Who are you supporting?

[SpookyFrank]

I would like too see Belgium win but I'm not sure why. And I've got a soft spot for Poland so I wish them well too.

I'm not supporting Enlgand because there's no fucking point.

No point of what? Winning/doing well? Not into the football myself but do people not generally support their team even if they're not very good?

Not even not good, just too fucking boring to watch. I didn't even bother with the Russia game and considering a dubious substitution seems to have been the most interesting talking point from the whole thing I can't say I regret that.

Think how much better the last world cup got once England went out.

 

[quimcunx]

Me:

Wales
France
Italy

In that order.

Perfect start P3 W3

 

[Riklet]

England
Wales
Ireland

No Bosnia otherwise I would be backing 'em. Albania may have to be my plucky underdog choice!

I live in Spain but just have never felt it! in 2012 when Spain won I was in Bilbao, probably the least celebrating city in the whole of the country... which was grand

...
Italy ( I have a bet on them and think they are underrated )
...

Sound investment!

Got them to win the group , qualify for quarters and semis. Also backed Portugal to do same and e/w for the trophy.

Ireland.

I fail to understand how anybody can support another team unless your own nation failed to qualify.

In response to the thread, I'm 'supporting' England, and only England. That said, I will only be able to enjoy the spectacle once they're inevitably knocked out - they're so painful / frustrating / infuriating / shit (add or remove your own adjective) to watch most of the time, that it's the only time I can settle down and watch games without my blood pressure skyrocketing.

How are you defining "your own nation"?

 

[Steel Icarus]

Always like to see Italy do well. Was awful in 2006 when my fave team played against my fave player (Zidane) in the WCF.
But I will be rooting for Spain as I love to watch Iniesta, and Iceland cos that white kit is just lovely.

1. Norn Iron

3. Anyone but england

I'm not, but you can if you wish.
