Why cant you just root for the team you like and not mention the federation they're from every 5 minutes?

well it came up a couple of pages ago because a guy on TV said it, but I think it's a way of making a team that's not strictly your country/squad into a "Go Us" or a "We" instead of "Go That Team Of Thems". i don't know it seems like a normal tribal expression of fandom

and anyways the entire northwest quadrant is the USAs in deed if not in name

Actually it was Slate.

Also, Costa Rica has been even more amazing when you realize that they've gone on this run without Alvaro Saborio, who's their active leader in both caps and goals. He broke a foot about a month ago.

Cheering for CONCACAF has to do with the fact that everyone says CONCACAF is poo poo and doesn't deserve as many spots as they have.

I don't care though I still smiled when Mexico lost.

kinda rude y'all i'm answering a question that seemed to be bothering

Are you misreading that as me saying they haven't played each other for a long time? or are you implying there is a long history of world cup tournaments where several CONCACAF teams were looking cream of the crop, real contenders ? CR making it to the QFs is maybe the 4th time any CONCACAF team has gone that far

USA v Mexico has a lil rivalry from Confederations and Olympics but the rest is unknown friendly vassal states.

hah can you imagine Canada or Haiti thinking it's rivaling the USA just because they play a sport good

You probably didn't mean that the way it reads, or I read it different from what you meant.

Yes, there is a sibling rivalry with Mexico that Euros don't understand. And no one gets how Honduras can qualify, unless you've seen footage of their home games, or god forbid been to one- piss throwing? Hah, they invented it as a warmup like the anthems.

Who cares or complains about regions lol at least in this forum I've never heard of it. Also how can there be any competition when it's WC winners: UEFA 10 CONMEBOL 9 CONCACAF 0 I don't like to lord the European supremacy over the minnows but drat you guys keep bringing it up...some kind of inferiority complex?

Just a reminder that while Costa Rica pulled off some insanely sick upsets to win their group and have now managed to knock out the mighty Greeks via penalty shoot-out, it does not make them a good side. Italy were wretched and England were in complete not giving a poo poo mode. The only reason Greece keep qualifying for these tournaments is because they keep lucking into the easiest qualifying groups possible (quite a few superior European teams didn't qualify for this WC eg Sweden, Denmark, Serbia, Slovenia) and Greece are a marginally better side than Costa Rica.

I can't help but root for a good underdog though so off course I'll be hoping the Costa Ricans knock the Dutch out.

Sweden played Portugal in the playoff, so only one could go. Greece defeated Romania, who were actually favored but fell apart when they played in Greece. Neither topped their group.
