Nothing wrong with being depressed when your club or national NT loses.
You follow your team from day 1, and you invest your time, passion, and many times money (Merchandise, match tickets, etc), it is only normal you'd feel upset.
One of my friends is a die hard Gooner, her bf is a die hard Liverpool fan. She didn't talk to him for 2 weeks after Liverpool beat Arsenal in the CL. Funniest thing ever, but then again, I understand it, and he didn't blame her either for it.

When you know your football, you understand it's passion. All clubs we support have a little something we can relate to, something we can call our own. If it's for it's past, your hometown, the area, political allignment or whatever. People connect to it.
That is what's hard for North American sports like hockey or baseball (with exceptions in certain teams) clubs, they get sold and bought over and over again. You have no stability. Also, they don't seem very passionnate (with exceptions once again)

It's something I fear many people can't understand.
I assume these two friends of yours are Canadian?

I can't understand that. How can you be so passionate about a club you have no relation to?

It's like me going bananas over the Detroit Mingers, or some other North American sports team. I have no connection to the place, to the team, to the people. Why would I cry if they lost?


I hate big club fanboy-fans. If you're from Manchester and a United fan, fair game. If you're from San Diego and you're a United fan, bad news.

I'm from Bosnia and I'm a Nott. Forest fan. :)

Then again, I wouldn't cry my tears out if they lose a game.

I'm a Lakers fan because I think they have cool jerseys, but I wouldn't give a hoot if they won or lost.

The real emotional attachment you have with "your" team cannot be faked. So hence I wonder why people can care so much about a sports team they never even actually saw play, been to the stadium, whatever.

I used to be a United fan when I was a kid. Regardless of anything, that would be why I would still be a fan. Then it's about memories and shit.

Also, some people bet money on games and that's another reason to cry :)

No, they're both Algerians.

His father worked in Liverpool for a while, so it passed down, father to son.
The other, not sure where the support comes from, but she's been a Gunner fan for as long as I can remember.

I'm obviously a Hajduk Split supporter for obvious reasons, I'm Dalmatian and it's the club my family supports, I like Portsmouth though, since Robert Prosinecki. I wouldn't cry if they'd lose, but I enjoy watching them and will give them my support.

But what if your favourite player/s are in a team far away from you? Does that mean you have no right to be a passionate fan of them ?

I cried in 97 it was I think when Juve lost to Dortmund.

I gives a fuck what people think of that. :)
