I'm glad that I'm not the only one here that's into futbol. It even looks like I'm not the only United States of American soccer fan!
My two foreign sojourn teams, Uruguay and Ecuador, are out. My home country is out too. So, I'm going to pull for the int'l team that has the most players from my club team, Arsenal [of London]- that's Germany (Per Mertesaker, Lukas Podolski, and Mesut Ozil). That said, France has two current Gunners (Olivier Giroud and Laurent Kocielny) and Belgium has one (Thomas Vermaelen). I've always been a fan of the way Brazil plays, so I wouldn't be upset to see them win it all, and Messi is just brilliant to watch, so the same holds true for Argentina. It's a veritable feast of football.
