I'll update the scoring after each game so we can keep a little record here.
Brasil! I'm german, and I admit: Germany really sucks. They can't play football Part of my family is in brasil, so BRASIL FTW!
Spain are great but they suck at the World Cup, if they drop out early I'm jumping on the Brazil bandwagon!
Where I'm from (a.k.a. Brazil), you do whatever you can to win, especially if the ref doesn't call it... Also, that isn't the song iVaro, this is it:
Because we only play real football in the USA (albeit if we played like we did against Spain, we have a chance) I'm cheering for IVORY COAST! YEAH!
I still think that it was a fluke USA beat Spain... Did you see how many shots Spain had on USA that managed to ricochet of a defender or just one of their random eight players in the box? It's hard to keep out that many shots twice.
The official song is fantastic! Blows that Shakira's singing it. I'd personally be pissed if I were K'Naan. Now I gotta figure out how I'm gonna catch a couple games. Hate that there aren't any channels at home.
