Re: Anyone else rooting against ALL European team?

If anything is clear its that the Euro teams are woefully overrated. The constant chirping about how those teams rule, other teams not named Brazil suck, blah blah blah clearly isn't remotely close to accurate. The African teams are obviously unlucky to not have a better record, the South American teams are rolling. The international soccer scene is changing. The 2002 WC semifinals had Korea, Brazil, Turkey and a very very lucky German team. Bah. The Euros could've gone 0-4 in terms of claiming semifinal spots. Heck, they only went 2-8 claiming quarterfinal spots, exactly as many as CONCACAF. Say it with me now: "O-ver-Ra-ted (clap) (clap) (clap clap clap).
The refs have been just awful in their support of those teams also, see Portugul and Italy yesterday for examples. Plus, the Euro teams flop more than any other side.
Basically, if there's a European team playing, I'm rooting for the other side, and if it's too Euros, then I choose the lesser of two evils.
Go World!
BTW, is there anything more fun than rooting for the African and East Asian teams? I love those squads.
