Hell_Boy said: I shadowsword said: i watch champions league I want to win Bayern Munich I hate Internazinale. On the world cup I wanna england to win or France.Of course, I will watch. I follow such football like Chamions League and World Cup only because I think it's more interesting. Hmmm...Brazil have a good team but I would like England to win! I agree on one thing there - I hate Inter and most of the Italian teams like Juve ugh... Bayern has a good team I must admit but I am a Manchester United supporter :) |
| Portugal or Spain! ;D |
| Germany, Spain or Argentina are my bets. Probably the Netherlands too. Also I seriously hope Italy doesn't pass the group satage. |
 |
| I predicted Spain to win it a few months ago but currently I really have no idea who'll win it. I won't cheer for anyone in particular, I'll wait for the games and then I'll see which team I identify the most with. |
 |
| I believe that Spain deserves to win this World Cup, because they have never had a strong team as they do now, so if they don't win this year, it would be difficult to make another team as this one or even better ^^U |
| Rooting for Germany in the absence of a Canadian side; my next-door neighbour growing up briefly played semipro over there in the 1950s. At some level, not watching the World Cup is a refusal to engage with humanity, sort of like not attending high school graduation ceremonies or tearing up the census. |
| Hell yes 8D I won't even pretend I know anything about clubs, national teams, rules and stuff, but it's sooo freaking entertaining, even for a girl like me. I usually follow the World Cup and the UEFA EFC, and I can't wait for 22 May (Champions League final). I don't even know what I like about it, but apart from my dad, I'm the only one in the family who enjoys it. And I hope Spain grabs the title, just for the heck of it, so they can boast about being both Europe and world champions. I liked their play two years ago in the EFC (although I was all for Netherlands until their match with Russia), and I like Casillas (though he sometimes makes me go IKER WTFFFF GET BACK THERE -heart attack- when he goes too far away from the goal >.> and he does that a lot.) EDIT: Or no, wait. I'm changing my vote to Netherlands after rewatching a few videos from their matches with Italy and France in 2008. DAYUM. |

| I will watch it for sure! The winner will be either Italy or Germany xD |
 |
| i will watch it. i think the wining will be Grmany or Italy. |
| North Korea - United States final and then the loser will declare war on the winner and its WWIII LOL OK seriously, there's only one thing certain. England, if they qualify out of the group stages, will be knocked out after a penalty shootout. lol maybe the quarters, maybe semis, heck maybe the final, but THEY WILL LOSE, in a PENALTY SHOOTOUT. LOL |
 |
| I'm so stoked. For real. Won't call any names, but I'm sure 'we' will do great. ^ England can't be saved; they've lost they're lost without Beckham. Ehehee.

| Yes I am. I like England but I'm not sure it'll win, so idk.. |
| I think Italy doesn't have a chance of winning this year. Maybe they'll make it till the semis but that's all... |

Beckham is the most overrated football player of the decade. He's nothing but an average player who's good at making crosses and scoring free kicks, not to mention he's only extremely popular due to being married to a former Spice Girl and many women finding him attractive. |

He may be average overall but in the places where he excels is where England needs him the most. Now if they'll insist with a Lampard-Gerrard center, at least make sure the other one in the middle isn't Gareth Barry. He may be good, but not the right player for that specific role. Carrick suits the position better, although he isn't really an upgrade over Barry anywhere else. I'm hoping for a France or Spain victory, although that might be unlikely because of Domenech (in the case of France) or they're the legendary underachievers (in the case of Spain - although Euro 08 MAY be a sign of a change of that). |

Hey, I wasn't talking about his image nor qualities, but last time I watched the British national team play (alright, I admit that must have been the last European championships or perhaps even the World Championships) but he was the only one who stood his ground. Rest of the team just looked like they were dilly-dallying. Sure, Arsenal and Manchester may belong to the top, but what the national team managed to achieve that year.. ouch. Oh well, he's injured anyway and done for. May a new star rise. (Aren't we all tired of Ronaldo as well?) |

