[Jeet]

i dont understand that though, especially when people who live here and were born here dislike england

dislike no.

passionate about their side yes.

[procricket]

Rp come on it anybody own identity to supports who they like Jeet obviously has many Indian Roots so supports them

What next should he go back to India because he supports them...

[johan95]

I have both a Sri Lankan and a British passport, and my whole family is Sri Lankan. Yes, I support England when they play anyone else, but I support SL primarily, and thus them when they play England.
I intend to support SL in the summer too.

procricket, don't make me try and sound racist, i just get fed up of people who live here and don't support the national team.

[johan95]

Those are your opinions, and you are perfectly entitled to them, but where you come from in terms of your family does have an impact on who you support. At least in my opinion.

[rp27]

i guess so, but why support a nation that isnt yours, and why support a team you cannot go and see

Just because someone lives here doesn't mean they have to support the national team, they did not choose to be born here/ brought up here etc did they. Be a bit more tolerant

Hey i get fed up with people out there not supporting our troops who live here but it a free world and opinions are thoose of the beholder and it makes our great country greater with the difference.

No it doesn't i guess, but to me, if you're english, support england, if you don't want to support your country of birth why live here

[johan95]

You can't always go and see England. The fact I have a Sri Lankan Passport shows I am from that country though.
So in my case I wouldn't suggest that it was valid..

You can't control what your parents do...I don't have the choice to pack up and move to Sri Lanka at the moment...

Because this country owes alot to Indians And British Indians  and he can do what he bloody well wants too

[roco]

[rp27]

i appreciate johans point, fair enough, but when people like jeet seem to slate england and be anti england all the time i wonder why they live here

[procricket]

meeeywwww

Jeet gets on my wick as i do to others but his passion and pride is unquestionable and something to be admired

Jeet does not dislike England He just loves India mate
