We quite often support teams or players in sports based on whether we've been to their countries and how much we liked visiting there. Watching the US Open 9-Ball Pool championship right now. Fedor Gorst (Russia (but no Russian flag shown against his name (for reasons))) against Ko Ping Chung (Taiwan). Tricky. We've been to both and loved both. How do we pick? Mountain tea house versus front row seats at the the ballet? Huge spiders versus terrible vodka?