Not that much as I love you though. ;D Now, seriously, I always had a thing for such underdog countries. Last time it was Trinidad, now it's Honduras. I'll probably support New Zealand too. But my actual favorites are......hmmm.......Switzerland (now that's unexpected, lol XD ). Tranquillo Barnetta kicks some serious ass. :) |
| I am not really in to football but i hope the netherlands will win it. But won't again :P |
| ....... |
| I want Germany to win of course, I'm already in a World Cup mood. Though it's been replaced by a bit of rage as I just read the news. On the weekend, Ballack -Germany team captain- played a game with his Chelsea team against Portsmouth and was rudely and unfairly fouled by Boateng (Portsmouth; also Ghana -group opponent of Germany in the World Cup-) and can now not take part in the WC due to injury. It was totally on purpose, just look at the scene. Dx Now please keep potential 'serves him right cos I don't like him' comments to yourself, as football fan you know that this is not the way to play, especially not a month before the biggest football cup. I'm sure we'll get a competent captain replacement but I still had to get if off my chest. And one thing's for sure: we're gonna mow down Ghana. |

| Wow, yeah, that was uncalled for o.o And while I HATE (hatehate) fouling on purpose, I'm still kinda glad I won't have to see him in the World Cup xP Sorry, no hard feelings, but I've always thought he was kind of a jerk (based on his behaviour during some matches I had seen). Sucks for Germany because he is a good player. And a captain, to top it off... But yeah, I don't envy him, he must be freaking raging right now. Imagine, having to skip World Cup because some dude fouled you o.o Wow. |

| True, Cenedess. But many good football players have character and I can name a few pricks too. I was pretty pissed when I read about it but I'm sure we'll get a worthy replacement and now that everyone in the team has to shoulder a bit more, it'll be a better team overall. I'm still looking forward to the matches. |

| My bet - England. I would say Argentina if Maradona wasn't their coach :| |
| The Netherlands please. But it's not going to happen. |
| I just want to see Japan & S. Korea play after seeing Daisuke Higuchi raving about them all through the Whistle! manga. We barely get world football coverage here, much less coverage of Asian teams. |

| If the netherlands just didn't do dumb shit and has a normal coach they would win for sure just like europe's cup they totally owned italy and france but because of some dumb shit they lost.. idiots. Well i will be rooting for the netherlands, let's hope they dont screw up this time. |
| Yup, I don't really know who I'm rooting for, though. I rooted for Italy in the past, only because I follow the Serie A and Alessandro del Piero is my favourite player, but he's not playing this year, meh. I guess I'll just watch it for entertainment purposes rather than hoping a certain team would win. |
| Well I know one thing; I f**in' don't want those cheaters France to win after what they pulled against Ireland! Ugh! It's either England or Netherlands ... hmm. |
Heaven is where the police are British, the chefs Italian, the mechanics German, the lovers French and it is all organised by the Swiss. Hell is where the police are German, the chefs British, the mechanics French, the lovers Swiss and it is all organised by the Italians. |
| In all honesty, the Dutch seem to screw up nearly as much as England do in these things If they can keep their best players fit then they're in with a chance |
     |
| HAHA its great! At work one guy is hoping Mexico will go all the way, Another wants El Salvador to win, Another wants Honduras to win, The head chef wants USA to win, and for me, I'm going for Japan or Korean to win. we all know they wont win the whole thing but as far as first round matches go, I have a $50 with the head chef that JPN is going to win over Cameroon. I also have a $20 bet that Korea is going to win over Greece. If the friendly with Ecuador was any indication, KOR should be ok to win this. England vs USA is going to be a good game, I'm thinking its either going to be a draw or England with +1 Wouldn't that be some shit if the KOR or JPN wins the cup. |

  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| I'm gonna be supporting Uruguay, Suarez + Forlan fuck yeah! I think Spain wins this year though, I'm gonna be really surprised if they don't reach the final at least. |
| No matter how good you are at something, there's always about a million people better than you. |
| Of course I'll watch it, I hope France will place good. Though as a German of course I hope we'll also get pretty far in the tournament like last time. :3 |
