I would like England to do well, but I don't like half the players and have never heard of the other half. I also don't particularly like all the plastics who come out of the woodwork, although they are so much better than the English ABEs and the plastic non-English ABEs. Got no time at all for them cunts.
Always had a soft spot for Holland, and more recently Greece. The World Cup is much better for following the underdogs though.
Ireland & the Czech Republic have got a ex-Swindon players, so I hope they also do well.

I see Oxford and Swindion fans can have something in common here.
I'm going to be supporting England, even though I live in Wales now
, it'll be England for me**. Mainly because I am fucking English and it would be pretty weird and strange if I didn't support my own country at the game I love best. I do agree with Onket though about not liking a fair few of the players.

I'm English so I will be supporting my national team, I realise that a lot of the squad are pricks but then again I suspect it might be something endemic in the game and if the press coverage was as intense on other players we'd see similar things.
I don't think we have much of a chance, getting out of the group would be a success but we could yet finish bottom. I'd like to see Ireland have a decent run but after that I'm not that bothered. I don't want Germany to do well simply because a friend has a German partner who is a very unpleasant person and horrifically arrogant about football, it'd be fun watching them lose.

I fucking hate Spain so much. Killing games with their shitty triangles on the halfway line. "Oh sorry, did you come to watch a competitive football match? No, none of that here, we're going to dominate possession by seeing if we can play 400 risk-free passes in a row. And if you happen to beat us we'll accuse you of parking the bus even though it was out tactics that killed the game as spectacle. LOOOOOOOOOL"

Sweden. After eurovision there'll be no stopping them
I still think they've got the best team but everyone else has worked out how to beat them now, defend deep and hit on the counter attack, plus they are vulnerable from set pieces. Get ready for loads of 'they play anti-football' moaning from the likes of Fabregas etc.

they'll be worse now they've got no strikers. The defending deep thing is neither here nor there, it's what happens when you can't get hold of the ball.

I usually support Germany but for the first time ever there's an array of City players in it and it's club over country for me.
David Silva: As Lo Siento says, Spain can go fuck themselves with their triangles.
At least Silva has a bit of flair and hopefully he attempts some passes over 5 metres. If he does he'll probably get dropped for the next game.
Joe Hart & Joleon Lescott: Just hoping they are not at any fault for any of the goals conceded by England. Phil Jones should help with that scenario.
Samir Nasri & Gael Clichy: About time Nasri shone. Apart from that don't really care. Prefer Kolarov to Clichy anyway.
Nigel De Jong: I like the De Jong-Van Bommell overkill, especially against Busquets but other than that don't have much enthusiasm for the Netherlands.
Super Mario: He's got the No9 shirt for Italy. Forza Ballotelli. I'll be mainly cheering for them I think.

I like the spoilers and the supposed bad guys (Italy, Argentina, Uruguay and old school Germany). Always always wanted Nike, I mean Brazil to lose in the WC and Spain are at the top of my loathing list these days: I want to watch a god game of football, not some bloody version of keep ball with cunts like Busquets falling over if someone gets within a foot of him.

Since spending quite a bit of time over the last 5 or 6 years visiting friends in Berlin, I have now softened in my approach to the German national team.
In 1994 I remember watching the final at the Phoenix festival and there were about 10 people 'supporting' Italy and thousands 'supporting' Brazil. Quite right too.
They have gone a bit more 'nike' since then though, yeah.
Spain? Who are they?

tbf Berlin still isn't a real representation of Germany although it's becoming more gentrified (German) each year. I lived there for 10 years through the 90s and the most decent Berliners (& settlers from other German regions there to avoid national service) usually always loath the German national team and go for the underdogs.
Go anywhere else in Germany and, as previously mentioned, the average Germans' arrogance towards football will soon turn you into an ABG.
Me: 1.England 2.Ireland 3.ABG
