<p>Identify yourself as being the following:</p>

<p>1) France Supporter</p>

<p>2) Italy Supporter</p>

<p>3) What the hell is the world cup?</p>

2

<ol>
<li> I see France being a favorite and I will be watching with all French supporters, but I do want to see Italy win. Either way they would just be bandwagon teams for me so gl to them both!</li>
</ol>

3

<p>Italy! Only because I'm betting my friend. What about Germany vs. Portugal? Portugal for me...because of betting again. -___-</p>

4

<p>Germany! (They have Klose, Lehman ...) But Portugal has Deco, Luis, Ronaldo (Christiano)...I don't know about that match</p>

5

<p>Since those cheating, cry-baby "ow I got brushed by the opposing player, give me a penalty kick" Italians "beat" my beloved Deutschland, my support is 100% behind France. C'mon Zidane, 2 more to the back of the net to bring the world cup back to France. Viva Le France! Oh and I'm behind Germany 100% for the 3rd place game, but no one in Germany will really care about that game.</p>

<p>o cool world cup facts: more than 30 billion people have watched this world cup (record) </p>

<p>More people in China watched the game of England vs. Portugal than the population of both countries combined.</p>

<p>SOCCCCERRRRR!!!!
FUTTTTBOLLLLL!!!</p>

<p>Thats because china has so many people that if their majority watches any game it would be hard for countries (esp smaller ones) to keep up</p>

9

<p>I'm a Portugal fan so I'm rooting for Italy against France and Portugal obviously against Germany. Does any one else agree that winning by solely a PK is a bad way to win?</p>

10

<p>as a soccer goalie... yes i agree... and i'm going for france... although i did want england...</p>

11

<p>"more than 30 billion people have watched this world cup (record)"</p>

<p>30 billion? I didn't know there were so many people on this Earth.</p>

12

<p>france! i really hope zizou takes it in his last try ever..</p>

<p>Wow for some reason I saved the article. Looks like it'll come in handy lol </p>

<p>I believe it should be 3 billion viewers, not 30 billion. According to US Census Bureau's estimate, the Earth's population has reached 6.5 billion only recently.</p>

<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

15

<p>perhaps they're adding up the number of people who watched each game... so if 4 billion people watch one game and 5 billion watch the next (impossibly- high numbers i know), then it would be a total of 9 billion viewers- despite the 6.5 billion population, savvy?</p>

<p>lol ya ya</p>

<p>I want France to win, just so that I can say the Korean team drew with the team that went on to win the whole thing.</p>

<p>Also I want France to win because in my opinion watching the Italian team play is boring. I believe they are the only team in the world that uses a 8-1-1 tactic (yeah I know they claim to use 4-4-2 or whatever but in practice it becomes 8-1-1). There is only one other team that can make a game of football even more dead and that's Switzerland. Anyone who watched the Ukraine-Switzerland Round 2 game will know what I'm talking about.</p>

18

<p>I love how people who know absolutely jack about formations or soccer tactics criticize the validity or the playability of a certain tactical formation. </p>

<p>I am going for France because Henry is my favorite player.</p>

19

<p>I want France to win but I think Italy will be the winner tomorrow.</p>

20

<p>France for the finals! (despite them having a 35yr old idiot for a goalie)
portugal for 3rd place!</p>
