i dont find that ridiculous at all. of course for countries that havent made the tournament, their people will support those that have. if Serbia had made Euro id cheer for them over any other team but since they didn't, I support France. infact ive been supporting france since I was 8 years old. to me they define what I love about the game and I've felt a connection to their team since I started watching them. i love their style of play, I love their attitude and I love their country period. but when they face my country (and they will in qualifers for the world cup) i will be 100% on Serbia's side.

its all in good fun.

Originally posted by kitchTA thank you man, +1 i dont know why people think im a complete idiot for making this thread, like i feel very strongly against the situation, and if you are really into soccer this kinda shit would piss you right off.

sure, it's annoying. especially in cases where it's clearly out of self-interest. but this isn't uncommon and Poland has "non-Polish" on their team, as do many other teams, right? I agree it's abused and the eligibility rules should be less lenient though.

If Poland won, and a non-Polish player was responsible for the winning goal(s), would you take much less joy in the victory or be apologetic for it? Would you feel "strongly against the situation"?

I'm not back-peddling here, but I totally agree with you and your perspective here.
My comment was regarding a very specific demographic of people. I don't know - maybe it's only because I'm exposed to a lot of that here where I live. These people know exactly who they are and they put on a HUGE SHOW of flaunting the apparent superiority of "THEIR" TEAM for whatever reason - bashing others and just going totally overboard in this very childish manner.

Have love for the sport - have love for your team. I just very much dislike fakeness and people who choose to "become" more italian or more portuguese or whatever during FIFA or UEFA.

ignoring them is part of growig up.

i got you. i agree those who take it over-board are absurd. and ive seen people out there who are absolutely clueless on the game and support a certain country for all the wrong reasons. I just dont take them seriously

Originally posted by Swamper I read somewhere that podolski wanted to be part of the Poland National team but he wasn't getting much attention over there so Germany scooped him up. Not sure of the accuracy of any of that but it's easier to stomach than seeing him as a 'traitor'.

they actually flat out told him "no, go away".

Poaching players is the norm... whats the big deal?

Look at France...

Thursday, June 12, 2008 Podolski laughs at Poland passport threat Germany striker Lukas Podolski has ridiculed a threat by a Polish politician to withdraw his Polish passport by revealing he does not even have one. The Bayern Munich forward was born in Poland, but moved to Germany as a two-year old and grew up near Cologne. He scored twice as Germany beat Poland 2-0 on Sunday, prompting Polish politician Miroslav Orzechowski to threaten to take away his passport. 'The funny thing is, I don't even have a Polish passport,' said Podolski in the Kolner Express newspaper. 'The Polish Football Association never showed an interest in me. 'Only when I played for the Under-21s and was in the public eye did they start to make moves.' Podolski refused to celebrate his two goals against the country of his birth and was seen consoling Polish family members in the stands after Sunday's game. Despite Orzechowski's comments, Podolski maintains he has and always will have a strong relationship with Poland, although he is fully committed to winning Euro 2008 with Germany, as he showed at the weekend. 'I made a decision for Germany and it was the right one,' he added. 'Still, I have two hearts beating inside me.'

Originally posted by loca I'm talking about the fact that Canada is chock full of many generations of Polish people. I can guarantee you that in a few years, a good portion of our international team will have ex-Polish nationals in it. Are you going to go on a rampage about that then? I wouldn't start crying if a Belgian national beat my team while he was playing for France or Holland. If that's where he has more opportunities, then all the best to him. Either way, I doubt you'll understand the point I'm trying to make so I'll just leave it at that, and laugh while you rant on the bitterbus.

There are practically countless internationals around the world that play for a country other than the the country of their birth. this whole issue has been debated for years and FIFA are rightful in their current stance to leave it unchanged. There are far more players out there who have spent less time and have less of an affiliation than their adopted country for which they now play compared to Podolski. at least in Podolski's case, he might have been born in Poland and raised in a Polish family, but he's been living in Germany since he was age 2. Growing up there and playing in the German youth system and in Bundesliga, that country is all he's known for virtually his entire life.

Ultimately as long as a player holds citizenship of a specific country, it is that player's prerogative whether or not to play for them. Each player makes that decision based on his/her own circumstances at the time. I'm sure a lot of Canadians are upset at the fact that Owen Hargreaves and Jonathan de Guzman have each decided to play for England and Holland respectively, but their decisions are their own and we only have our own national football association, like Poland with theirs to blame.

As a Polish-Canadian, you're obviously upset by what's happened, but it's no reason to attack the current system of rule concerning international players.
