The World Cup, IMO, is the oddest tournament when it comes to who people support. Because of club loyalties its hard to not root and cheer for a player from another team. Its not like the Olympics or any other national tourney. I'm American and I will fully support the US team. I think we have a good shot of making it out of the group stage and think we can be a dangerous team. However, I would like to see England go far because of Carra and Gerrard, I would like to see Spain go far because of Nando so its tough.
But, too boo your own national team is not good. You might think John Terry is a f***in pr**k and hate Lampard. But they are representing your nation. To boo them is just in bad taste. I'm sorry. Terry is a dick, fine however he is one the best players in the World and is representing your country.
Personally I hate Landon Donovan. Cant stand him on or off the pitch. But, when he wears the US jersey he is representing my country and I will support him. When you watch the WC your watching the best of the best. Were watching the best football players in the World. Any player who starts a WC match is one the best in the world. Period. When the final whistle blows, in the WC Final and the winners are holding the trophy. You are looking at the best "Team" in the world. Thats what I think of. I am watching greatness. I am watching someone who is the greatest at what he does. Were watching perfection.
