Not everyone likes their country of birth; some even hate the way their countries are run. I hate the way
most countries are run
The only one that truly seemed above the crap was Tibet, and now they've been annexed
I think as long as there are governments that make decisions we hate, there will be a need to support others in order to feel proud of your involvement. Those who love their country should surely outweigh such non-patriots, especially if your country is one of the "good" ones, yes? If not, that's a reflection of the trust your players have in their rulers, and perhaps even reason to doubt your own loyalties if the majority says no to the call of your flag?
I saw Tibet racing towards the Final and did think it amazing that a team with no real patriotic support to call on did so well; although the well-oiled pack of Ubers at the fore had much to do with this
I predict next year will be won by a real team from a real country. One year might see a non-resident team win, maybe it'll happen more than once; but national pride's a bigger draw than most things, so really the
patriots of the
WoF should be in the Final most years.
