Good morning all! So the big day has arrived.
Am intrigued as to who everyone on this thread is pulling for in the World Cup. I assume that, quite rightly, the vast majority here will be for the USA, but there might be a few rogues, like me, who are for other nations.
In the immortal words of John Barnes attempting to rap, ‘Catch me if you can, ‘cos I’m an England man!’
Good luck everyone! The game’s afoot!
in that order
Brasil, being Brasil, and being at home, is the overwhelming favorite. For some reason I've always liked the Dutch, so go Holland! We, the USA, are going to have a very hard time making it out of the first round.
USA
England, have cheered them on basically since my first World Cup, ‘86.
In general, there are about 6 other teams I can cheer on but don’t have a real allegiance.
USA.
