World cup time.

[lee1287]

Okay. So the world cup is almost here, and i was just wondering, what country are you supporting? Are you supporting your home country, or another? Why?

Boredom on a friday night, and the only film on my T.V is Street fighter...

 

[Marter]

I'll be supporting Spain, just because Iker Casillas is my favorite player.

Canada's soccer team sucks...

 

[lee1287]

Good choice, seeing as they are the favourite. Fabregas and Torres. ;D

EDIT: You have the best Hockey team though.

 

[Radeonx]

I don't really follow soccer, but I suppose I'll support America, because I don't really care about anyone else.

 

[DividedUnity]

Too bad france had to go and cheat!

I keed I keed, Ireland isn't in it this year so I guess I'll be supporting whoever wins and say I was supporting them all along

Football, you mean? Yeah we (England) play the USA in our first match. =]

 

[Jesus Phish]

Mexico. All my friends seem to think I look mexican. They also have the best food in the world. They're also in Frances group and will hopefully knock them out, or at least cause injury to Thierry Henry for his actions.

I'm from Ireland and we got knocked out by France in a horrible decision by the linesman, ref and FIFA (you can cheat as long as you're not caught right away).

 

[RangerSERE]

Yes! Im so pumped about this. Ill be following: Spain, Brasil, England, Ghana, and my sleeper pick Holland. Im american...but for some reason i really dislike our soccer team.

 

[Beryl77]

Since I'm from Switzerland, I support them but I don't get my hopes up. I don't think they'll manage to get to the next round. A country I think could win is Argentina. I would love to see the football god Maradona, win the world cup as a trainer.

Well they couldnt go back and change the decision, could they? Would be uproar regarding other games. I don't see mexico going far, they lost to a pretty shabby england on monday.

 

[lee1287]

I've always been a huge Argentina fan. I was pulling for Messi and Tevez last world cup when Messi was 18. I'll still be pulling for them.

And, to be a homer, I've gotta pull for the USA. Bring the hate.

Argentina. Hmm, don't see them going past the quarter finals.

That's cool, you can support us as we wipe the floor with the USA in our opening game.

Yeah I'm pretty much obligated to have unrealistic hopes for En-ger-land! Quite interested in watching some of the African teams though.

 

[RyQ_TMC]

Well, my country didn't get in, but I usually support the Netherlands, as they've always been a technically skilled team with interchangeable positions. Enjoyable to watch, and I love that.

I also have a soft spot for Australia. None of them are international superstars, but they've always been a solid team which can cause quite a stir.

 

[ottenni]

Lest go Australia! Lets not get slaughtered!

 

[RyQ_TMC]

Lest go Australia! Lets not get slaughtered!

Well, last time they got through the group stage, and then lost 1:0 to Italy after a controversial penalty, I think it's hardly "getting slaughtered".

Yeah I'm pretty much obligated to have unrealistic hopes for En-ger-land!

An English friend of mine claims that Capello managed to finally get all the primaballerinas to work as a team, so it might indeed get interesting. On the other hand, don't they always say that?

Quite interested in watching some of the African teams though.

My opinion of most African teams is that they have very skilled players with great technique who suddenly become crap when they close in for the shot... It's just a bit weird seeing a team which can easily get the ball into the penalty area and then passes it around, unsure of who should take the shot, until the defenders take it away.

I enjoyed this year's African Nations Cup though, so they might cause some stir.

 

[Ph33nix]

deutschland deutschland deutschland! yeah because America won't win and Ireland got cheated by France so deutschland is my other heritage

 

[Sharps92]

Supporting England. But also want France to do well as I picked them out of a hat for a world cup sweepstake with my friends.

 

[OMGMOO]

GO AUSTRALIA!!!! Anyone remember what happened back in 2006 Australia versus Italy? Two words:


Acting skills.

They went on to win it to those cheating little *post censored from this point onwards due to extreme emotion on the subject*
