Are YOU watching the World Cup?! Well, even if you're not, you can now check this thread to see who's doing well, and who isn't doing so well!

Which team are you cheering on? Have you got bets placed? What are your match predictions?

I have been cheering on England, my home team... but they are not great, lulz. Never mind.

The Runaways



I'm terribly amused by the fact that America is doing better than England.

As for favourites, my money's on Netherlands. They trounced Spain so much. I also liked their game against Australia yesterday, loved the way each side kept clawing back a goal.

I also hope that Italy do well too. I enjoy shouting "BALOTELLI!" at the tv screen. <3

Oh, England are doing so badly sad.gif The only chance we have now is if Italy beat both Costa Rica and Uruguay, and then England need to beat Costa Rica as well, and then we need to hope our goal difference is better than both Costa Rica's AND Uruguay's sad.gif We actually have no chance lmao.

I like The Netherlands, too. The way they played against Spain was amazing, so if England get booted out (which isn't even worth putting money on because i probably is going to happen) I want The Netherlands to win grin.gif

Haha, you poor guys. Maybe what y'all need is a rousing speech from George Best's ghost. Me and my granddad were discussing England's chances last night, and he too figured it'd come down to goal difference. And a wing and a prayer.

Initially I was going with Brazil, but after their poor performance on the first day and The Netherland's beastly performance, my support swiftly shifted.

Thoughts on what other teams will get far in this competition? My grandpa seems to think that Germany is in with a good chance.

Well, since Italy lost their game to Costa Rica yesterday, that puts all hopes of us winging our way into the finals to bed. Lmao. Oh, and we were meant to be "THE BEST TEAM IN OUR GROUP". Turns out we're the worst lmao.

I agree, Germany could do very well! But I'm seeing these other countries that never usually make it far, like Costa Rica, USA, France, Colombia and Chile, and I'm seeing how far ahead they are in their groups, and I'm thinking, yeah, they could go quite far. But then, I've not really watched their games, so I don't know how well they were playing.

I think I may have to put some money on The Netherlands. I really do think they could go the whole way.

I'm hoping Uruguay and Portugal don't get any further than the group stages. I can't stand Suarez's and Ronaldo's faces, lol. Brilliant players, but they're just so smug and I hate it.

I'm from the Netherlands, and I like the team's chances, they're doing well!
Love the way they played against Spain, and the game against Australia was a thrilling one. o.o
Next game for the Netherlands is Monday, against Chili. Looking forward to it!

Uruguay did pretty well in the most recent game, too.
Suarez played in Dutch teams for a while, so I know him a bit, and it's nice to see a 'familiar' face.
He made some spectacular goals.

Captain Epic, I know how you feel about Ronaldo. Don't have the same feeling with Suarez, but I see what you mean.

EDIT: Nooooo Suarez. What are you doing, biting someone on the field? o.o

Wait, who's "Flame?" I see no "Flame" here, and I doubt there ever will be a "Flame," in plain sight or otherwise. Besides, you wouldn't call, sweet, precious Flare by any other name, would you?

I'm not following it, but according to your scores, Belgium and Germany (two countries I really like) seem to be both doing well grin.gif

Oh, and the US. That's nice, too, I guess. Whateves.

Bummed out that my original picks - Spain, Russia, England, and the US - are all out, but I'm happy at least one of them (the US) made it into the round of 16.

Now I'm for a Germany vs Netherlands final, but I'll be happy if just one of them gets in. c:

I'm hoping for a Germany vs Netherlands final, the only times the Dutch were in the final were in 1974, 1978 and 2014. All three matches were lost, so I hope we will win this year happy.gif

Dutch got to the third place match, which is close enough, & they claimed third. It was nice to see Germany win though! My mom was for Argentina, so I was happy when Germany ended up winning by one.

Brazil got destroyed in the final two. I guess losing Neymar and Silva for the match against Germany & not having Neymar for the match against the Netherlands was it for them. I wonder how it would've turned out if Neymar hadn't been knocked out of the tournament for the final two matches. cat.gif
