I can't believe some people actually care how well their continent is doing.

Are there really Brazilians thinking "oh if we don't win it, I'll root for Argentina"?

I'd be delighted if all of Germany's European rivals drop out.

I'll definitely root for any American team (other than Argentina) if Brazil is knocked out.

Our biggest rivals are European :p

What an awesome week of matches, and really cool to see all of the CONCACAF people supporting each other. If/when US meets Mexico then yeah it's war, but until then definitely pulling hard for all my CONCACAF teams.

We'll stop supporting our region once you lot stop collectively shitting on it.

I remember people in the draw thread actually saying that the US wouldn't be able to qualify for the World Cup if they were in UEFA. That we only qualify because 'lol CONCAFAF' and that in a real region we'd never make it through. Our domination of the region wasn't a symbol of our quality, just a lack of competition. Yet now we are seeing that CONCACAF does have quality sides that can compete with and beat Europe (and South Americas') best.

And so, naturally, we all want to thump our chests a little bit and crow about the quality we have on this side of the Atlantic. Because it not only means that Costa Rica is better than the Euro-snobs thought, it means that the US and Mexico and Honduras and Panama, et al. are probably better too.

But it's true that the USA might not qualify in UEFA.

holy fucking shit. You have a huge chip on your shoulder about this. No one in europe, nor this mythical Eurosnob strawman you've built really gives a shit about CONCACAF. It's a developing federation full of countries that don't give a shit about football and for a long time dominated by Mexico. There's never been any collective shitting, just collective not giving a shitting.

That's a massive assumption based on nothing.

And, to be frank, a lot of the CONCACAF teams over the years in World Cup's have been shit. USA and Mexico have been the only ones to hold their own.
