Im putting my money on Uraguay they wont win it but they should make the semi-final.

I'd have serious doubts about that, with their defense and midfield. Sure, they have Suarez and Cavani, but beyond that, there isn't much to shout home about, bar Godin.

Anybody but the racist Spanish!!

Croatia. Will also be supporting an usual england implosion, always so funny.

Are people just backing uruguay or think they will go far. They really struggled to qualify. I fancy columbia and a bit of chile.

Tom.D.BJJ

Holland for me.

Agueroooo

Argentina.

Would like to see Messi do it on the biggest stage plus some of my favourite players Aguero, Masch etc

Morzadec

Whoever captures my imagination.

Would perhaps have a slight European bias, would like to see a team from my continent do well in South America. Small countries like Belgium and Croatia would get my vote as it would give me hope that Ireland could one day achieve something.

Similarly I think I could get behind Uruguay. The Suarez factor too would help, it would be great to see him lay down a marker and show he is as good as anyone in the world.

Any team that contributes towards the magic of the World Cup I can see myself getting behind.

Will probably place a few bets to make it interesting too

Always been fond of Portugal since I was young, had a fascination with Rui Costa because of Championship Manager I think, although not positive on that! Ronaldo being there helps also.

Gonna put money on Brazil though, so I'll want them to win!

livinginkorea

Since I am living in Germany now for the last two years and will be watching with my coworkers and neighbors, I will be supporting them.

Looking forward to a good tournament.

I always like to see the mediocre teams doing well so I'll be behind the likes of Chile, Australia, Greece, USA, Japan, Bosnia, Belgium, Ghana, South Korea etc.

Of all the dark horses I'd like to see Portugal, Croatia or Russia win it but I think it will probably be Spain/Germany/Brazil.

Holland they where the 1st team i ever remember seeing playing, Was in 98 against Brazil think the colour of the jersey stood out most so always root for them now.

As many others have said, Id like Argentina to win it, mainly because of Messi.

Hes been criticised by some who say hes not great for Argentina (which he certaintly is!) and winning the World Cup will confirm his greatness and I think confirm him as the greatest ever.

Cmon Leo and Argentina

Winning, or not winning, the World Cup will have zero relation to whether or not Messi is seen as the greatest player ever or not

Pffff... Seen my country lose 3 wc finals live now. Getting really tired of that **** and old

Germany,


Always support them (when they're not battering Ireland, that is)

Wonda-Boy

Spain for me, then Holland.

Too Tough To Die

As long as Spain, Germany, Portugal, France, Holland, Brazil or Italy don't win it, i don't care.

jonnyfingers

As I live here I'll be supporting England. That being said I'd be amazed if they went any further than the quarter finals.

Lovely Bloke

England ofc

Even got my lovely 1986 jersey ready to rock.

Always like to see Portugal do well, as they've always had some outstanding technical players, like Rui Costa, Figo, Ronaldo.

I'd like to see Uruguay do well, especially if Diego Forlan has a prominent part to play. A country with a population smaller than ourselves, but produce fantastic players.

Portugal, have Portuguese family and they're pretty good I reckon.

England for me. Have always watched their games with great interest, and always want to see them to well.

Feck the begrudgers and the haters. I don't care. I'm a Liverpool fan first, and a football fan 2nd. Liverpool have, for the majority of my lifetime, always had a decent presence in the English squad, and as such I watch with a vested interest.

England - 99% for good will support of the team, 1% for sadenfruede from the hyperbolic rage of their red-press when they crash out.

No need to justify yourself id say, this looks to be the complete opposite to the pub culture where people here are pro England and daring people to question why they shouldnt be

I find that stupid the same people who tend to hate England, Cheer the same players on the following weekend playing for there English club.

Mantis Toboggan

Il definitely be supporting Chile.

Some great senior players in the team and also had a few cracking minors a few years back.

That's a great shout, to be fair.

Is justifying why you could support England the new cool thing now? Seen fair bit of it on here already. Theres nothing wrong with supporting England if you want to, there's also nothing wrong with people not wanting to support them.

Will be hoping to see the United lads do well eg will want Rooney to score in the inevitable shootout but Gerrard miss. Will also laugh myself silly if Suarez does something silly to Gerrard like bite him.

Will support whoever I have money on though. No real feelings towards any of the teams either way although as a lot of posters have said would like to see Argentina or Portugal do well as would like Ronaldo or Messi to win a World Cup.

This is always brought up, i dont see why this is a problem or an arguement. So many english people hate english players playing on rival club teams but love them as internationals. It is possible you know? It not really loving or hating the player personally but more about what they represent.

SantryRed

Bosnia due to my Edin Dzeko TGS bet :pac:

Would love to see Spain win it again and cement themselves as the best of all time.

carraig2

England Netherlands or Germany in that order

MonkeyTennis

The english press make us hate England more than we should. They could put out a hugely talented team but with ambitionless Roy in charge, will falter. Its the first World Cup, I have no favourites. Maybe Argentina cos Id like to see Messi win, but thats a head choice.

brevity

I'd like to see Argentina win it if only for people to stop banging on about how Lionel Messi wont be considered one of the greats if he doesn't win it.

I'd genuinely like to see England do well, if only Hodgson wasn't at the helm...jesus he bugs the crap out of me.

Would be fun to see Spain win it again...I don't really mind the way they play the game and with the talent their disposal they have a great chance of getting far. I don't know a huge much about Del Bosque's tactical nous, but I feel he will need to adapt more than say Guardiola in order to win it.

Cos I spent a week in Madrid once and got mugged. Have a chip on my shoulder about them since.

Actually I am joking really. Just think they won enough lately.
