If you don't get it that's fine. But I and many millions of others will continue to dig getting passionate about "our" teams.

Duh.
I know how it is. I live in Germany after all. People are crazy about soccer.
Just weird how even people who don't care a bit about patriotism and such stuff are able to work themselves up about something so similar, but even more absurd than that.
