    With Italy and USA both failing to qualify I'm curious who most of you will be rooting for. At this point I'm thinking be I'll be watching Arg since they will likely have the most Serie A players.

    Which of the 32 do you want to see win it?

    Yes, me too.

    They are a fun team to watch and have a ton of heart. However, won't make any extra efforts to watch their games; if I happen to catch one of their games on TV, I'll watch, otherwise, it's like there's no 2018 tournament for me.

    I hope they cancel the tournament at the last min.....Due to constant political upheaval and proxy wars for one and a half years....Then too late to reschedule with no one else taking last minute....Too much time passes....then

    On to Euro 2020 folks !

    I'll be rooting most against Brazil and Germany, the two countries with 5 and 4 titles respectively. Then, I'll root against Uruguay and Argentina, with 2 each, and then I'll root against England, Spain, and France, who each have one. I figure I'll be plenty busy rooting against teams. I'm actually looking more forward to the rumored "anti-World Cup" tournament in the USA before the World Cup, featuring Italy, USA, Netherlands, Chile, Ghana, maybe Ivory Coast, etc. That would be pretty cool to see Italy make a pre-summer trip and play 2-3 games in the USA.

    I will be rooting for Argentina to win because I feel like Messi needs 1 to rid him from getting compared to CR7. I admire the way mexico plays so I will root for them. I would not be totally opposed Spain or a team like Croatia winning it. Heck seeing an African nation win would be cool too. I will watch, but I won't be invested in it. I do not want to see Germany, France, Portugal, Uruguay, Brazil, England or any central american teams win it.

    Actually, the more I watch this French team the better I like it. Maybe France or some underdog that makes a run.

    ummm shouldn't you be more worried about the teams that actually qualified at this point ? or are you just being a troll? My guess is on the latter....

    also UEFA unprecedentedly has taken the last 3 WCs ( 2006 , 2010 , 2014 )....if the roulette table has been hitting black at some point it has to hit red right? ;)

    And keep trolling , please , karma and the football gods just may remember and hold it against you :)

    You should at least wait until it's in the bag before rubbing salt in others' wounds.....Football gods thing again here ;)

    If I have the heart to watch..

    Costa Rica, Japan, Australia, Belgium, Croatia, Russia, Colombia etc.

    Basically any nation who plays with style and/or whose football could do with a boost.

    Let's hope all the big nations bomb so it'll take away some of the embarrassment of not even being there and help to keep Italy's records from being surpassed.
