Cheering for you country?

I don't think that is wrong. It's just a sport, and it is just natural that you would support the country that you came from. There is nothing wrong in that. For me, I don't mind if anyone support what ever country in sport. It is after all a sport, which is suppose to bring all nationalities come together. If you go back to Germany now, you might find that you are supporting American team.

No, cheer as much as you like too! And whatever team you want to cheer for. Haven't been living abroad for 26 years, I only lived abroad for 2 years, but in those two years I actually followed how Norway did in sporting events etc much more than I do when I'm at home. I did stay away from Norwegians those years though, especially at big sporting events or our national holiday. Many tend to get terribly drunk when we're celebrating, and I found that terribly annoying when noone else was drunk. Except of course the Swedes and the Finns (and the Brits). Anyway, I think you should go on cheering for Germany :-)

No, that's not wrong to me. Even if you will become American Citizen, your blood is still German. And no matter how long you live in a certain country not your own, you will never forget the place you came from and your loyalty is still there. Like me? I am from the Philippines. Even if I am now in America but still my heart belongs to the Philippines so therefore I am always loyal to my fellow Filipinos. My heart goes with them.

It is quite natural and normal.Your motherland is Germany and you are just living in America for any purpose.And you have all the memories related to Germany,your mother country.How can somebody expect you to forget all.It is not a sin or crime.Just carry on.

I agree that you should always support your roots! And id support germany if i was you as they are better then usa :p

I think we should be supporting the current country unless its just a temporary stay. We should respect the culture, games and anything related to the country we stay, may not be the same country we born. What I said is that we are supposed to follow but this is hard to do, I am Indian and if I turn to be citizen of some other country, India would be still my first love. in theory its easy to say that we sould love current country but not always practical.

Hi, missybear. There is nothing wrong with cheering for your country. You are from this country and your heart will always remember this country too. You have done nothing wrong. Cheering is okay.

There's nothing wrong with that. You're just cheering for a team. There's something terribly wrong if for instance You're a german soldier and you killed another german for americans.

Hi missy bear: I don't think it's wrong. I mean you love Germany because it was the country were you born and you have this affection for you country and you can love America at the same time. There's nothing wrong on this and I think you don't have to stop loving the country where you came from just because you live in America and just I have heard somewhere, you'll never forget home. Thanks for sharing with us your thoughts. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

I live in England now 6 years, and I plan stay here for long time. when I will be old maybe back to my country. I still to cheer my country but cheer England too, if play together I more for my country. Maybe some day will change who's know

yes as such this wrong but one cant forget their mother land that is also true.

Nothing is wrong. Germany grew you up and educated you for 19 years, it's owned that you cheer for Germany. I don't know whether I said above conform west culture. In any case, I'll never foget I come from China, no matter when and where I am.
