To my shame I forgot the Danish were at the World Cup I will be supporting Denmark as well as England. 

After the Costa Rica shambles my enjoyment of tournament relies on England

I was so happy Argentina lost! I hate Argentina I celebrate they lose like Costa Rica win world cup. 

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.

He at least played for the team unlike Neymar who plays for himself but no one but Argies like Argentina

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  :)

Oh man, Nigeria beat us (Iceland).  Bummer!  

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!

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.
