Now I Can Root For Brazil
United States: my native home. Out after the first round, no victories, one moral victory tie.
Poland: my wife and in-laws native home. Out after the first round. One "for pride" victory over Costa Rica with big Polish crowd filing over the border.
Spain: Only European country I've visited. Advanced after great first round. Out after second round loss to France.
Mexico: only other country I've visited in World Cup. Loses in second round to Argentina.

Aaaaagh! Now what do I do?
Italy is out because of their dirty play against the U.S.
France knocked off Brazil, the coolest team in the world.
I'm torn between Germany and Portugal.
I'm a German-American, the two highest scorers are Polish-nationals (my in-laws native home) and Franz Beckenbauer (of the late and beloved NY Cosmos) is in charge of the World Cup.
Portugal is the Rodney Dangerfield of Europe--rich history, beautiful country--but no political influence and still terribly poor. Pl;us they speak Portugese--like Brazil (the aforementioned coolest team in the world).
Gotta go with Portugal!
