Assuming you're English and supporting England (if not, what's your first and second team?)...

...Do you have a second team at these finals, and if so, why that team?

Nigeria for me - family ties.

Always loved Brazil as a kid , not so much now, they're not what they used to be .

As long as the Argies or Germans don't win I'll be happy.

Mainly the Argies though , just can't stand them.

I will be cheering for whoever I bet on.

And no clue who that will be. Possibly Spain, but their lack of strikeforce worries me.

Bosnia. Went there on holiday and purchased the shirt as a souvenir. As good a reason as any I guess.

France - have always enjoyed watching them, and have a lot of friends in the country.

Liking that.

I have my eye on them as it looks like their games could be quite exciting to watch. Their first World Cup Finals too so I wish them well (so long as it's not at Nigeria's expense). You might like to read this?:

France too - family ties. Except I don't like the idea of them having more WC wins than us.

I quite like Switzerland (saw them play in 2006) and Mexico's massive travelling support always deserve a lot better than their shit team gives them.

The US, due to proximity and having a couple of Seattle players in the squad. Doubt they'll get out of the group though.

Strangely its Australia. I generally like to see them get stuffed in all sports - particularly cricket and rugby.

Belgium - They ARE going to win the Euro's in a couple of years time, and I fancy them doing quite well this year too.

Iran - I used to live there and they do great cinema.

I went to the match in France 98 where Iran knocked the USA out of the world cup - would love to see a similar upset

Never thought I would, but USA for me.. might as well take part, living out here.

Soft spot for Netherlands, Algeria and Iran.
