USA out? Now I'm most likely following the Golden Boot. Should be a good race, Games are meaningless now except from a gambling standpoint.

I like Haaland w Norway, and Lukaku w Belgium but one of my best friends is English, so I'll be rooting for them. Because of him, I know more of their story and players. And I like that they sing Oasis after their matches.

I was pulling for Morocco and Egypt. Something poetic about an all-muslim country final on U.S. soil. It would totally get some folks' panties in a bunch.

Argentina. You only get so many chances to watch a goat in real time. Mbappe may beat his goal record someday but he isnt the player Messi is. We are watching Maradona 2.0

Norway because for all of my general physical superiority, I’m still terrified of what Haaland could do to me if he found out I was cheering against him.

Hmm. I haven't decided yet, but I'm considering these:

* Belgium makes great beer
* Switzerland is probably the most beautiful country I've traveled to
* Norway's fans seem to be having the most fun
* I have a buddy from England who will be visiting at the end of the month when Leeds is in Tampa for a friendly

I know this is blasphemy to some of you, but I really wanted Mexico to win another game or two so I could go to the watch parties at my local place
