The World Cup 2006 starts in just ten days! I know most footballers are spoiled peacocks, but playing for your country is a bit more inspiring than playing for your accountant, so I always enjoy following international competition. I've decided to support England this year. It's Sven's swansong, David Beckham's hair is weirder than ever, how could I resist.
Just in case England crash out early on, I need a backup team to follow - hopefully - to the finals. It all depends on how the tournament goes, but I am considereding Sweden, Spain and the Netherlands as alternatives, but I favour Italy because they have the best outfits!

I inevitably go with Brasil, but my backup is Senegal.
Which, now that I think about it, should probably be the other way 'round.
England!!! Go go go!!!
One of the few advantages left to being an American (since Georgie & his evil cronies have drained us of most of the pride we once had in our nationality) is that we can get excited about the World Cup, or we can be completely oblivious of it. Most other nationalities don't have the second option.
So which is it for you then, Pa?
Where is anybody's loyalty, let I remind everybody that at the last World Cup the American team were knocked out in the same round as the English!!! Also Genevieve if your are looking for a backup team, once again where is your loyalty, according to reports the Saudis have a superior squad. Go Saudi Arabia!!
I'm pulling for the more beautiful of the teams. Haven't decided who that honor goes to yet, but Beckham makes a strong case for the Brits.
But Ireland has a Duff on the team. He's not that attractive, but c'mon, Duff?
Well, the Yanks didn't make it into the second tier, but they did tie Italy!
