I'm rooting for Argentina, but only if 500,000 people start chanting "Que Se Vayan Todos" at Team USA!!!

Argentina - Sorin, Pekerman and Samuel, representin my people (Jews, that is). Plus, Sorin's kind of a lefty, I believe he made some political cartoons or something and distributed them free to people in stadiums, and just seems like a thoroughly decent human being.

Then I guess the US - as much as I hate the jingoistic fervor that surrounds the team, that's not the team's fault, and they are the underdog - plus, I am from the US, heh ;)

LOL, when was the last time the USA won anyway? If ever? I think I would like the USA to win if only because it would cause a huge upset, and I tend to hate sports, so I would just laugh and laugh, heh.

Plus, it'd have the potential to piss off some crazy Europeans, and how can anyone be against that?

Yeah, Sweden or Ghana for me. I was rooting for the US ("home team"), but at the same time wanted them to lose (no need to explain why, right?).

Polska! - Though after the humiliating defeat to Ecuador it doesn't look likely they'll even get out of their group.

I hate "anarchist" soccer.

my team didnt classify for the world cup, but I am going for my neighboring team Argentina. I support the Polish team too, but they didnt look that good against Ecuador. Fuck it really, any south american team for me !!

Poland played much better against Germany, Artur Boruc was amazing, but unfortunetly he could only stop so many shots on goal before one got through and that's all Germany needed. Poland's early exit was a real disapointment as they were touted as the best Polish team since 1974 when they placed third (beating Brazil 1-0)

Now that Poland is eliminated I'm going to back the favorites Brazil. I'm tired of supporting a losing team!

Well, the US did make it to the quarterfinals last year and neither Ghana nor the Czech Republic were in it at all (nor in 98). Most believed the US would have at least made it to the QF this year as well. They just played awful this year. They need a new head coach.

Part of our problem is also the fact most good athletes in the U.S. go into other sports because there is far less money and fame in soccer, not to mention how tough it is physically in comparisn to others. High schools put less emphasis on their soccer teams, many don't even have one. In pop culture, basketball and football are cool, soccer doesn't even exist.
