But some people just root for a good team too even if they don't have ancestry there.

But yeah pretty much every American does this except for the Mexican immigrants who never root for America at all.

If France somehow won the world cup I'd never forgive the world for the injustice of it all, reckon I'd probably become a super villain living in an underground lair and hold the world hostage to make them all wipe France off the face of the earth.

This. You have to remember, for people in the US that are fans of forign leagues, our favorite players play for another country.

As an American I root for America, as the grandson of Sweish Immigrants I root for Sweden in everything (though that doesnt do me much good this year) and I am pulling The Ivory Coast as I think Drogba is fucking amazing.

Don't know all sounds bizzare, I mean Ireland are shit and won't ever win a world cup ( USA certainly going to win one at some point you'd think ) but I'd not have a "second" team going into a tournament we're in.

I've supported Netherlands ever since I played some soccer game on Super Nintendo in like 1995 and always picked Netherlands because their jerseys are all orange. Fucking love them. And always loved watching Ronaldo and Brazil "as a kid."

That sounds silly to me. You're American and the United States are in the World Cup so I don't see why you have to have 2 or 3 countries to "support". The World Cup is the ultimate symbol of patriotism. Even if you only take an interest every four years, you should stand by your nation. Wales haven't qualified in over 50 years, and fuck knows if they even will in my lifetime, so you don't know how lucky you are to have your country to follow in the tournament almost every time.

Has to do with the history of the U.S. being relatively young compared to the centuries old European and certain Asian nations while also being made up from a large diversity of people.

Mix this huge diversity with the fact of the "youth" of pro-level soccer in the U.S. (USL was too short and a long time ago), it makes sense for someone to be a fan of their family's "home" country and the US.

There was soccer before the 1970s but mostly amateur leagues and teams while the USL was the first big pro-league to get attention and MLS is the current generation pro-league for most USA fans.

I dunno, rooting for multiple teams on different levels is an american thing I guess.

Most people have "their" team. They also have other players and shit they like.

Ultimately, I think we all want the US to win. But should they get eliminated, we are still going to watch those other teams and players we like.
Its not like I am going to be wearing a Dogba jersey with my face painted blue and yellow and an American flag. they are not all on the same level.

The IF My team doesnt win, I dont want x team to win, but I do want X team to win stance is common ground/

Yeah when England weren't in the Euros 2 years ago I didn't support another team, I still watched every game for the joy of watching some great football.

Most people I know, being from Liverpool and having a strong spanish influence in our team, supported Spain and I was fine with that, but I still didn't exactly support anybody. Although in the end I was happy to see Reina, Torres, Alonso etc doing well and winning.

yea, this. My great grandfather came though Ellis Island in NY from Czechoslovakia, so I first and foremost root the the USA in every world games, but support the Czech Republic as well. And my other side of the family came over from Ireland, but they usually aren't that good in sports.

I know a lot of my generation has parents, grandparents or certainly great grandparents that came over from Europe and a lot of people celebrate thier heritage here. And I am from NY right outside NYC, so pretty much every kid I grew up with had someone in thier family from Europe.

Keep in mind, rooting for multiple teams may not be the best thing, but it's an improvement over the apathy most Americans feel about the world cup. Ask the average American how the USA will do in the world cup, they'll reply "What the hell is the world cup?"

GO USA!!!!!!!!!!

I don't understand what's wrong with rooting for multiple teams. It's not as if we'd ever root against america. If any of these second or third picks go up against U.S., we will be rooting for U.S. I mean, it's not as if we paint our faces, buy jerseys, and go nuts for these other teams, like we do for the U.S.

Do you just not watch the world cup at all when your team is out?

It doesn't seem as fun to watch the world cup just to watch it, after your team gets knocked out. It's always more fun when you have someone to root for. If they win, it won't be even close to the same as your home country winning, because you don't have that emotional investment in the team, but it still feels good.

Yea I usually root for USA/Mexico first. Then any team from North/South america next. So I usually end up rooting for Brazil in the end.

But I only watch soccer when the World cup rolls around and I think it's pretty fun and entertaining. So to each his own..there's no rules to what number of teams one can root for.

Born in america. Grandmother was Algerian so technically we have "Algerian blood". But to be honest I'd feel bad not rooting for the "Arab team". Even though I know they wont last.

Work sweepstake everyone gets 2 teams one from the top 16 one from the bottom and both teams performance added together via some convuluted points system. Pulled out Brazil and Aussies so thats good.

Yeah a few papers have jumped on this story, its just clearly not true. Fifa denied it and the only quote from anyone is this from one of the linesmen
