Second most hated team? Second most favoured team?

― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 16:32 (fifteen years ago)

Never heard the expression "my second team is..."? Oh wait of course you have, you're just being difficult.

― Mark Ronson: "Led Zeppelin were responsible for hip-hop" (acoleuthic), Thursday, 10 June 2010 16:33 (fifteen years ago)

Oh right, I see, confusing because you said Germany are my second team on the Most Hated Thread, so I thought you meant 2nd most hated

― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 16:35 (fifteen years ago)

Plus have we had a Who DO You Want to Win the WC poll?

― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 16:36 (fifteen years ago)

Mexico and Honduras, CONCACAF luv

― dan m, Thursday, 10 June 2010 16:36 (fifteen years ago)

It was in response to someone who said 'why no hate for Germany' and I was answering that question from my own perspective

anyway, second teams only plz

― Mark Ronson: "Led Zeppelin were responsible for hip-hop" (acoleuthic), Thursday, 10 June 2010 16:37 (fifteen years ago)

France, obv

not yet totally sure what my first team is this year but will obviously watch every nigeria game for lols

― sonderangerbot, Thursday, 10 June 2010 16:46 (fifteen years ago)

Good work lj. A second team needs maximum potential for fun plus edge-of-the-seat thrills, so on that basis I'm voting Argentina. Shame on anyone who picks Brazil here.

― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 10 June 2010 16:56 (fifteen years ago)

Shame on anyone who picks Brazil here.

"He'd been found guilty of wearing a Brazilian shirt with a number 10 on the back and swigging from a bottle of lager whilst talking of 'the beautiful game'"

― Mark Ronson: "Led Zeppelin were responsible for hip-hop" (acoleuthic), Thursday, 10 June 2010 16:58 (fifteen years ago)

Haven't got a first team, only second teams, will choose when the tournament starts

― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 17:00 (fifteen years ago)

Thought we might save the 'who DO you want to win' poll for when we get down to the last 16, so there's no letting Lib Dem voting types off lightly.

― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 10 June 2010 17:02 (fifteen years ago)

YOU voted Switzerland, YOU pay the price

― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 10 June 2010 17:04 (fifteen years ago)

Soft spot for Holland, always entertaing on and off the field

― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 17:06 (fifteen years ago)

Weird not to have Sweden in a World Cup

― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 17:07 (fifteen years ago)

I have three: Netherlands (because I am kind of sort of Dutch), Mexico (because I'm from LA) and South Korea (because I'm from LA). I figured South Korea needed the love here more than the Mexicans or Dutch.

― C-L, Thursday, 10 June 2010 17:12 (fifteen years ago)

This one is easy: our fine neighbors to the south and recent vacation destination, Mexico.

― Chicago to Philadelphia: "Suck It" (Bill Magill), Thursday, 10 June 2010 17:28 (fifteen years ago)

italy for me. absolutely no justified reason why tbh.

― Don't look at the finger (Ste), Thursday, 10 June 2010 18:36 (fifteen years ago)

Always have a soft spot for Italy but am rooting for Serbia and my boy Nenad Milijas so I'm torn.

― If it's not hurting, you're not lurking (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 10 June 2010 21:43 (fifteen years ago)

i have to hope the hosts do well, they get my vote.

also some love for concacaf, i hope mex and honduras make it out of their groups

― 156, Thursday, 10 June 2010 21:46 (fifteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Thursday, 10 June 2010 23:01 (fifteen years ago)

This year I think it'll be Argentina. Australia's looking grim, need a strong second to see me through :(

― VegemiteGrrrl, Friday, 11 June 2010 03:10 (fifteen years ago)

ur a gay

― name (a hoy hoy), Friday, 11 June 2010 11:26 (fifteen years ago)

speaking through my pocket: spain.

― taojjbtcrf (or something), Friday, 11 June 2010 11:32 (fifteen years ago)

I usually like Holland a lot but I'm not sure I can really root for a team with Van Rapist in it, so going for Argentina. I would be quite happy to see Brazil or Spain win as well.

Twee pick = Honduras. <3 Palacios.

