Default World Cup 2010 - Who you gonna support?

So who you be supporting at this years World Cup in South Africa - England or Australia?

I guess it depends if you're an expat or a migrant.

Gonna have to be Australia for me.

[I'm assuming that the patriotic Welsh, Irish and Scots will be 100% behind England - ]

England, always, but I will support Australia in their matches, providing they're not playing England of course.

If there is one thing you can be sure of, the Welsh, Irish and Scots will always back whoever England is playing.

Me, I will be backing England. Just because I have changed countries doesnt mean that I have changed sides. I still support Newcastle United (for my sins), I havent gone and changed to Sydney United because I live over here.

So you only want to watch the group stage and not the knock out phase?

I'm half with you there. I love to see the Aussie cricket and rugby union team lose, but only because of the arrogance within the media that they have this god-given right to win every game and if they lose it is because the other team cheated. But I will support the Aussies in other sports. Oh I just remembered another exception to my rule, I LOVE seeing Lleyton Hewitt lose!

Will watch all the Australia and England games. I really want Aus to do well. Not sure how I will go if they meet in the 2nd round. Probably watch the game on my own in a highly anxious state.

Aus is taking the 4th largest total of supporters after USA, England, and Germany. Around 17,000 fans travelling.

I really can't see Australia getting into the 2nd round.

England first then Australia, however if like last time where the bunch of overpaid losers put in a half arsed attempt at playing i'll be gunning more for the Aussies. The passion and guts they put into their effort in 2006 was amazing, if let down by Lucas Neil being a tool at the end. I'm also hoping for a meeting in the 2nd round of both of them, that should be fun.
