Your favourite national football/soccer team

Germany's still my favourite team although it never recovers since 1998 (98 World Cup's a nightmare to many teams indeed). Perhaps the younger fans don't know, the German use their brain instead of feet to play football (soccer in USA). 54 World Cup was one of the best example -- the coach used the substitute players in 1st round game when playing against the Hungarian (the best in 1954); while the in the final game, the coach called the original players to beat the Hungarian for winning the Cup! Furthermore, the German used to have excellent forward such as Klinsmann & Bierhoff. By the way, perhaps they're also one of the most discipline and organized football/soccer teams!!!

i've been supporting Italy since 90 world cup, i love their colour at first..........................

they play good tactics, 'on the ground' soccer, that's much better to watch than the ball flying in the sky all the time....

i was really upset when they lost to France in Euro2000....
and then heart broken when they lost to Korea.................................
and then fu.ked up when they didn't qualify for second round in Euro04.................
thx for Mr. Trap.....................

anyway, i'll support Italy for the rest of my life mo matter how they play..............

I like German as well for the exact same reason as rider's.  Germans use good strategy in their games and they know how to maximize the output from their players.

The German football/soccer do reflect the characters of the German nation: high-discipline, highly-organized, practical, high-efficiency, strong commitment, systematic, good strategy... Perhaps we should learn from them!
Unfortunately, the German keep disapponiting the fans recently, especially the goalkeepers: both Kahn & Lehmann. Fortunately, there's a new star in the team -- Kuranyi!
