    That's a bit different isn't it? Those clubs doesn't represent the nation.
    We are at the grandest sports venue there is, and you're supporting the opposing player instead of your own country's player...why won't it not be considered unpatriotic?

    Well, in the last football WC, many Malaysians were either supporting England, France, Brazil, Argentina etc. Those were national teams. How come when Malaysia played at home during the WC qualifying rounds, the stadium were empty?

    And is patriotism judged on support of our national athletes?

    I pay my taxes. Obey and respect the law of this country.

    Were England, France, Brazil or Argentina playing Malaysia when those Malaysian supporting them?

    The stadium maybe empty, but I seriously doubt Malaysian were supporting the opponent of their own soccer team!

    No, but why support foreign teams like Argentina, England or Brazil?? Why buy those replica England, Brazil kits? I went to London last June and I certainly didnt see any English lad there wearing our Malaysian replica kit.

    Hmmm ... the football WC is the biggest tournament, if our fans dont show up to support our national team during the WC qualifying rounds ... something just dont add up?? Errr ... Chelsea played the Malaysian national team recently, and in the stadium, 90% Malaysians were in Chelsea colours.

    Because those are the famous team in the world right now....and MAS is nowhere near their level nor participating in the same venue. What difference is that with some kid in China or Malaysia wearing Lakers or Celtics shirts???

    We're talking about possibly the biggest event in the Badminton (and sport), where your own player is playing for your country pride and recognition, trying desperately to achieve something that never been achieved before. Yet you support his opponent from another country...... The similarity is nowhere to be found.

    Consolation: at least KKK & TBH lost to the best, the eventual gold medalists.

    So, what you are saying is that our support should be conditional?? I mean, if our team is not world famous, it is ok to support others who are famous???

    Well, LD is one of my all time favourite shuttler. And I back him to win based on his track record for having performed at the big tournaments i.e WCs & AEs. My support of LD is no difference than those 60,000 Malaysians in Chelsea colours when Chelsea played the MAS national team in KL.

    I always admire and respect great players from other nations, and can actually be a fan of them, but when my country's national players are playing against them, i would support those country mates unconditionally no matter what, because they're playing to represent us as a nation on the international stage.
