World Cup 2010!

There's a thread in the spamzone, so we may as well discuss it where posts count.
Who are you guys rooting for? What matches are you looking forward to?
I'm rooting for Mexico and the U.S., Holland also looks really good this year.
Any predictions for future matches? Let's discuss.

 

I'm cheering for Mexico. Not really into watching soccer though.

 

Me too, I'm more of a player. When the World Cup comes around is about the only time i watch it, and even then I only watch main matches.

 

You can't spell Uruguay...

I'm rooting for Brazil and Italy. Mostly because I'm from the former and I like the latter's team. Kinda surprised at the games today since nobody won one.

I'm also more of player when it comes to soccer. I mostly just watch the Cup and the occasional game that comes on TV.

 

I'm with Italy on this one. I always have been. Sure, I could be all patriotic and go with France, but I've always preferred Italy's consistency for a change.

Today's matches were disappointing anyway >_> Hopefully there's more fun tomorrow.

 

I've decided to cheer for Australia. Just because. :>

My country didn't qualify, and I'm not much of a football (soccer) person. :/ I'll probably look at the standings every once in a while, though.

 

No Canadian team makes me sadface


So I guess I'll root for USA, Italy, France, and England.

 

VIVA MEXICANO

i was disappointed in they're performance today, but i'm just happy they tied the game.

 

I'll be rooting for Argentina.
I think that from the 32 nations that are there, most of them deserve to be there and except for just a few particular ones, noone appears to be an outsider. And that's the whole point of the World Cup, right? The best of the best.

I'm going to enjoy the World Cup as much as I can. Even though, my nation's team is one of the ... outsiders, I'm going to be watching its games with great pleasure! :P

 

Spain and The Netherlands, but I'm not a hardcore supporter of either. I just want to see matches that will have me on the edge of my seat. I like Spain's style, and I'm practically obliged to cheer for our northern neighbours.

 

Italy.

Been a supporter for a little while, and you know those Italians, always in for the best! But this Cup should be fun. I never used to watch soccer until my professor encouraged me to watch.

Go Foot Ball!

 

same here. although i'll also be rooting for germany,

too bad Canda can't be there : (

it is a nation and our next door neighboor after all.

 

I'm rooting for England, although I'm not very into football and I doubt we'll get past the semi's. Then I'll root for the underdog, whoever that is.

 

Not too exciting so far. The most variety besides 1-0 scores and tied scores has been South Korea VS Greece.

Wonder what the finale will look like. Italy will probably get far.

 

Greene was awful for the UK against the USA. A siimple save but he messed it up not to mention during the match he wasn't even looking at the pitch. He got lucky with one of the saves later on. I feel sorry for him but my god it was horrorific.

But meh I don't like football but I'll watch the English games if I'm not doing anything at the time.

 

I enjoyed Germany mopping the floor with Australia just now. Not that I particularly dislike Aussies, I just enjoyed a more interesting break in the low-score routine so far.

 

Too bad they lost in the end but they did play a good game against Brazil.

 

Too bad nobody cares about them doing good, because North-Koreans can't even watch the World Cup. Either they meet South-Korea in the finals, or they don't make it to the second rounds. I don't care much for any other scenario than those two.

 

Well, they only watch the good highlights of their teams, and a game or two when their team plays.
