I'm backing England still, even though they're doing poorly but I've been backing them for a long while. When they get kicked out I'll see what's left.
Backing England or actually supporting them? There is a difference.

What's the difference? I'd assume them to be the same.

Backing in the colloquial sense is supporting.

I`m backing Brazil or Argentina to win, but I support England and before the WC started, suggested they were good enough for the Quarters.

After seeing Portugal, I wonder if it wouldn't be better for Spain to qualify in second place. If Portugal wins Brazil (which is possible) and Spain gets finally the first place in group H, then we would face Brazil in the next round. And our problems with Brazil wouldn't be purely "footballistic". The SWISS MAFIA (whose godfather is J. Blatter) won't tolerate a Brazil's elimination so early. Too much money is at stake.

Edit: We already know how referees "work" under Blatter's "reign".

You could roll up the big 4 African sides: Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana and Ivory Coast and take the best players out of each, form one team and you`d still get the same ineffective game out of them.

South Africa and Algeria are just not good enough full stop unless of course they`re playing against England!!!
Yeah, the African sides in this tournament have been a real disappointment for me. Nigeria, Algeria and South Africa are just plain poor and the Ivory Coast have probably been the most flat-out boring team to watch in this tournament (shouldn't really surprise me so much, considering Sven's their manager and all). Cameroon played some very good football against Denmark, but it was really too little too late. Ghana are full of energy but no killer touch, and I can't really see them stopping Germany from progressing. It'd be so awesome if they do though.

The way your group's gone, there may very well be just the one goal between who gets 1st and 2nd spot, never mind who gets knocked out. Best of luck next week - Spain play some really neat football, so it'd be a shame to see them go home early. Hopefully it won't come to that.

If I ever see another Benfica jersey in my life it will be too soon. Played two years in high school then left for cross country because I just couldn't take it anymore.
You lovely person.
