[lofticries]

Tomorrow is the day guys!Let's get some predictions going! And tell me who ya'll rooting for

Spoiler: ....

and against.

My teams: Belgium, Japan, South Korea, and Mexico.

 

[AdaSmiles]

Canada

 

[noname223]

I will probably boycott the world cup. I am not sure whether I will be strong enough if Germany was in the final though. But I think we are out pretty early.

Don't want to ruin it for others. But in my country there is way more coverage on the ethics of this world cup than about the matches.

So Germany is already a world cup winner in hypermorality.

Who will win? My guess would be France. But I am not that deep into the topic compared to several years ago.
Second favorite Italy and then Brazil

 

[Chinaski]

Boycotting also, fuck FIFA.

 

[BrokenOak]

Boycotting also, fuck FIFA.

Ah, we Scots have been doing this for over twenty years! Everyone doing it this time out is late to the party :D

 

[Angst Filled Fuck Up]

Holland and England. They don't really go together, but my background dictates that is who I must support. I'm too lazy to boycott anything.

 

[looseye]

I'm not from Argentina but if anyone deserves a world cup trophy, it's Lionel Messi

 

[lofticries]

I know the host nation has never lost a first game but I hope Ecuador stomps.

Still hate that the world cup is in the winter over here. The holidays kinda cock block it.

 

[GenesAndEnvironment]

That's the one where they kick the sportsball, yes? I want China to win.

 

[Domimi]

Italy didn't qualify g_g

I was rooting so hard for ecuator that match, I wish qatar doesn't score even a single goal this WC LOL

About topic: Ever since I was a kid I never supported my HC (Brazil) and ppl used to call me "vira-lata"(mutt) all the time. Never undestood why you have to root for a team just because of your nationality ?_? I always root for Germany because I like their playstyle, and I'm rooting for Netherlands too because of a bet. Also, hoping that Ghana makes it out of their group. I can root for any team if I start to sympathize with them mid-tournament too.

That was me with Croatia in 2018. I was gutted when they lost the final. I hope they win this time, or else I might just CTB.

 

[DeadButDreaming]

Iran is getting slaughtered.

Edit: 14 minutes stoppage time - never seen that before.

 

[lofticries]

Lol plz don't let this be a 7-1 game.

To think some of my fellow Americans believe usmnt ain't getting curbstomped by england this tournament. There's still a debate whether they can even beat or tie with wales.

Is it me or is this england nt looking very...2014 germany nt.

Fuck.

Ecuador might become the dark horse of the tournament. At least that's what I'm hoping for. That first goal by them with the captain was beautiful.

Yeah hoping the qatar team tanks as well. It would be deserved considering what kinda bullshit lead to the cup being held in that country. Host but out the first round and no goal to celebrate.

Lol same. The usmnt doesn't do it for me. Every gold cup final I'm always rooting for mexico. Will even root for them now if they should face usmnt this world cup. However I'm all usmnt if they beat england somehow. That would be a hilarious upset plus I can't stand england nt. I Blame the majority of their fans.

 

[Himalayan]

I wish Japan win this time. They probably will suck since always tho. Let's see

 

[lofticries]

Netherlands with that extra last clutch.

Damn it usmnt pull through!!!!

 

[greebo6]

England. Always England.
We are probably not quite good enough to win it, but we should do okay.
Semi Final maybe.
But to win it again would be wonderful ....1966 is a long time ago now....

 

[jamie_]

The proper World Cup (rugby league) just ended guys, you missed out.

 

[lofticries]

Man, fuck bale.

Usmnt's only hope is if Wales and Iran are more crap than them.

The only game tmr I'm really gonna be here for is mexico vs Poland. The rest of the three games are kinda a given. France, denmark, and Argentina take this.

 

[Phill]

Rooting for... maybe Portugal. I like Italy, but it didn't qualify.

 

[MoreThanAFeeling]

Hope Germany wins.. Or an underdog country. And I hope my man Füllkrug wins the top scorer trophy.

Happy to see pessi lose today

 

[MoreThanAFeeling]

Germany

 

[lofticries]

Looks like two favorites Germany and Argentina shit the bed. Feel bad for messitina. Not for Germany cuz Japan one of my underdog teams.

Thank God Ochoa came through once again for mexico. No idea how far they'll go but as always I'll root for them.

I have to go to work so will miss the canada vs belgium game.

Hope it's as good as the Japan vs Germany game.

Lets go Belgium!

 

[noname223]

I am proud of my country (Germany). The players seemingly boycotted to show a good performance in order to ruin this game for most German fans who are ignorant enough to watch these matches.
(Joke I don't want to offend anyone here.)

 

[lofticries]

Ain't no one talking about Argentina or Germany anymore after that performance by Costa Rica. Scared to watch the highlights.

 

[BluesRunTheGame]

Now that everyone's played it looks like the best are Brazil, (my) England, France and Spain. Wales are basically out now after losing to Iran earlier.

Please don´t let the current or record World Cup winners win this tournament. PLEASE!!!

Qatar is getting robbed lmao Let's pray for the physical integrity of the referee after the match

Much better qualified Countries got robbed from hosting the current WC.

I am not watching the game but if it is true what you are saying than he is a hero.

The ref denied Qatar a penalty kick when the match was 0-0. Senegal's second goal was from a robbed corner kick. There was a dirty foul in Qatar's favour that could have resulted in a red card.
