I'd like to see Englad do well since I generally follow the EPL, but honestly I'm a Newcastle fan and with Owen being out, I'm watching mainly just to see good football.

I was supporting<br/>the US as they were the North American represtatives at the W.C. as Canada didn't make it to Germany. I follow MLS soccer and the EPL. I was disappointed with the 1st US game against the Czech Rep. Happier with their scrap against Italy, and disappointed again with their game against Ghana. The Aussie's were a huge surprise and I enjoyed their performances tremendously. I'm originally from England and I'll follow them to victory or their demise. Other than England I'd prefer a country that hasn't won before to win. That leaves Ukraine and Portugal. I am a Canadian. I was supporting

Looking for good contributions from Fabregas. More than anything, after suffering through the two games today, I would like to see some attacking football. Maybe France and Spain will deliver.

Looking forward to the Germany/Argentina game, and the Brazil (I think they will easily beat Ghana) against Spain/France winner. I'm rooting for England and Germany to meet in the final, but just watching because I have become a fan of soccer over the past couple years. Basically just watching for the great matchups.

I watch the Prem as often as possible on TV, but I really will not be as upset at an English exit as the American one, even as I had been expecting it since the moment the groups were drawn. Mostly I just want now to watch some top-class exciting football. I am now rooting for England for exactly that reason.

I have since been a fan of Bergkamp, Davids, et al. And I'm learning about their new crop. I'm also watching to see how far England can make it with such mediocre play. And I'm watching to see if Messi is as amazing as people say.<br/><br/>There are many great matches still to come. But I'm already a football fan (and as annoyed as you by Dave O'Brien).<br/>b Well, I was cheering and still watching for the Dutch for no other reason than my main exposure to European football came from ESPN broadcasts of the Dutch league (what was that, 10 or 12 years back?).
