Portugal! I want to see us send Ronaldo home and advance to the round of 16 with a bang!

I'd love to see Croatia and Mexico do well and challenge Brazil/Germany for the title as well.

[Adesor Vafaseya]

To advance:
Argentina. Brazil (but not far), Germany (but not winning the WC)

To fail:
everyone else (except Iran) lol


so reading into my Adesorian post, you may realize I tend to a favor a German Argentina final, with Argentina winning it.

[Arshia42]

Usually I would want Spain out but it would make us look good if they win the whole thing.

Germany can get eliminated hopefully, sick and tired of them in the semis at minimum in every bloody tournament.

Team I want to do well: Mexico. I love the way they played, I love their country, food, people etc.. and they've been through a lot of heartbreak in world cups. I think they deserve a world cup to remember.

Win: Brazil, Germany, Belgium, of course Iran

Out: Mexico (I love giving my friends a hard time), Portugal (because they are in our way), Spain (because of the sh*t talking) and Argentina (bad memories from wc14)

Portugal. For two reasons:
1) Round of 16
2) A matter of national concern...Ali Daei's record is in danger. CR7 is on fire right now...he needs to be stopped.

If 100% of the respondents don’t say Saudi Arabia that’s how you’ll instantly know they’re not Iranian.

This oddly sounds more racist than if anyone in this thread did actually say saudi arabia.... Are you sure YOU are Iranian?

[Mr.Click]

For me, Germany and Brazil.

For me reverse.
Brazil out, Germany to win ☺

You know this is a bit off topic to the thread but i find it hilarious since you mentioned Brazil I had to bring it up.
My Dad isn't the best at remembering foreign names so when he mentions them he puts an Iranian twist into it.
I watch most of Barca matches and occasionally we watch them together - Off the top of my head some of the 'translations' he says:

Neymar = Nima
Busquets = Biscooit
Suarez = Dandooni
Iniesta = Anastasia "Anastasia bazikoneh khoobiyeh" - Always laugh when he says that.
Pique = Piq (Penish in Danish)
Guardiola = Gabriola
Umtiti = Um chi chi "Oon siyaheh khoob ba bazikonah michasbe"

And of course "Marcelooo Boro jelooo"

And the most strange one.. " point at Portugal games or el clasico when the camera zoom in on C.Ronaldo
I ask him "Baba een kiyeh?" He says "Oh in ke Maradonae" No joke i once spat my tea out when he said that.

Bless him, pretty sure he suffers from Sleep apnea.

Sorry for derailing the thread btw
I´d like Portugal to get eliminated cause of their fans and because although i respect Ronaldo he seems a bit of a drama-queen which i don't like (and he dives allot.)

Eliminate Russia in the round of 16 be a dream for me. Nothing makes me happier than seeing Russians sad.
