Who Are You Rooting For Poll

Dues Bellator

out of the top teams in the world cup ,who are ya shouting for, im going for italy the 18/1 worth a fiver.

Mister men

One of these five will win it.
Brazil
Spain
Italy
Germany
Argentina
If i was a betting man i'd back Italy at that price.
USA are an excellent long shot to make the final.

I think you can add the Dutch to that list, their qualifying and friendly form has been outstanding, far better than the Argentines for example. I they can keep their glass players fit of course but it's only for a month so it's a decent possibility

Bounty Hunter

Argentina
Holland
Spain

in that order of preference simply for the entertainment factor in the World Cup if those teams where to go all the way.

Warper

Brazil to beat Italy in the final.

I'll be rooting for Germany anyway. 3rd in the last world cup and 2nd the world cup before. Not to mention 2nd at the Euros last time out. Hard to argue with that record tbh. Not a bad record for a team that were never in the top level of favourites pre-tournament

Plus I was at the last world cup in germany and it was the coolest country with the coolest people so I'd like them to win!

stumpypeeps

I'll be rooting for England, or at least I will attempt to, that would be the grown up thing to do.

However, I will find myself dancing with joy when they get knocked out for some bizarre reason.

I'll be supporting Italy but I'm not very optimistic, their squad just isn't very good.

I have Spain, Germany and Brazil backed, so any of those 3 will do nicely with Milito or Villa as Top Scorer and Xavi Player of the Tournament.:P

Hoping the Dutch do well. Think it might be their time.

The Netherlands, they always play great football and promise a good bit of entertainment. Their chances to go all the way depend on De Jong and van Bommel playing out of their skins to protect their back four and nip counters in the bud.

My next preference would be to see Mexico do well. They a technically gifted side. Weak in defence (particularly set pieces) but if they keep their heads together and control possession I think they can surprise a few people.

It'd be nice for an African side to go far, but I can't see it happening. I think Cameroon will do the best of them (Song and Makoun will make life very difficult for opponents), but the draws are all very difficult. If Africa can get two teams to the second round I think they will be doing well.

thorbarry

I always root for the Dutch in major tournaments. I have done since France 98. I think it all started with dennis bergkamp, and being an Arsenal fan we always have someone in the Dutch squad I can root for

Dont be at yourself

Deutschland Nationalmannschaft!

postalservice

Netherlands, Slovenia and England.


As long as it's not like Greece in the euros a few years back, i'll be happy

Mars Bar

The USA

Muff_Daddy

Spain and Brazil - for financial purposes.

Holland - the team I've always had a soft spot for.

And Slovenia - for sticking it to FIFA, and knocking out one of the four seeded teams in those playoffs.

ill be rooting for England and Holland

AnCapaillMor

Holland, Van Basten and Bergkamp were gods, always liked them and spain too, play good football and have some class players.

I'll be going for Spain but I feel that the USA are great contenders and wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if they topped their group.

Boskowski

Deutschland all the way, because ich bin ein Berliner

pickarooney

I'm having a hard time making up my mind. I'd like an unfancied side playing decent football to do it, but instead I'm going to plump for Germany. Or France, **** it, any excuse for a party.

As it happens Germany ARE going to play decent football this time I believe. Although you can hardly call them an unfancied side.

Le King

USA, of course, but I know we won't win it.

SarahBM

I will be shouting for Australia, USA and maybe Eng-er-land

and who ever is playing france on any particular day

I usually find Germany decent to watch actually. I'm a fan of the old shoot-on-sight policy they had going for a while when they had about 8 players who could score from 40 metres.

From the looks of it, most people are supporting the USA.

Can we make them the official boards.ie World Cup team?

Zonda999

The USA, not from there or anything, not even the fact there in Englands group, just like some of the players on that team!

I think the 'Good of the Game' argument goes well with the USA as well. If they have a great World Cup then soccer, already rapidly rising in popularity, could really take off.

Serbia all the way!!!

I'm going to Italy shortly after the tournament also, so I suppose it'd be nice if they were all in a good mood after winning.

Dolph Starbeam

Spain or Holland for me, i have them down to meet in the final too. Mexico and Serbia might be worth a watch too.

Glad to see that I'm not alone. I'll be supporting Slovenia more so than whoever is playing France or England

I must have missed this, what did they do to rile FIFA?

I got Spain at 7/1 last year put 50 quid on them e/w so happy with that..

Have backed Brazil 5/1 and Germany too.

FIFA decided to seed the playoffs when it became clear that big nations like France, Russia & Portugal could end up playing each other in the playoffs and screwing smaller countries like Ireland, Bosnia & Slovenia for commercial gain.

Slovenia (pop. ~2M) put out Russia (pop. ~141M) in the playoffs

Sepp is probably still crying at the 'money lost' by Slovenia being little upstarts!
