May 29, 20187 yr Pick one team who is presumably your second favorite behind the US. Me - I'm going for the emotional basket case that is Mexico. Totally not raised from birth to root for Mexico but that's where the great great grandparents or thereabouts came from. Life is like the Mexico team - you do some nice things, but who the fuck are you kidding?
May 29, 20187 yr Author Dumb fucks. Mexico is playing at least...Well, they are playing three teams. So pick one. (I tried to do a poll but it would only let me pick 20 teams, and it I decided it wouldn't be cool to eliminate the swarthiest.)
May 29, 20187 yr I enjoy watching Germany, Argentina, and Spain play so I guess one of them. Usually root for the Netherlands.

Because Viking clap. ...stolen from Scottish rugby fans who stole it from the Maori Haka that the New Zealand All Blacks perform before each rugby match, but hey... Let's call it a "Viking clap" even though the Baltics/Northern Atlantic (center of the Viking kingdom) is basically the opposite side of the globe from where that clap originates. https://www.geodatos.net/en/antipodes/norway/hordaland/bergen 👌 Edited May 29, 20187 yr by Napoleon
May 29, 20187 yr Switzerland. It’s disappointing how much Shaqiri has regressed early in his career, but I still like their chances of at least getting to the knockout round.

May 29, 20187 yr Italy, Netherlands, Cameroon, Chile, USA but srsly, South Korea, Iceland, Messi, and anyone playing Portugal

It's cool. I like cool shit. Oh, and my serious answer is Argentina. Folks lived there for a good while, we have good friends there, and Messi.

May 29, 20187 yr Belgium because I'm half Belgian. And Iceland because I love their country, their fans and that they're capable underdogs.
May 29, 20187 yr My primary rooting interest is to see Russia fail to make it out of their rigged group. After that, pulling for Iceland. And I will probably pick another team to root for that has a legit shot but is not necessarily a favorite (so probably Belgium).
May 29, 20187 yr Brazil. Been a fan of theirs since I was a kid. Brazil. Always Brazil. I was raised rooting for them. My grandmother would roll over in her grave if I didn’t root for the seleção.

May 29, 20187 yr Is rooting for Mexico fine even if one thinks they will lose all three games and end their second round streak at seven? By the way they are the only team with that many second round appearances in a row to not have won the cup during such a streak. Edited May 29, 20187 yr by DanTheHorn

May 29, 20187 yr 1. aggy opponents 2. Engerland - my 2nd allegiance after the nats 3. The Dog - but I think the side he picked is going to fold in the quarters 4. vlad opponents 5. Portugal - but only until the final and only if the final will be against The Dog - the moment The Dog is out, i want CRbaby out too 6. Iceland, bandwagon (but they are getting slaughtered in group, The Dog is going to cut them open on matchday 1, and they will not recover) 7. Egypt/Salah 8. Australia - 4th allegiance 9. tico opponents 10. Sweden - tits T-11. Japan & South Korea

I have always said I know what it is like to be a champion (I am a Texas fan) and what it is like to be a an aggy (I am a Mexico fan). Full of unrealistic expectations, loyal and see the fan base go wild over minor feats but never really getting anything achieved. See streak above as example. Example: The saying of fans of "Empate con sabor a victoria" versus Belgium in 1998. "A tie that taste like victory". Only aggy and Mexico can have that kind of a saying.
May 29, 20187 yr oh, and predictions... restating, i want a Argentina/Portugal final...... but to quote/fark Sepp Herberger... "The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes, and everything else is pure theory.... except that in the end, the Germans always win." Although, they didn't quite make it to Moscow the last time around. But Napoleon did, even if he barely made it home alive.

May 29, 20187 yr But the best of all time was being packed in to (the now razed) Ben's Half Yard House on Greenville, at least 1000 people over fire code, for the 230am kickoff of Jeonju in 2002. A day that will live in infamy.

Hell when we won the baseball championship years later and I posted I was happy about the Longhorn championship somebody still told me to GFY over that early post in a baseball thread.

I can't enjoy the USA v Mexico rivalry the way others can since I root for the US when they are not playing Mexico. I remember being frustrated that it seemed I was the only one that was walking around pissed off that the USA lost to Iran in the world cup many world cups ago.
May 29, 20187 yr Egypt France Argentina i normally don’t root for Argentina but the odds were right to bet on them.
