i find that everytime the olympics or world cup or some such huge world sports event rolls around, i am living in a different country.

2008- canada

2004 - botswana

2000 - u.s.a

1996 - u.s.a

1992 - swaziland

1988 - botswana

1984 - ethiopia

i just thought it’d be fun to see how many countries you have watched the olympics from and does that influence who you cheer for once your own (or adopted) country is out, or if they are not participating. i watched the opening ceremony and i definitely felt a weird swell of pride when the canadian team came in. i was like “huh, guess i have been living here a while!”

    1992 - England
    1996 - Venezuela & England
    2000 - USA
    2004 - USA
    2008 - Spain & USA

    I also remember FIFA World Cup France 1998 really vividly. I remember the logo and everything and that France beat Brazil and everyone went crazy…I wasn’t even in France, I was in Venezuela and England.

    I always support the country I’m in, my grandparent’s country of origin (Jamaica), and England (my home country primarily but I also golf clap for countries I’ve lived in or visited and loved.

    This year, for example, I’m doing really well between Michael Phelps (USA), Usain Bolt (JAMAICA), Chris Hoy (ENGLAND), and well it doesn’t matter that Spain is in 14th place because they have been schooling Europe all year between Eurocup, Wimbledon, and the Tour du France.

    In short I collect teams like a US boy collects baseball cards

    This was a fun post!

    (Is this spam?)
