I wanted so badly to hate Ronaldo.  But I can’t.  That 88’ goal hurt so bad.

That PK was pure wizardry.

I love Messi!  (Of course.  He's Barca after all).  He didn't work his bum off, though.  It's like he lost his desire for the cup.  Of course, it didn't help that Caballero did such a dumb move.

Filipinos love Argentina.  We loved Mario Kempes, then Diego Maradona, etc. etc.

Iceland!!!  

This is my first time following the World Cup, and their first time qualifying. They're the smallest country  (population wise) to qualify AND I have been to Iceland and loved it. 

My second pic, England because that's where my ancestry is.

Ah they play now and if they win then Argentina are basically out no mathematically but realistically no. I am supporting Iceland today  :)

Being half English I have a natural dislike of Argies, so glad they lost

But they performed well. 

It's amazing how this team came out of Iceland which has a population of just a little over 300 thousand.  If the commentators are to be believed, Argentina has a larger pool of quality soccer players than there are people in Iceland!

Spain is well positioned.  Iran down, Morocco to go.  That should be an easy match.

Sadly it will take a unlikely series of event for Spain no to go through

Iceland can still go through if they win by 3 goal (unlikely) and Nigeria and Argentina draw. My team Costa Rica are already out :( so now I just support England and any team playing a hispanic team

If you assume half are men then 150,000 and then half men are between 16-40 75,00 that is all they had to select from is incredible they make it to world cup.
