For me, its Uruguay or Argentina. Latam hits close to home anyway.
alexsmajor@reddit
Sen, Gha, Arg, Mar
canyoubelieveitt@reddit (OP)
Interesting preferences. Why the first two?
alexsmajor@reddit
They have awesome teams. If they manage to put together a good play also, they can go long 💪🏻
Sea_Gap_6569@reddit
Argentina, Spain as usual
panama, Ivory Coast, south korea for players of my team
Hot_Distribution_131@reddit
Everyone, but not the British!
varzaguy@reddit
I live here so the US. Besides previous Euro, it’s been a long time since I was able to root for Romania :(
No-Jackfruit-2433@reddit
Brazil or Argentina.
Sc0tts_tot@reddit
Hate Argentina. Such an unlikable team
No-Jackfruit-2433@reddit
Maybe your team isnt so good like them!!
Sc0tts_tot@reddit
Only few teams on the planet are better than them. Still, they're a bunch of very unlikable players
No-Jackfruit-2433@reddit
Other country could be Belgium.
Township_Roller@reddit
Agreed. Argentina should fuck off.
MetastAH@reddit
You can’t support both. Make your pick
Kapoutsinos@reddit
Senegal has a descent team when they play a full XI. I support them after the injustice that happened to them in I Copa Africa.

My heart wants Argentina or Spain
My reason tells me France, because it has the best team on paper
O_Nontas_Eimai@reddit
Portugal and Mexico
Cihonidas@reddit
Argentina for Messi

Germany.

Elliot_Kyouma@reddit
Always Uruguay. I love their spirit and love for the game. It's amazing what they have accomplished as a small nation.
Township_Roller@reddit
looks at flag
Can't say your own country
Elliot_Kyouma@reddit
I think their flag was inspired by ours, or the other way around, i'm not sure
canyoubelieveitt@reddit (OP)
Absolutely agree
CataphractBunny@reddit
France. I want them to win so the French burn down the country some more. 😂
ZonzoDue@reddit
If we lose the final, result will be the same anyway.
canyoubelieveitt@reddit (OP)
You'll get the same effect for every round an African team advances.
CataphractBunny@reddit
That is a very brave comment. XD

Tiny-Mulberry-2114@reddit
Any African country except Morocco. Can you imagine what kind of footage we would get if they were to reach the finals.
Township_Roller@reddit
France trembles
Tiny-Mulberry-2114@reddit
Ah yes the group of death but still I have strong faith in Senegal going into knockout stage.
Township_Roller@reddit
I mean, whatever African team goes through, Paris, Marseille and Nice would probably burn
Tiny-Mulberry-2114@reddit
True, I completely forgot about that. Algeria going through will likely have the strongest pyroman effect of all the African teams.

Japan, like I have for the past 20 years.
jozohoops@reddit
Brazil, because Ronaldinho and flair of Brazilians but i think they wont come so far

For a Cinderella story Scotland is the only correct answer. Otherwise good old Spain
Township_Roller@reddit
Scotland play terribly boring football, and have a corrupt league. Bottom of my list. Fans are cool, though.
Township_Roller@reddit
The Netherlands, Germany and DR Congo

Japan.
RustCohle_23@reddit
Samurai all the way. Can't wait for the news where fans clean after themselves as well.
Character-Echidna-98@reddit
I think they had good results and they are bit underrated. That why i have sympathy for them.
RustCohle_23@reddit
They are missing one of their best players tho - Mitoma got injured and was not called up for the WC.
r0yg0esinsan3_@reddit
They still have the boys from Celtic!!

Insane_Wanderer@reddit
Iraq. That’s where my fiancé’s family comes from. They don’t stand a chance in their group, but I will go down with the ship 🫡
itzwhatitizzz@reddit
Are they Chaldeans?
Insane_Wanderer@reddit
Yes they are. That’s why we can get married in the same church with no complications
itzwhatitizzz@reddit
I’m also in Canada and with a Chaldean lady. I’m half Italian half Croatian/Macedonian ethnically. One of the first things she wanted to know when we met was if I was Catholic lol, so I know what you mean. Have a great wedding!
Insane_Wanderer@reddit
Wow, small world and big coincidence! I was assuming this mix was pretty rare. Never would’ve expected to see anything too similar. I’m also half Croatian.
Yeah I get it lol. The religion question didn’t come up right away with us, but later I found out her mother’s main wishes for her future partner were “Good boy, and Catholic” which I fortunately meet lol.
I appreciate your good wishes. Not sure if you’re married, but wishing you a happy lifetime with your lady regardless
