In my country, Canada that is, we call it soccer.

Oof! I spent 3 hrs last night picking teams for Mr. M's World Cup pool entry.

I suggested we just pick based on the prettiest boys in The Non-Football Fan's Guide to the World Cup (Thank you chantefable for that lovely link)

but he insisted that we trudge through sports sites from various countries and see what everyone had to say about EVERY TEAM and make intelligent guesses with calculated risks. Well, he has been watching Merlin with me, so it's kinda the least I could do. :D

Still, I just know that the person that knows nothing about football and picked based on flag colours will always win. *sigh*

But! YAY!!! Football fever is here!

Good luck! *hands you blinders and earplugs*

I adore football, actually. We generally try to catch every single game during the tournament. Though 3 hrs of looking up who was injured on each team and the likelihood of a European team winning outside of Europe was just... even beyond my love of the sport. :D
