Which team are you supporting deep into the tournament?

[Spark]

Germany/Argentina, most watchable teams thus far.

[PhoenixFire]

Pretty much what Scaly said, but I'll be gunning for Holland, Uruguay and Ghana in particular.

[vcs]

I'm a massive glory-hunter when it comes to international football. I vacillate between supporting the team with the most attractive style of play (Spain), the team playing a dynamic, fearless brand of football without too many big stars (Germany, Russia at Euro 2008) and teams that I traditionally always support (Argentina).. yeah, I know there isn't much left over.

Don't want anyone from the Brazil-Holland (both surprisingly boring) and Uruguay-Ghana half to win it.

Supporting Spain. Just a casual follower of football and wouldn't be able to distinguish between a good and a great player. Saw the re-telecast of a spanish match when the wc was being promoted and loved the way every player in their team did tricks with their feet. They play with a lot of flair and consistently try to attack which I liked. Big fan of Xavi, Villa, Xabi Alonso, Torres, Puyol, Casillas.

So when I cut all the bull**** and just say who I support, its Spain.

[G.I.Joe]

I support Spain because BB says they're the Indian equivalent in football.

PS: Die Holland die!

You're pro-global warming and subsequent rising sea levels, I see?

Nah, just anti Pakistan

[Lillian Thomson]

I shall be routing for Paraguay and their attempt to progress through the knock-out stages without scoring a goal.

Spain or Holland

[Athlai]

Yeah the Dutch were my second team followed closely by daylight. Will be pretty disappointed if the Spanish win, probably deserve it though.

Err how would they deserve it? By playing flashy football but being second best in most of their games?

Not like you to be bitter because one of your predictions turned out to be total arse Scaly.

Any team can fluke their way through. They've not come up against any team playing particularly well and they should have been knocked out at least twice already. Two other times the teams gave them the win because of rank incompetence.

If you ran this tournament 100 times Spain would have made it to the final once. This is the once. Even I can't be held accountable for that sort of ridiculous luck.

Didn't you say the exact same thing about them winning euro '08 though? Don't you perhaps think it just maybe more than a co-incidence/ridiculous luck that they've won 1, and made it to the final of the other of the 2 most prominent international tournaments in the past 2 years?
