FIFA World Cup 2010

[Zildjin81]

Just thought I'd make a thread to discuss the 2010 soccer/football world cup. What team do you think will win, which teams are your favorites,favorite players, etc.

I'll start: I'm a Germany fan (from the US). I hope Germany wins and I think they have a good shot.

My team's England (*looks shiftily at the OP*). They'll probably get the quarter-finals and crash out in a penalty shoot-out. Like they always do...

As for winners, I don't know. Brazil always are in with a chance. It'd be easier to say who could win if I knew all the teams that had qualified...

Well I for one never really cared about the world cup, but I'm routing for England since thats my home team.

I'll be supporting England. It's the most fun. We all ignore the obvious that we've no chance of winning then get all super excited, only have our dreams come crashing down.

I'll be supporting Brazil because 1) I'm Brazilian and 2) the Brazilian TV commentary is awesome.

But as a Brazilian-American dual citizen, tomorrow's Confederations Cup final will be interesting.

I think Spain will win it on current form (Confederations blip aside), but a lot can happen in the next year. I'll be supporting England, but I'll be a bit conflicted as I've half Spanish. However, England always win the World cup after Spain win the European cup so maybe we have a chance.

Being English I will be rooting for England. As usual we will go in with high expectations and leave prematurely in a cloud of poor performances and broken dreams.

African/South American/Southern European teams could struggle because of the weather. It will be winter in South Africa and it gets pretty cold, particularly at night. Maybe it will have an effect, maybe it won't. Either way it will make an interesting change from the usual sweltering heat.

Sooo...I'm going to go for Germany or England (told you, high expectations) to win it, with the Netherlands and Russia in with an outside chance.

 

[chimmers]

I'll be supporting Scotland

Hopefully

Northern ireland...... i wish!

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

Being British, I will be rooting for England, or, should Scotland qualify, Scotland for the first round and England till the quarter-finals.

Still, I suppose either Italy, Germany or Brazil have the best chances of winning, based on previous performances, although I suppose Spain have a good chance as well.
