Iran is not in a good situation, with Queiroz coming back only a month ago and not having enough friendly matches or even training sessions. I don’t have any hope for qualification honestly.
This entire world cup just doesn’t sit right with me to be honest. Between the slave labour and inevitable persecution of fans, I’ll probably end up boycotting it entirely
My country is not in the list (as we are too much into Cricket ).
I am always a big fan of German football team.
Those were the days - Schweinsteiger (the Sniper - long ranger shooter), Podolski (the Cheetah - dribbler), Lahm (the pointman - leader), Klose (tacktical shooter). And tribute to Ballack, Kahn, Lehmann and so many exceptional footballers.
I will be cheering mostly for Germany and countries around Germany.
Frankly, I could give a fuck about all sports, but my wife loves tuning in for the World Cup, and you know what that means, right? Yeah, yeah, I love it too.
Yeah, I’m just so sick of America’s obsession with sports that it just killed all of it for me. Nothing would please me more than the outcry if American football were to be outlawed.
International football (soccer) is at least a more dignified and sensible sport, and having grown up in Mexico my wife loves to cheer her team on, or enjoy anyone beating Brazil’s ass, so I tolerate it during these times for her sake.
