Are Indians and Sri Lankans supporting England considered fake fans as they aren't English?

In a word yes!

This isn’t club football, it’s international football and you support the nation of you’re birth if any. None of this my nans cat went to wales once bollox.

When they hosted the World Handball Championships, Qatar took a large contingent of Spanish (Ademar León) handball fans to attend Qatar games and cheer their team on, because there was barely any interest in the country itself.

If the country has previous, the suspicion is fairly logical.

Fat Galv, there is more chance of Irish people supporting England than Indians or Sri Lankans... There maybe few Argentina fans because of Messi but not England.

It's a bleeding obvious that they are "paid" fans.
