do with rooting interest.

chilango

3/14/19 5:40pm

Agree. But one can have an allegiance to a former country of origin, it should
