My young niece seems to have gone all in on Brazil for an inexplicable reason, and I fully support irrational sporting fandoms (and my fantastic niece). So I’d support them as long as they’re viable.
Yeah.. I think Brazil is probably the best at this point. They always play in a very fan-friendly style. It's as interesting as the sport gets. BUT, I'm kind of annoyed with them this year for reasons other than beating Mexico. Their main guy, Neymar, is just behaving terribly! Google Neymar memes to see what I mean. He is going to win an Oscar for his acting at the World Cup this year! Even players three feet away have a magical ability to hurt Neymar and he starts rolling on the ground like a baby!! It's the worst acting I've seen in a while... and he's such a great player. No clue what the heck he's doing!
He's just seeking attention. In his mind the more the camera is on him, whatever the reason, the better.
As far as who I'm rooting for...England of course. But, I have to say Mexico was a lot of fun to watch as are the French.

So you don't like South American football? Why? I find them much more interesting than other countries... especially Brazil. BUT I'm not a fan of having Neymar the hero lead the team. They're all good but love to have one hero player that takes all the glory... not sure why they do this.
I do like South American football. I really was hoping Chile would qualify, and I pulled for Peru to advance out of group.
Though they are outstanding players, I just don´t like Messi and Neymar for their dives, and Suarez is a bully and biter. Uruguay in general I hate to watch.
My favorite team is Netherlands, and though I wish they would have made it I am glad I did not have to be disappointed by Robben´s antics this year.
Wouldn´t have watched the Belgium-Brazil match today, but tuned in once I heard Belgium was up two
. Good results today!

Ha ha ha ha yes Robben drove me nuts last World Cup!!! Neymar brought it to a new all-time low, so glad he's out. As much as I usually like Brazil's play style, I just couldn't tolerate watching him in the Mex-Bra game.
