National Pride...in question

With the World Cup starting up, I have something I would like to bring up that bothers me.

During the Olympics, I brought this up to people. I don't get how people can root for another country then the one that they grew up in.

This was brought up when I saw people actually rooting against Americans during various events in Vancouver, something I didn't understand at all.

Then recently I saw someone tweet "I don't know who I'm rooting for in the World Cup yet." Say what?

I don't understand this logic at all.

How can anyone root AGAINST their own country during a sporting event? I mean even if there is no chance that Team USA is going to win, like in the World Cup, how can you actually have the guts to root against them at all?

I wish I could understand this logic. That's all I've got. I just needed to vent.
