World Cup 2006
It's like Christmas....for a month!!!
What determines if I like a team?
- How much I like the people from that country
- My past experiences with people from that country
- The past success of the team
- How much I like the country itself
- The realistic chances of the team advancing
- How cute the players on the team are
- and of course the way they play. My methods are not completely bogus.
Based on these qualifications, these are my personal opinions on some teams...which are not meant to be completely serious or to offend anyone who is completely serious.
USA: If they are able to win the #1 spot in their group, which would mean beating Italy, there is still a chance in the quarterfinals. If they come in #2, they will most likely have to play Brazil, which means they should pack their bags before the game. I will still have faith for my motherland.
England: Not sure how Rooney is doing but apparently the hype is that they're not much without him. What ever happened to Beckham?? He got too cute. I hope Rooney recovers in time.
Germany: I know they're the host team, but I don't like stinkin' Germans. They're evil Nazis. And that wench Jessica is half German, speaks it and everything.
Mexico: I have a love-hate relationship with Mexico, but I have family in Mexico, and in Costa Rica, so I'd root for them. I'm not too sure if either team has much of a chance this year though.
Italy: I love everything Italian, and they're one of the top teams, so GOOO ITALY!!!
Brazil: They're the best, everyone knows it, they've won FIVE championships in a tournament that only happens every four years...that's impressive. I get it. I used to have the biggest crush on Ronaldo. But really, it's almost too much. Let another team have a little glory.
Tunisia: The only north African team in the Cup. I'd root for them based on that, but Redouane's roommate is Tunisian. He's a nice guy, but he's married, and he has two girlfriends, and he thinks it's funny. I'm not laughing.
Argentina: Usually I'd like them, the guys are so hot, but Redouane was married to an Argentinean a couple years ago and he's just a little too excited about the team for me not to be a little peeved. I still like them somewhat though, if they play well I'll probably end up loving them again.
Holland: Amsterdam....GO HOLLAND!!!!
So, to anyone who cares about this marvelous event which is about to start TOMORROW, have fun and go crazy because it only happens every four years.

I'm too much of a football fan to not comment on things. First of all, how dare you say England are nothing without Rooney! We have a superb midfield and if they can gel properly (and Ferdinand can be arsed) we have a solid defence. The only problem we have is up front and the manager, who is a waste of space. What happened to Beckham? He went to Spain and got lazy. He was never much good at anything other than passing/crossing and free kicks, but now he can't even be bothered to run up and down the line, which he used to. If you want cute English players then check out Frank Lampard... I know a lot of girls who really like him. Michael Owen doesn't do too badly, either. Rooney is a fantastic player, but I don't think you could ever call him attractive! :-s
I hate to tell you this, but the USA have got very little chance of making it through the group stages. Italy and the Czech Republic are very strong sides and I have a feeling that Ghana will be very difficult to beat. I wouldn’t go expecting anything other than fourth, if I were you. Third is a realistic target, but I cannot see you even getting third. That is a very nasty group.
You can’t like the Italians, their style of play is far too boring. :-p I don’t support Mexico because they’re ranked too highly by Fifa, officially they’re in the top ten teams in the world… they’re nowhere near that! How the hell did you ever have a crush on Ronaldo?! He’s so ugly! No Englishman will ever support the Argies, either. The Hand of God incident along with the World Cup 1998 exit will make sure of that… oh and the small matter of the Falklands. I don’t know how you can find them attractive, either… they’re so greasy! :-p I am a fan of Holland, though. They play good football. I like them. Brazil will probably win, they are the favourites, but you need to remember that this is in the Northern Hemisphere and only one team has managed a win outside of their hemisphere (albeit that was Brazil), if I remember right. I have concerns about their defence, as well. Although their attack is lethal… even with their tubby striker, Ronaldo. :-p
Anyways, I shall stop now, as I could go on for ever.
