Germany lost their quarterfinals in 94 and 98. And I watched it with compatriots who loved to see these overpaid idiots loose
This might be a rationalistic standpoint, but the football world cup is much more. Two of the 3 books I still have from my childhood are about history of football worldcup.
My favourite teams are (in that order):
Germany, Senegal, China, Cameroon, Paraguay, Spain, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Tunesia, Portugal, Turkey, Uruguay, Slovenia, South Corea, Poland, Argentina, Mexico, Brasil, USA, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Belgium, Japon, Italy, South Africa, England, Ireland, Sweden, Russia, Denmark, Croatia.
What are your favourite teams?
