Is this just a superstitious thing, not wanting to tempt fate, or do the Brazilian people know something we don't? Everyone else thinks you guys are odds-on favourites.........

Brasil are my favorites and Ukraine as outsider. Other strong teams : Italy and Argentina. Holland will not do so good for they have a weak defense and midfield.

I guess I'll support the US until they get knocked out, obviously they don't have a chance in hell.  Most Americans don't care about this, but I tune in occasionally and it's enjoyable.

I'm backing two teams, Brazil and the Netherlands, those being the two teams that interest me the most.

Well I don't really have a favourite since Finland are not there.  I'm just hoping to see a lot of great football, exciting matches and awesome goals. And some surprises would be good too!