― Vulvuzela (Matt DC), Friday, 11 June 2010 12:37 (fifteen years ago)

Spain

― mdskltr (blueski), Friday, 11 June 2010 12:39 (fifteen years ago)

Often swayed by the ethnic make-up of whatever part of London I'm staying, so last time round was happy to support Turkey... this time round it has to be Algeria!

― I am utterly and abjectly pissed off with this little lot (Tom D.), Friday, 11 June 2010 12:39 (fifteen years ago)

USA, if only for the chance to sing the Edu song.

― calumerio, Friday, 11 June 2010 13:17 (fifteen years ago)

What part of London is Algerian?!

― Ismael Klata, Friday, 11 June 2010 13:21 (fifteen years ago)

north end of Blackstock Rd has a few

― mdskltr (blueski), Friday, 11 June 2010 13:22 (fifteen years ago)

Holland. With past masters (such as Bergkamp) its a travesty they haven't won WC.

― xyzzzz__, Friday, 11 June 2010 13:24 (fifteen years ago)

north end of Blackstock Rd has a few

After the massive police raid the other year, a lot seemed to have moved down nearer Holloway Road

― I am utterly and abjectly pissed off with this little lot (Tom D.), Friday, 11 June 2010 13:27 (fifteen years ago)

I'm glad everybody here got Brazil as first team!

― Shin Oliva Suzuki, Friday, 11 June 2010 13:29 (fifteen years ago)

brazil

italy 1st

― flamelurker (cozen), Friday, 11 June 2010 13:34 (fifteen years ago)

Gonna be twee and pick Cote d'ivoire, but i'm in a French speaking city and I think they'll have a few supporters around.

― sofatruck, Friday, 11 June 2010 13:43 (fifteen years ago)

Why is it Cote d'ivoire and not Ivory Coast?

― I am utterly and abjectly pissed off with this little lot (Tom D.), Friday, 11 June 2010 13:47 (fifteen years ago)

... in this poll I mean?

― I am utterly and abjectly pissed off with this little lot (Tom D.), Friday, 11 June 2010 13:47 (fifteen years ago)

coz I c&p'd the list from Poll #2, ask Klata

― Mark Ronson: "Led Zeppelin were responsible for hip-hop" (acoleuthic), Friday, 11 June 2010 13:48 (fifteen years ago)

it's Cote d'Ivoire in most English-language content now

― mdskltr (blueski), Friday, 11 June 2010 13:49 (fifteen years ago)

see also Korea Republic instead of South Korea

― mdskltr (blueski), Friday, 11 June 2010 13:49 (fifteen years ago)

But not the Democratic People's Republic of Korea!

― I am utterly and abjectly pissed off with this little lot (Tom D.), Friday, 11 June 2010 13:50 (fifteen years ago)

too clunky

― mdskltr (blueski), Friday, 11 June 2010 13:51 (fifteen years ago)

Yeah, I haven't heard it called Ivory Coast in years. Should've gone with Ingerlund too.

― Ismael Klata, Friday, 11 June 2010 13:53 (fifteen years ago)

Have hardly ever heard it called Cote D'Ivoire!

― I am utterly and abjectly pissed off with this little lot (Tom D.), Friday, 11 June 2010 13:57 (fifteen years ago)

My loathing of Domenech is such that England will be my second team though I'm kind of hoping for Spain to win it 'cause I can never root for Brazil and Maradona is a fool. I always have an African team and this year, I'm hoping Ghana fare well.

― If the US had a dictator we'd call him coach (Michael White), Friday, 11 June 2010 13:58 (fifteen years ago)

Cote d'Ivoire is the official name as recognised by FIFA

― mdskltr (blueski), Friday, 11 June 2010 14:00 (fifteen years ago)

prob because french is an official language of fifa?

― joe, Friday, 11 June 2010 14:01 (fifteen years ago)

Missing a circonflex/caret there.

x-post

― If the US had a dictator we'd call him coach (Michael White), Friday, 11 June 2010 14:02 (fifteen years ago)

Haha xxp. Anyway, time for Orange Free State vs New Spain.

― Ismael Klata, Friday, 11 June 2010 14:02 (fifteen years ago)

cross one off brazil and add one to uruguay pls

― flamelurker (cozen), Friday, 11 June 2010 18:30 (fifteen years ago)

How does the Edu song go?

― dan m, Friday, 11 June 2010 18:34 (fifteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
