haha I would take it or leave it but my brasilian husband.. umm well lets say he is pretty excited

[hathorcat]

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So excited...4 weeks of football. 4 WEEKS PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *jumps around happy* And because its Brazil the games are even all on at a reasonable time for us in the UK

[and the tennis packed in to 2 weeks of that and the British Grand Prix makes that new tv totally worth the investment ]

I have a soft spot for the US and Australia - a couple of the favourite players ever to play for the team I support came from the US and Aus [Claudio Reyna & Craig Moore] so I like to see them do well.

However I ll be supporting the Netherlands - 2 years of living there not to mention that my team's greatest time was when we had world class Dutch players in our team makes them my favourite. So GO TEAM ORANGE!!!! It can be dangerous wearing an orange football shirt in south west Scotland for obvious reasons but I ll be sporting it tomorrow night for them!

Sorry, our house is strictly a NO FOOTBALL zone!

*gasp* 

Just kidding, I know not everyone's a fan. 

I went to one of the "Road to Brazil" friendlies last week (Spain-El Salvador), and even though it was meaningless, it was great fun. 

I miss living in Toronto now, because I always love going through a parking area and seeing all the different flags on (nearly) everyone's car.

[melodys_angel]

Oh yeah, let the flags wave free and the horns honk xD

We..can get pretty passionate come Fifa football!  And our house is usually split down the middle. 50% Italy, 50% Germany, 100% hard headed! (Its 100% true and I can say that because I AM part German, part Italian )

Oh yeah! Let's go

Jlhgoddersutd, I love the English Moondancer in your signature.  All of my close Brit friends hate soccer- they are so disappointing 

Sprintex, I'm completely down with a no football zone.  No soccer on the other hand, that will never happen!

Hervoyel, I went to a friendly in November, US women vs Brasil, very fun!

nhal039, I'm right there with your husband.  It is good to see the Cup return to a place with such a fab soccer history.

Hathorcat, I know, a whole month, I just love it!  And it was great to see the Netherlands even things up with the South African finale replay against Spain the other day.

Sora, I love to see Pikachu getting into the game, so cute!

melodys_angel, without Oliver Kahn, I find it hard to support the Germans but Italy plays a nice game.

[melodys_angel]

Hey, they showed a lot of respect yesterday and im proud of them for that!

Headbutting a downed player purposely, that was low!

[mlp4me]

Yay USA won on monday!

[Honeycomb]

I really enjoyed the match Germany vs. Portugal. First time ever that I had fun watching football. But this morning when I woke up and read about Spain ....   
I guess I will be supporting Germany now, because usually Spain is my favourite team.

[melodys_angel]

Well, this erks me.

I went downstairs and the tv was on.  Apparently some American channels are celebrating something fierce that they HAVE won the whole cup, are #1 and so on. The eagle on one side and 'we are the #1 champions' in HUGE white text across the screen.

Im sorry.  I have many friends from south of the border, but I will be surprised if the US makes it to the quarter finals.  Being downright arrogant about it makes things worse.

You have some super strong teams..Brazil, Italy, Germany...even England that are known to make it the whole way up. And they all know that anything can happen..I mean, look at what happened to Spain (who was the crowd favourite after they went all the way pre fifa), and Italy 4 years ago (a freaking disgrace!)

Sure, there will be horn honks and flag waving, but going to the level of falsely advertising something on national tv...not cool.

Sorry guys, this is just as bad as poor sportsmanship on the field.  Far from classy.

[Snix]

I go, as a good football fanatic, with the Spanish ``Red´´. Well..its better to say that i ``was´´

Thanx for that 7 years of awesome football matches guys and all of the unolvidable moments, even if we lost fast now on Brazil. Iniesta, Xabi, Cesc, Villa, Torres... This golden age isn´t going to be forgotten NEVER, and Spain is going to come back. Be sure of it.

And, even losing, we are still faaar better than the americans (a little pun )
