Kaka is old news blitty

 

[Blitty]

I miss that guy. He played in South Africa 2010, no?

 

[Mudcat]

As long as I don't have to watch any of it, I'm cool with the FIFA World Cup.

My pick for today --> Brazil!

The majority of the time this is how Tron rolls in the WC:

Fanatical rooting for US and Italy
Normal rooting for Nigeria and Uruguay.
Root for any side playing against Spain, Mexico, Brazil and Germany.

 

[reno cool]

why Mexico?

 

[Tron]

US v Mexico is one of international soccers biggest rivalries

 

[Gilmartin]

why Mexico?

I don't know if it's Tron's reasoning or not, but many US fans cheer against El Tri because there is a big soccer rivalry between the US and Mexico.

Me:
Fanatical rooting for US
Normal rooting for England and Netherlands
Root for any side playing against Spain, Mexico, and Uruguay

 

[Gilmartin]

^ a bit late to the party, I see. My bad.

 

[reno cool]

I didn't know US was good enough to have rivalries :hides:

 

[reno cool]

I mostly like watching all the teams, especially Brazil. Do get a kick out of watching England lay an egg every world cup.

You don't have to be good to have rivalries; it usually just comes down to geographical proximity. I bet there is even a big US Virgin Islands / British Virgin Islands rivalry. Yes, they do both have teams.

 

[Tron]

I didn't know US was good enough to have rivalries :hides:

USA ranked #13 out of 207 countries.

Common, noob. Keep up.

[roguejuror]

I miss that guy. He played in South Africa 2010, no?

Yes

 

[roguejuror]

[Tron]

What a pathetic dive in the box by that filthy Brazilian. He should have gotten at least a yellow for that.

Croatias goalkeeper. Lololololkl
