Although my favourite football team is India, but then India are not playing in this world cup and also India does not have any chance to make it into the next football World cup as well. Maybe with the youngsters coming up, we might have a chance for the 2014 and beyond world cups, but then lets not get into discussion for that. Football is even more unpredicatable than Cricket as a sport.

In the absence of an Indian team at competitive football, by favourite team in football has been Brazil and I will be with them in this world cup.

FIFA has already ruled that out, as we'd be in different confederacies.

We'll also provide the buckets and mop away the evidence of any excess consumption (let's face it, this is a given!).

Why would anyone want to do that? :p
They're fans of Mel Gibson?

...I dunno, but I guess that I'll have to support the country of my birth.

India are just....pretty bad at footy. What can I say? They love cricket too much to spare time for footy! :p But I love football, so it hurts me, but...I guess I'll just go with South Korea and France. France because I do be a die-hard arsenal fan so it makes sense, and SK because I'd like to support one asian team in there.

Hiddink really is a great coach, he works wonders.

With the refreshing Van Basten at the helm, I'm actually considering supporting my own country this time.

Other than that, I hope Argentina do well (because of excellent average hair length), at least one of the African nations goes a long way, and Australia beat Brasil (because that would conclusively prove Guus Hiddink is the master of the universe)..

Brazil for me. Always been a fan of the style of football they play.

This time they look awesome as well. A Brazil vs Argentina final would rock. I saw the two clash last year in supposedly a friendly (people said its a friendly so no big deal). Well its never friendly when the two play each other as evident by the rough fouls, tackes.

A part of me will also be behind Holland and T and T.

I'm going for Costa Rica.

Reason? They have a Bodø/Glimt player in their squad. :)
Is that the only Norway-based player in the WC?

No Rosenborg Swede or anything? Or are Norwegians just incapable of supporting Sweden?

New Zealand will never make a world cup in my life time which means I have to choose other teams to support.
if fifa could think logically, oceania would become a sub-group of asia, whereby the winner of oceania would go into the final stage of asian qualifying...makes perfect sence really. nz would make world cups from time to time i think...

He doesn't support Rosenborg, though.
