Natch, the US... :D

But other than us I hope the other CONCACAF teams (Mexico and Costa Rica) make some noise. I would bet against any of those three teams winning it, but the deeper the runs the better the trash talking when we play each other in our various confederation tournaments...bragging rights and all. :wink:

Colombia. Genuinely the best team I have seen play so far. And this is without their best player.

Belgium I suppose.

Loads of them over here, obvs, but they don't take themselves seriously.

Germany - I've chosen to live here so makes sense to support them to. Even have a retro top.

This^^^^

Imagine if they had Flacao too......Although there's alot to be said about complacency when you have a world beater on your team, look at Portugal.
J Rod and J Mart are incredible.

The Netherlands obviously.

Still think it will be an Argentina v Brazil final though. The whole tournament has been set up to make this happen. Argentina to win.

Maybe it is a good thing Falcao isn't there? If he was most things would be going centrally to him like when he plays for Monaco (and every time I have seen him play there he hasn't been all that and looked disinterested). As a result of him not being there Colombia have been probably more fluid and going all over the pitch rather then pumping crosses to his head. I really hope the go far, think they will. They had a tough group, should beat a Suarez-less Uruguay and then it's anyone's guess.

Love watching Argentina play, so would be happy to see them win it in the Maracana.

I am taking it one game at a time and choosing who to support on that basis. All I hope for is that anyone but Brazil win it as I am sick of all the psychophantic slags licking their ring pieces and creaming their pants.

Nice. I too would have Greece last (or bloody close to it) I think mine is an irrational hatred though, no idea what's caused it.

Yeh, I didn't even realise I had anything against them until I started writing the list. I don't think I hate them, they just bore me.

They destroyed an entire Euro Championships.

The least lovable underdogs of all time.
