I guess every country except of the USA itself is really hyped about the World cup? How is this in the States where soccer is not important!?
I'm from the Netherlands and I guess Fifa World Cup is the biggest event there is in sports for us. With the olympics but I think the youngsters love the FIFA WC way more.
I don't have high hopes for my country, The Netherlands. I'm happy if we get through the group but then we face Brazil I guess and it's most likely over. After the final in 2010 our team went through a disaster at the EC 2012 and our good generation is gone now. Gonna be a tough one with Chili to fight for the second spot in our group.
@Adelaide Celt, unfortunately I have to agree that Australia is sending their weakest team in years but you have an amazing record against NL, somehow we never win against the aussies who are always physical in an advantage.
My top 3 countries are the usual ones, Brazil, Spain and Germany. Look for Uruguay to impress and for Japan to play great football in their relatively easy group.
Teams to dislike: We in NL generally dislike Portugal and Germany (rivals).
