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!

The WC is the only sports event I try to be aware of.
And my teams are totally random. US, Mexico, Argentine, and Japan. Though, I like to watch and decide I like a totally different team. hehe

Did you get to pick those yourself or were those 'assigned' to you? Our pool was us going through and saying the exact order we thought each team would end up in the first round all the way through to who would win the final. yikes. it was hard. :D

Good luck with yours. (we have US and Argentine going on, but not Mexico or Japan - so I'm only half with you. *g*)
