So I thought it was gonna be a 2-0 stomp so I didn't bother watching the second game. Now I have hope EG can pull the upset.

Oh stfu

Oh no, Americans are cheering for an American team, what a stupid, immature thing to do.


It's not the fact that they're cheering, it's what they're cheering. Chanting for a team is okay (to an extent) but chanting for a country makes the game into something it isn't (only 60% of the team are American anyway). It's a hostile atmosphere for the Chinese teams (the two countries are rivals - they're aware of it, they're not at fault if they find it uncomfortable with those chants) and it's a little bit weird.
Doesn't bother me, I'm just saiyan.

And now you're extrapolating something completely ridiculous out of something completely innocent. By the way, you're not supposed to feel comfortable playing away from home, that's why people talk of things such as "home field advantage." This is completely normal in sports.


I'm not extrapolating at all, but nice try using a big word.
"You're not supposed to feel comfortable playing away from home" - supposed to? 'Supposed to' doesn't come into it. It's natural to feel less comfortable playing abroad, but by your 'supposed to' logic[ they're justified in making the Chinese teams feel uncomfortable on purpose x]

Bottom line is this. The teams are not there to represent a country (like I said, EG is only half American anyway - give me the Denmark chant!) and the crowd reminds me of the Indian fans when they hosted the Commonwealth Games and tried to put off opposing teams. It's just weird, IMO.



First of all, the bolded is incredibly presumptuous and makes a ton of huge assumptions based on things you cannot possibly know. Thank you for also insulting me by even implying "extrapolating" is any out of the ordinary word at all. The crowd cares about cheering for an American team, they don't care about the Chinese team in particular, because they care about EG winning. You're going far out on a limb to say they're trying to manipulate the pChinese team. The fans aren't obligated to cheer any specific way and cheering for a country isn't very non threatening especially when it's an incredibly non offensive chant. This whole thing is very simple and easy to understand.


Stop. Read my next post carefully. You're the one making presumptions.

1. I didn't say extrapolating was out of the ordinary, but that you used it incorrectly. I didn't want to offend you, was just playful.
2. I didn't say they were trying to manipulate the Chinese team. I said that the chants create a hostile atmosphere. I didn't say it was intentional, but I do think it's something fans should be conscious of.
3. The bold text was not presumptuous, it was logical. You said a team playing abroad was not 'supposed to' feel comfortable, by which you imply that other people are 'supposed to' make them feel uncomfortable. I know this wasn't what you were trying to say, I was once again picking on your use of language.

Cheering for a country in this sort of situation is generally considered bad form (except in the US, apparently) because the teams are not there to represent a country. It's down to different cultures, let's forget it.

You were pretty much just like the Liverpool supporters when they won the Champions League against AC Milan. You missed 2 pretty damn amazing blackholes.
