OK - the match is on. Which team - besides your national team - do you think makes a difference?
After watching the starting matches, There is no doubt in my mind:
New Zealand!!!!: :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
They fight to the end and they play football like it was meant to be.
As a team!
Something both (edit - sorry Baron) England, France and Italy obviously has forgotten - IMO that is.;)

Being a Kiwi I am immensely proud of the boys, we have done amazingly well, and I am very proud of their never-say-die attitude. I was jumping up and down on the sofa like I'd won the lottery when we drew against Italy the night before :D Even a lot of my Aussie mates have gotten behind NZ which is great.

To say I'm tickled pink would be a huge understatement!

In terms of other teams, I was disappointed about Oz, although there's still a slim hope.

I've always had a soft spot for Uruguay for some reason, so watching them.

But go the All Whites ;)

That would be England, then?

I really enjoyed watching North Korea's performance against Brazil. 55 minutes goal-less against Brazil is a real achievement for anyone - even more than scoring against them, since Brazil's defending is notoriously … err … variable. But then the Portugal game. What a mess N. Korea were. The Portuguese really handed them a new one. I'm very disappointed.

Much as I hate to say it, the Dutch have been very impressive. Without the scoundrel Robben falling and diving all over the place, they're almost bearable to watch.

I have a few sides that I am cheering for.....

England (used to live there) but they are being rubbishy atm...
Brazil (used to live there too).....
USA (for as long as they stay in)


But I have been impressed with Argentina as well....

Well, obviously USA but beyond that I'd like to see Mexico and Brazil do well.
And I really don't appreciate them running 2 games at the same time, this bouncing back and forth is for the birds ;)

Yes, unfortunately if you don't play the games at the same time, you end up with an Anschluss game. Probably the main reason I can't stand the German football team.

well they could stagger by less then a whole match....ie a 30 min stagger would really not make the Anschluss game event...yet still make it a bit less difficult to watch or listen to two things at once.

Me myself, I have one on radio...and the other on a web-comment-blog updated constantly.....(no tv at work, alas....)

Though chances are high that British fans don't like the German Football team because we usually win and you usually lose?

Ahh, see I hadn't heard of that. Makes sense. Miss Neecerie, I've found a website that broadcasts the games. (shhhh, don't tell ;) )
 
Yes, very efficient football, i'll give you that.lol

No, honestly, you've been at least adventurous this last decade or so. Gone, thank God!, are the Karl-Heinz Rummenigge days of 1-0 boredom. That 1990 team really was dull to watch. (Being Scottish, i don't have any strong feelings about Germany. We leave that to the English, who have plenty enough hate to go around!)

oh dear....not undeserved.....


this is me snickering over here...although I do feel bad for the poor Irish facebook fans who only got that one free pizza from a goal against France.... :D

(Pizza Hut in Ireland, had its facebook fans click a button if a team scored against France. This generated a code for a free delivery pizza )
