    England, by a country mile. And yet ... strangely not.

    Nat'l Team:
    United States
    1. El Salvador (they're Central American, so by definition are very dirty)
    2. England (I've come to realize they're arrogant)
    3. Greece (apparently a lot of people are mad they won the Euro, not necessarily unpopular in my eyes)
    4. any team that encourages their players to dive

    however, if you're at a USA match in the USA, the most unpopular national team is the USA cause usually there are more opposing fans than for.

    ESTO VA PARA ELCOMBO:
    me enkantan las sudamerikanas especialmente colombianas y venezolanas, pero me gustan mucho mas las ITALIANAS....

    and about Portugal i just said that i dont like the team, i like the country and the portuguese people though.

    and about spain....its the funniest national team. we think we are the best (actually we got great players) but we really suck, and the media its the main reason we are a ************ team. they wont ever support any national coach. in germany 2006, if we go through the group stage, we will probably make it to the quarter finals and then lose (the only thing spain is good at)

    and yeah, im a spaniard.

    Just a quick question. Aren't the 5 most UNPOPULAR teams also the same as the 5 most POPULAR?

    In Germany:

    1. Argentina (HoG and other nonsense)

    2. ?

    We love Holland really, although you can't help feeling sorry for their underachievements (sorry I sadly missed 1988). It's looking up now though, they seem to be copying Germany nowadays, which seems to work (meer of minder).

    England is another favourite opponent, zey are verry funny to vatch in penalty shootouts (Go Souzgait!).

    Club:
    AS Roma
    Nat'l Team:
    Italy
    1. Mexico (because their opinoin of themselves is much larger than their ability)
    2. USA (ultimate soccer posers)
    3. France (because they're French)
    4. Argentina (because Italy got stuck with Camoranesi)
    5. Denmark (too many news cameras on the sidelines)

    I can't help but laugh at people using that eternal 'Holland underachieve' cliché. Holland currently ranks second, just behind Germany, in Uefa's all-time European championships rankings, for example. So when you say that Holland underachieve, that says more about your inflated expectations of the Dutch national football team than about the actual team. It means that you expect far more of Holland than you do of, say, England and Spain, who over the past two decades have performed worse than tiny Holland in international tournaments.

    Holland copying Germany? That cracks me up even more. German football, while incredibly successful, has no clear identity other than being a hard-working team that wins because of team effort. Holland not only has a clear identity, known worldwide for total football and for always producing outstanding individual talent, it even included the objective of maintaining that identity in Van Basten's contract ('Holland under your guidance is to play attacking, dominant football'). Don't fool yourself. Unlike Germany, Holland takes enough pride in its football. Win or lose, we'll always play according to the same philosophy: doesn't matter how many goals you concede as long as you score more.

    I think the US team is hated partly because soccer is something the world is used to holding over us, lording their superiority. Most countries would love to have the U.S. stay sucky at soccer.
    It's some weird kind of consolation, I guess, for them if most countries can beat us at soccer. As we get better, we still become the team no one wants to lose against.
    That's a specific spin on the hated question - which team would you most hate to lose against?

    Mexico
    Korea (Stop the whining!)
    England

    I guess I don't have a lot of hate - I don't even really despise the teams I just mentioned. I'd just rather crawl through sulpheric acid than lose to any of them. Luckily, we haven't lately.
