Is anyone stoked as i am about the world cup this summer? Ive already made a bracket and my vote to win it all is netherlands. Who are you guys rooting for and did any body here buy tickets? Ive always wanted to visit Germany and this looks like a good excuse for me to go

IMHO Brazil still has the biggest chance to win the world cup. England was a good candidate but Wayne rooney's injury is definitely a blow to their capability.

I betting netherland, young talented.



True, also Brazil have all the pressure on them for being favorites and crap like that, under pressure many crack. For example 2002 World Cup in Asia, France and Argintina didnt even go past the first round and they were strong favorites to win it all.

Brazil or Argentina have the best hopes........UK is not a team.

I'm going for Australia... but to be honest I highly doubt we'll get far.

Would be funny if we took it out though.

I don't think I'll ever actually go for Brazil. The last time I saw them play they played very dirty and I was disgusted by them. I know every team does it but they took it to new heights.

I'll probably go for England, then I'm not really sure...

I'll just decide after I've watched some of the teams play.

I too think Brazil will probably win the cup. Ronaldinho is just amazing. However, I am rooting for Italy to win!

I've got tickets for 3 games.

Germany as the host team could have had some chances if their coach wasn't a smooth-talking but nonetheless incompetent and complete ass, and the fact that Germany doesn't have any exceptional players except for Ballack and the two goalies. But I'll still be rooting for Germany anyways!

The rest isn't much except for Ronaldinho, Kaka, Emerson, Lucio, Dida, Ze Roberto and a few others,

Italy plays dirty, so i will not be rooting for them. Did you see how they treated the korean team in 2002. So no blue for me
