Default World Cup Winner

Who will win the football world cup?

I am in Ukraine so still have hopes for my team. But today we meet Italy, and they are tough guys.

Although...I definitely would have voted for 'the referees' were it an option :/

If Italy wins, USA is the moral winner :-) since USA, IMO was the moral winner of the match against Italy.

In addition:
Norway has never lost against Brazil.

Last match between USA and Norway:

USA 5 - Norway 0.

Q.E.D.

Well to be honest, before now, I'd never really given it a fair shot.

Now that I have, I can say unequivocally that not only do I not enjoy it, I hate it - and not just a little.

If the U.S. is the only country on the planet that doesn't like/care about soccer, I am absolutley in the right place.

There is a Norwegian word:

"Fotball enker" = Soccer widows.

I love the sport. I have played Handball and Basketball, but it is not comparable to soccer on green grass :-)

Well... if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck... its a duck.
I cant stand the sport either.
I played soccer as a kid and really didn't care for it then either.
I cant wait until today is over.
