hmm i usually back England but they are a let down in country competition matches, may it be the euros or the worldcup.

i also like japan, let's see though ,the ones who are quite well balanced and usually very good in comp. matches are Germany /Italy/and lately SPAIN.

edit: opps forgot that Holland is also a force to be reckoned with(dang just checked they failed to qualify)other worth mentioned are England France and Belgium / Portugal and (south American teams such as Brazil and Argentina "used" to be very good..)

Sucks that Ireland didn't make it this year. Only hope is that France makes it longer than UK.
Sorry to point this out but the United Kingdom is not in the World Cup. The Uk is made up of England/Scotland/Wales and Northern Ireland and each one of them is a country in its own right and gets to enter the World Cup qualifying stages. England was the only one to qualify. Sorry it just really annoys me when people from outwith the UK thinks that England is the only country that is part of it. I dont know how many times i watch an American tv program or news channel and they are talking about the Queen and call her the Queen of England. Nah mate she is the Queen of the United Kingdom and all four of its countries plus other 16 Commonwealth countries.

Anyway hope France win but that ain't gonna happen.

Well I wished Argentina won the 2014 FIFA world cup, it would be epic, but at least Germany gave Brazil what we deserved.

I hope Argentina makes it this time, I really like their grit and the way they grasp to every single opportunity in the game. Holland would be good too.

Are Iran or Sweden still options? Cuz I'm totally backing them purely cuz that's where my family is from. I don't care at all about soccer, but I'd be psyched if either won.
Iran have Portugal and Spain in first group :/ with todays betting odds of 750/1 to win.
Sweden slightly better at 200/1 (might win the Eurovision song contest though :toot: )

Well, thanks for the compliment on the grit for the Argentine team. It's true, they fight it like the world depended on it, but last years they were so bad putting the damn ball inside the goal, it makes you sad. And they are getting worse by the day, but one can hope I guess.

Wish I could watch all the world cup matches....
I always say the same before the world cups or Euro begin... but after the first 10-15 matches, I get kind of bored :P
so after a while I only watch the most important ones (and skip the ones like Australia vs Peru, Japan vs Polland etc.)
