Who to root for?

[sledger]

Haha oh yeah, the original gag was made by German characters, Not sure how I forget that. Oh well, Belgium is still sometimes called the land of chocolate as well.

Well, so did she

No Arjen Robben/Netherlands means I have no team to root for.

Haven't watched football since the last WC and want to throw some money on a team with odds between 10 and 30 purely for the sweat. Also shouldn't have an attritional playing style.

What is the best value out of:

Argentina - 10/1
Belgium - 10/1
England - 16/1
Portugal - 25/1
Uruguay - 25/1

Thanks.

Eh. Bet on something like Iceland making it to the quarters imo.

As i've said, not really looking to max out value. just want to root for a team to win the WC that is not one of the favourites but has an outside chance, for the sweat.

Just reading up on icelands road to qualification - I think they've got to be the team for sure. It works out as their games are scheduled on days/times where I'll actually be able to watch them.

Given how racist the hosts are, the feel-good story would be Senegal or Nigeria going a long way this time.

 

[Daemon]

They should come out as gay after beating Russia (and leaving the country). Would be so good.

Rooting for Spain cuz the gf does.














Now all I need are suggestions for two other teams to support

***** bitterly disappointed that all 17 of the countries he usually supports didn't make it.

 

[cnerd123]

I don't support countries. I support teams. Sports and politics don't mix for me. I'm not a rampant nationalist.


Wouldn't expect an Australian to understand that tbf

 

[Burgey]

That explains your profound disappointment at the LA galaxy not qualifying.

 

[cnerd123]

That was a tough one to handle, I must admit

 

[StephenZA]

Not England apparently.....

Yeah good choice. Great fan culture with the Viking scene and the thunderclap. Plus they’re the smallest country ever to qualify and got good by building top-class pitches in every school in the country.

A country that calls their high schools 'Gymnasia' is bound to do well in sports eventually

 

[silentstriker]

THAT was fun.

 

[Pratters]

I don't root for any team really. I enjoy the various styles and skills on display.

 

[Burgey]

The whole world will be supporting Australia tonight. A bastion of skill, sportsmanship and athletic prowess such as Australia making its way to the second round is i the entire globe’s best interests.
