I'm rooting for my country of course.
This is only the second time we've ever made it to the World Cup and we did pretty terrible back in 2002.
Our problem is that we can only win when we're playing in our own country.
And now we get to play against Germany right off the bat.
Oh well, we should be able to take on Costa Rica and Poland at least.
The last World Cup was terrible.
Im rooting for all african nations cause it would be good to see africa suceed for once. Ivory Coast i root for most cause they are the best among the africans.
I also root for sweden cause i have lived more than half of my life so i consider sweden my homecountry. Pretty good team this time that quarterfinal or semi shoulndt be impossible.
Italy,Spain i root for on the side cause Totti is my fav player and the spanish have many superb players that should shine.

I'll be watching. Not really rooting.
But yea. I heard alot of the English Soccer Hooligans are not allowed to leave England to watch the games.
P.S. Futbol Americano ftw!

I'm supporting ITALY!! Because they own and it's my home country. Anyways, Totti is a terrible player... he always curses and spits on other players. I prefer Maldini & Del Piero, they are old timers.Libaax wrote: Italy,Spain i root for on the side cause Totti is my fav player and the spanish have many superb players that should shine.

dude, holland plays nice soccer, they have a chance to win. Btw, I hope the world cup isn't as corrupted as the previous one.obi-pie wrote:i support holland but i don't think they come further then the quarter finals but we have a few good players (van pesie,arsenal | robben,chelsea)
brazil is prob gonna win

true that but when italy scores the 1-0 they go into defense and the match is going to be boringDevil_Dante wrote:Tht BEST?? He certainly isnt irreplaceable imo. He is too cocky. Italy would still own everyone's ass without Totti.Libaax wrote: Man you cant hate a great player for one mistake!

It's called tactics. But I have to agree that it sucks. Italian have a special word for this tactic: "Catanaccio"... or something like that. They have a reason for this, they don't just want to defense. They want the opponent to attack, fail, and then counter in the hope there are holes in the opponents defense. Last minutes of the game are the worst as the opponent keeps pressing and you just pray that they don't score.obi-pie wrote: true that but when italy scores the 1-0 they go into defense and the match is going to be boring
Thier catenaccio is why they always lose in tight matches like the one against korea in 2002. No other team as good as Italy would go all out defend on a team like Korea. Thats why Italy need Totti who is the best player cause he can change the game any second,also he one of the best playmakers like ever.
Totti scored 15 goals in 24 games this year and made Roma(my fav football team) go on a record 11 win streak.

thats ok, USA might never win the world cup, but we will always win the World Series.Ayanami wrote:Never really was into football. Either American or European. I have watched my fair share of home team games though. But really, what are the chances of America not getting bitch slapped around this world cup. Kinda not worth watching when your home country does not even stand a chance in hell.

? Anyways, I have a hunch that France makes a good chance too. They got some really nice players like Thuram, Zidane, Trezeguet etc...

You know Football isnt european its the world biggest game a religion in most parts of the world minus USA of course.
USA was in last 8 in 2002 so i dont think they will get bitch slapped cause they are ranked 4 in the world even if thats only cause they meet teams like Panama in CONCAF.
