Who are you wanting to win the World Cup? - HibeesBounce.com

**wee 162** · 31-03-06, 14:33

CadgeMac · 31-03-06, 14:39

**Bill Oddies Beard** · 31-03-06, 14:50

Would love to see anexciting, attacking team win it.
But since Hibs canny enter, i voted for anyone except
'them'.
Sometimes wonder about polls, who the feck do they ask?
I've never been asked, and don't know anyone who has

.

Sky Sports News has already mapped out Englands route to the final and according to some people doun south England just have to turn up to lift the trophy.

I mean why are teams like Brazil, Argentina, France, Italy and Spain bothering to turn up when England have won it already?

I normally support the underdogs.....but I can't bring myself to cheer for England so I'd like perennial under achievers Spain to crack it for once alternatively France (but I think the Krauts will win it).

I hope they never win it. Hardly anybody over there cares or is even aware the world cup is on, it would be a massive waste. I remember being over there when the 94 world cup was on and none of my family even knew it was happening, i had to persuade them to change channel from the baseball so i could watch THE WORLD CUP FINAL WHICH WAS HAPPENING IN AMERICA

That's not really true. It's massive amongst the Latin community, and its become much more popular generally in the dozen years since they hosted it.

Also I think it's fair to say that in some ways it's less of a waste if a less traditional footballing nation wins it. Brazil are still going to be fanatical about the game whether they win it or not this year, but if Oz or the US managed it a whole load of new people would get into it.

If the did win it then it might get all the yanks into 'Soccer'. Never know. Ive took a couple of Yanks to hibs games and they loved every minute of it.
They really dont understand how passionate we are when it comes to football tho!

Young_hibee · 31-03-06, 19:48

A want Brazil to win it but a think holland might be in with a good chance.

sauzee-god04 · 31-03-06, 19:59

Aye but a lot of them will be supporting MEXICO

True, it has become one of the most popular participator sports, albeit generally among folk who, while perhaps showing an interest in the national team, will not be greatly effected emotionally by its fortunes. A bit like how folk who play field hockey here treat the national field hockey team. This is in contrast to the vast majority of the other countries in the world cup, where the bulk of the population will be passionately following the national team. If the US won the world cup, there would be no massive spontaneous street parties, nor a lingering sense of national well-being. In every other country i believe this would be the case.

**Daddy'O'Hibee** · 31-03-06, 20:37

The same teams always win it, wouldn't it be nice for a dark horse to win it.

Im going to jinx Argentina, them or Germany.

National well-being? I can do without that to be honest. Most of the twats who get all foamy at the thought of england winning the world cup are the kind who i actively like to be unhappy. Not nice, but there it is.

As for other countries though, I see your point. Not sure I really care that much about their feelgood factor either though. But I suppose it could work. And on that basis I should choose the poorest, most unhappy country and root for them. The poorest is Togo (GDP/cap a measly 1600 bucks), the saddest I'm not so sure of. So I'll go for Togo - who also used to be a german colony, so it'd have a nice irony to it as well.

**Forzahibs** · 31-03-06, 21:01

Honestly couldn't care less so long as the winners play good football and don't resort to any kind of cheating
