Neutral's choice: who are rest of the world supporting at the World Cup?

The Dutch fan's hatred of Iceland seemed very strong. Did they do something bad beyond qualifying ahead of Holland for Euro 2016?

Truthfully I spend my international tournaments passively rooting for England and not really caring when they get knocked out because I don’t expect them to win ever and then I just pray the teams that play ugly that I don’t like don’t win but given the absence of Italy and the Netherlands, I’m only really left with Portugal, who left a bad taste in my mouth playing the worlds most boring football at the last Euros, and I don’t expect them to win this time either. I’n sure I’ll find more teams to hate on though

England squad numbers announced.

We're gonna win the World Cup!

Forget CR7, JL7 to shine!

Who are you cheering for? I’ve always cheered for England, which perhaps isn’t surprising given I’ve supported Manchester United, followed the Premier League and lived in London for many years.

Makes sense.

Well yeah, if he lived in Manchester he'd be a City fan.

I did it out of boredom. Don't know how I ended up with Uruguay in the semis, so I sent them on to the finals for fucks.

This anti-Polish sentiment so prevalent on EWB.

First they came for the Platzels, and I did not speak out. Then they came for the Stronk, and I did not speak out.

I have to say that The Guardian's World Cup coverage has been great. The regular "World Cup Stunning Moments" has been a big highlight, and there's been so much in-depth content.

Plus the latest Squires name checked Norton and Stockton Ancients.

Good article from The Ringer about the USMNT and their failure to qualify.
