Not only (even if...).

For ex, there are less and less freedom (if you say "France team has only black players, you can go to jail!") and "equality" (some "pp" have now more rights in jobs than others) in here.
Plus, the governement who lies to citizen, for ex telling that the rate of unemployment has been decreased the past few months, which is not true at all! Anyway, that's another debate.

Wait a minute... why should I care that France win that stupid cup ? I'm not French! forza azzurri ! :wink:[/i]

Too bad about Equador, I think they could've done much better against Portugal than England :roll:

Czech Rep.... that was a shock! I was thinking they'd make it to the final 4...

You're right about the government, but yes that's another debate. :wink:

I could say that i've some spanish roots then too, in my french blood!^^
But also another debate here again! :wink:

On topic: let's see how Portugal works! It would be nice to see them more! Why not?

Then, if we are talking about backgrounds, apart from Argentina, I could support Italy (I am an Italian citizen after all :D ), Germany and Sweden. :? :D

I watched Germany-Argentina with my family.. They were nearly crying because Argentina lost :D although they're from Bolivia. It's just that there are too many european teams in the World Cup, and now they were hoping that Brasil would make it to the final, so that at least one of "them" would remain upon all these Europeans..

Well, in football, Argentina and Brasil are rivals, although leaving football aside, there are no rivalries really. :) Btw, Bolivians rule!

What teams I'd support... well Cyprus, but since we're totally rubbish at football Greece pretty much play for us, Colombia obviously, and I have German roots so Germany too then.

This is irrelevant with the world cup, but it has to do with football... The greek football federation has been suspended... Well, too bad.

I guess so too. I hope Portugal could go to final too as I support them but for me it´s no matter if France wins them in semifinal.

My guess for the order:

Semifinals:
Germany wins Italy
Portugal wins France

Bronze game:
France wins Italy*

Final:
German wins Portugal

*= I´ve never liked the style Italians play soccer and there are some some kind of selfish-oriented players I don´t like too...

i'd say Semi Finals :
Germany wins Italy
France wins Portugal

Bronze :
Portugal wins Italy

Finale :
Germany wins France.
