I think we in germany have a different view on patriotism and where this could eventualy lead to..
That is why many germans are not proud of there country. And in my opinion this is a positive thing.
Nations are not real. These are inventions of powerful people to seperate the poor and make money from tolls... Borders are just in our head and this is the real negative thing.
I agree about extreme patriotism, agree about borders being in our heads too; but supporting your country during World Cup and genuinely being proud of the victory is a healthy thing, I think! I can't help it, but I was proud of my country and the players )) haha although I was glad for Croatians as weel as for French!!!
Yeah I agree with you :) to be happy about a victory of others is a good thing and shows empathy :) It is just an side aspect that these are national teams. .
I am totally not into soccer so this is not a event I have fun but I like that others have fun :)
