Can't wait for Brazil to win this totally bought World Cup. At least the matches will be interesting to watch.
Here's rooting for Germany, Japan and the Netherlands though.
Messi has arrived. Game over.
Argentina campeón, carajo!
guys guys, HE just arrived
It must suck basically being a mini USA, with worse food and not as pretty girls. They don't even have a that much better national team anymore.
The US will win their second World Cup before England does.
that's a hilarious pic. i would love to see messi winning the world cup but his team is not great. i'm rooting for them but we will see.
If Argentina isn't a good team in your book, you basically have an impossible standards. There are maybe four other teams in the world on their level. Maybe.
oh yeah, Brazil, the richest nation in the planet, bought the WC
real talk man, don't waste time thinking about conspiracy theoryes and just enjoy the matches, they'll all be awesome I promise ;D
we'll see. their defense is super weak, they can get destroyed by a team with a good offense and middle.
the team i'm rooting for the most is Spain since i'm from here, but i don't see them winning either.
To be fair, England hasn't factored into the World Cup for 48 years. I doubt any Gaffers were even alive when their team mattered. Fueled by an excellent domestic league, made up of foreign stars, a large portion of the fanbase is delusional in their expectations for the national squad.
There's an entire chapter in the book, Soccernomics, that makes a very convincing case that England actually overachieves just by making it out of the first round. Sounds about right and it's in keeping with historical trends.
The USA knows exactly where it stands on the football front. We'll sometimes surprise a few top teams, but we're a second-tier squad.
Never forget.
Here's to hoping the tabloids rise to the challenge again this time around
Going to be great seeing the US and England get destroyed.
They have insanely good defensive midfielders, a great goalie, and arguably the best attackers in the Cup. Zabaleta is a fine defensive back. There are some questions with the rest of the back line.

"England loses in stunning fashion."
Stunning to no one.
At least the English make fun of their own national team together with the rest of the world.
Americans are too optimistic for their own good.

Fuck it, I'm rooting for Brazil!

US Mint getting unwarranted hate. Some damn fine coins.At least Americans knows our USMNT suck. We root 'em like hell anyway, hoping to escape the group
Can't decide who my third world underdog team is going to be this time around
Iran? Ghana? Bosnia?

how do you guys decide who to root for if your home team either A) has no chance of winning or B) gets eliminated early?

Mine hasn't qualified since 98. But I'm half Italian (Father is Italian and mother half Italian) so I root for them.how do you guys decide who to root for if your home team either A) has no chance of winning or B) gets eliminated early?
Did you just call Romero a great goalie? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
What is this i'm reading.
Argentina's best keeper isn't even at the World Cup

We play without a goalkeeper man.
Honestly, I thought Carrizo was on the team. I stopped following the qualifiers last year and assumed he would be added.
This is some Landon Donovan type garbage.
My heathen wife is a huge Boca Juniors fan, so she'll be hoping for Orión to get on the pitch.

What are you talking about? Carrizo is shit, even worse than not having a goalkeeper. Good thing we have the best offensive players on the planet though.
Rooting for Mexico of course..
I'm worried about our defense though. :x

No queremos al maldito Maza!!The 5-3-2 formation they have should make their defense pretty formidable (in theory anyway).
Watch out USA-GAF

Personally I'm pulling for Uruguay when the US goes down. I like their president and Luis Suarez won me over with some masterful trolling last world cup.how do you guys decide who to root for if your home team either A) has no chance of winning or B) gets eliminated early?
