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

It was those infamous playoffs. France, Greece, Portugal and Russia were given an extra leg-up from FIFA for failing in their qualification groups by further seeding of the plyoffs (as if the origional seeding wasn't enough of an advantage). Slovenia overcame this and knocked Russia out, so that's what I mean when I say they stuck it to FIFA.

Ah the seedings, right.

Yep, pity we couldn't give them the two fingers too.

Slovenia

I'm rooting for team USA and a bit of the Aussies. As long as there isn't any dodgy refeering decisions and lots of beatiful games i will be a happy camper. And Diago forlan to get a bagful of goals (66/1).

Allez Les Bleus - well someone in Ireland has to support them

France, Argentina, Cameroon or Holland for me.

Holland
Argentina

In no particular order, just like to see these teams do well for different reasons.

Heart saying: England

Head saying: Brazil

Would also like to see the following teams doing well: Slovenia, Holland, Spain, Cote d'Ivoire and Germany.

COME ON ENGLAND

I have a feeling it could be Argentina's year, but as with Pompey, I will always believe.

Nice to see so many Germany fans (possibly Germans?) on here.

I too fancy them.

Does anyone know if there's an adopted 'Germany pub' to watch the games in?

rednik

Drew Germany in work so I guess I will root for them.

Spain. Argentina. England. Not sure on the order of preference.

I'm initially rooting for Switzerland as my sister has been living there for over 20 years and I have a Swiss brother-in-law, but don't think they'll make it out of the group.

Going to put a fiver each way on Spain and Argentina

Have backed Brazil 5/1 and Germany too.

Always follow Holland at big tournaments if Ireland aren't involoved!

My head says though that Brazil will win this! Hope i'm wrong.

The British will be following two teams at the world cup, England and (as usual) whoever they are playing.

In Wales case, it is the same every year, in Scotland's case it is the same mosty years, give oir take the first two weeks.

Besides Spain.. Uruguay, Serbia(despite Vidic :pac:) and Holland in that order.

JerryHandbag

Greece. Playing the same sort of nauseating non-football that won them Euro 2004. Wouldn't be much of a spectacle but might piss FIFA off.

Want Germany or France to win it. Think Brazil will win it.

Want Germany to win it just cause they are awesome and they never do anything wrong ever they are awesome.

France cause I wanna see all the guys on here and in Ireland that no nothing about football go "Oh Em Gee that should have been us Thierry Henry is such a cheat I will never buy any cuisine de france rolls again" when if it had of been Robbie Keane to do it he would still be getting high 5's as he walked down the road.

Jagera

down with that sort of thing

I reckon Holland will do well. There's far too much hype surrounding Spain, I think they're struggle to live up to it.

inforfun

Well since i am from that country, it has to be Holland.
But earlier this week i read a quote from Leo Beenhakker that pretty much sums up Holland over the years:

"90% of the countries go to a WC to win the thing, Holland go there to show everybody how good they are"

If things go to plan, Holland will meet Spain or Brazil in the 1/4 final. I can see them beat either one of those 2 and then go out in the semis against Slovenia or some other obscure opponent.
Bit what happeened during euro2008.

italy or maybe algeria now as we have algerians living on our road and there really nice ....so yeah c,mon algeria

Father Damo

Have Holland at 10/1, though they played some pretty boring football against Denmark, not their usual style!
Australia. Live here, the roos are an entertaining team generally. The Aussies can be pretty fairweather, but the thought of Oz vs England gives me the horn.
