Or like being Algerian (Moroccan?) on a French team; I recall one player saying when they win, he's French, when they lose, he's Algerian.

You beat me to it. I think this was Zinedine Zidane.

From what i remember, a lot of european footballers have a quote like that. Mesut Özil also said something similar when he played for the German national team.

“I am German when we win, but I am an immigrant when we lose”
