[Football] Who do you now want to win the World Cup?

[ManOfSussex]

As much as it would be fantastic to have a world cup winner in the Albion ranks, I'm another A.B.Aer. It's just ingrained in me to always want their opponents to beat them.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

The choice is France ! Argentina ! A country not even in the semi final ! And anyone else.
Definitely Morocco.

 

[Zeberdi]

Still want England - but accept the ship has sailed on that one

So, equally unrealistically, I think it would be fantastic for World Cup football if Morocco won.

But, as I said after our match yesterday, we did proud and went out to the Defending Champions, so if France win again, I can console myself in the slightly dubious fact that if it hadn’t been for meeting them in the QF, our team would be bringing the Cup home.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

I’m half German half Irish

I hope it’s the German half that turns up when you play footie…

 

[nicko31]

Really not bothered at all

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Morocco, because I'm British and we love an underdog.

That said, I really couldn't give a toss.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Team Maroc

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I’m more emotionally invested in the third place playoff match. Should be an absolute cracker, especially if it goes to extra time and then pens.

 

[Brovion]

Morocco obviously, the underdogs. I could have been swayed towards Argentina because of Mac Allister, but the way they taunted the Dutch after the penalty shoot-out was very poor form. I wish nothing but ill on the gloating little scrotes now. Love to see someone rub their noses in it.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Morocco all the way.

no big time Charlie’s , no hurling themselves to the floor, just honest football.

and I can’t stand all the commentators wanking themselves silly over messi! It’s vomit inducing

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

You are assuming we all wanted England to win the World Cup.

I wanted France from the beginning, partly from being a Francophile, and partly because everybody assumed Brazil or Argentina.

But for the MacAllister wouldn’t object to an Argentina win. Would be happy to see an Africa win. And I’ve always thought Modric was a great player, even back to when he was at Spurs - not a Prima Donna!

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Despite the Brighton connection I can't support Argentina in any way. France should get through to the final and lift the Cup as they are the most gifted team left of the four, but if Argentina don't match up skills wise in a game we all know what is going to happen. Expect the cynical and dirty side that they often revert to when they are up against it.

For all his virtues Messi is not averse to putting the boot in or faking a foul when needed. there is a rich vein of spite that runs through Argentine football and I expect them to be shameless in their pursuit of glory.

This with bells on. Plus the falklands

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Couldn’t give s toss now. As soon as England are out i stop watching. Plus its a farce of a world cup anyway.

 

[Eeyore]

Morocco, of course.

4-3 against Argentina in the final. Mac treble.

 

[keaton]

Never thought I’d say Argentine but having a Brighton player say he’s won the World Cup would be amazing. Throw in the Messi factor and it’s a no brainier

This. But as I'm missing the Arsenal game the chance of being able to see a world cup winner play for the Albion may have gone by the Liverpool game

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Morocco. Always back the underdog.

Normally this would be the rule however this plays into the hands of FIFAs decision to host it in Qatar.

 

[Justice]

I wanted France from the beginning, partly from being a Francophile, and partly because everybody assumed Brazil or Argentina.

But for the MacAllister wouldn’t object to an Argentina win. Would be happy to see an Africa win. And I’ve always thought Modric was a great player, even back to when he was at Spurs - not a Prima Donna!

The thing it about Modric is his performance levels, hard to think of another player that game after game is consistently class. No excuses like I’ve been hearing all day about England players not turning up. If you can’t turn up in a World Cup quarter then when are you going to turn up.

 

[dangull]

If Morocco win it will be a victory for dull defensive football. Croatia for me due to knocking out dancing Brazil and having a population of only 4 million people.

 

[METALMICKY]

Morocco all day long as the under dog. If it ends up Argentina v France I will on this occasion be cheering on the Argies simply because of Macca

 

[jonny.rainbow]

This with bells on. Plus the falklands

I can’t get behind France because of Agincourt.
