Please watch the U-20 Womens World Cup and Actual Womens World Cup, held in your country this year and next year respectively.

Gonna watch Christine Sinclair score a million goals and lead us to World Cup glory :getin:

...or at least I would if the tournament had bothered to hold any games in Toronto, Canada's largest city with the most football fans. Our country is loving stupid.

I support USA because I was born in the USA and live in the USA. I still like Netherlands because when I was young they were cool and good and had orange uniforms and funny haircuts.

I read an article a few weeks ago that said that even though it's round, because it has those little bumps instead of being smooth like the Jabulani, it doesn't have the same weird effects and should behave more predictably. Won't stop keepers from complaining about it though.

I'm aware. Doesn't make it less stupid that the biggest city in the country doesn't get to host any matches at all.

It's like holding it in Brazil and having no games in Rio.

England doing well would only make Nigel Farage happy, and the England team is comprised entirely of twats, so I'm just going to be an unpatriotic prick, enjoy the football and laugh when England crash out of the group stage.

I'm going to watch as much of the World Cup as possible, it will be good and fun and I won't have to drown any sorrows. I might, however, have to drink to get through a few tedious 0-0 group stage matches.

Any word on how spherical the ball is this year?

Nothing wrong here. However, as much as I am not a bleeding die hard fan of the USMNT, I want them to win the most because I am American.

This is pretty much my stance. I realize that my post was pretty dumb but as it's obvious I really don't know what I'm talking about!

I will be supporting Australia because I live here and was born here and I believe they really do have a chance to win a game since I have mental health problems.

In reality once they bomb out of the group stage I'll hedge my Like bets on my German and English heritage.

If you're European you should use Eurovision voting trends as a guide. Under no circumstances should you ever support a country that your country did not give any votes to.

If your country is at the World Cup you must support them and them alone or you are a giant poo poo. Once they go out, feel free to be a fan of the other teams (but you must dislike the team that knocked your team out).

This is true with the exception that if that team gets to the final you should support them because then there's no shame for your country in getting knocked out by the eventual winner.
