Are they fully behind the national team or just interested in the success of their own players?? I can’t imagine any other country that would encounter this kind of problem, The only loose example I could conjure up would be if the United Kingdom was forced to enter one team. How would a Scotsman cheer on a team with at least 9 English player??

The Catalans will have no problem since they won the World Cup, they just had a few Spanish blow ins. :lol: The thing about football - the important thing about football - is its not just about football. - Sir Terry Pratchett in Unseen Academicals For pro/rel in Australia across the entire pyramid, the removal of artificial impediments to the development of the game and its players.

If you mention Barca to a castallian they'll spit on you still and vice versa with real madrid to a catalonian. If the Catalan's had it their way they would be happy to be an independant country still...but this victory should help Spain unite....maybe.
