Going for the USA: athleticism, the heat, an aging Czech team, Keller

Going for the Czechs: experience, individual brilliance, cech

Eric Wynalda's claim that this is the best American team "ever" drives me nuts. We have exactly 0 wins so far in this World Cup!

I support the sport rather than any team so I'm not indicative of the wider population.

However if you're not like me, the English root against all of the old colonies, along with Germany and France. And the Scots root against the English, unless they have a similar outlook to mine.

The USA could copy the Australians and decide the match in the last few minutes

that doesn't mean it isnt, the quality of the team is clearly better than any other. They just haven't performed, and I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't considering they haven't been given this tough a group since 90, when, quite frankly, we weren't a World Cup side.

Don't know if my heart could cope with that all over again

Scots posts in the footiemanager.com boards are a little bitter shall we say
