Teams I would like to qualify:
group A - Uruguay and Mexico
group B - Argentina and Greece
group C - England and Algeria
group D - Australia and Serbia
group E - Netherlands and Japan
group F - Slovakia and New zealand
group G - Brazil and North Korea
group H - Spain and Chile
Yes i havent rooted for white teams in all of my choices, but then it would be interesting to see a couple of Asian teams get through, and id like to see Algeria achieve something as they beat most of the West African teams in the recent African cup yet they are still, for some reason, considered weaker than the black teams.

The fun has begun already: World Cup journalists robbed at gunpoint
Maybe I should've started a World Cup crime thread as there's likely to be as much action off the pitch as on it. Edited by: Matra1

I'd prefer all-white Slovenia to go through. They played well in their qualifying group finishing ahead of the Czech Republic and Northern Ireland. They then beat Russia in a playoff. The British press aren't giving them much respect.Edited by: Matra1

Yeah it would be nice to see Slovenia to go through too. Personally im gutted that Russia didnt make it though (because of Slovenia!) Without Russia this world cup might well be be mullett free.

Yes, they are all white but I am not a fan of the Italian game. Of course I, as a rule, support white teams, but i dont support them all blindly. The Italians overachieve on what is generally a diet of negative and defensive minded football. Inter Milan won the Champions league largely as a result of its 4 - 3 formation (3 midfields immediately in front of the defence and always behind the ball) which formed an impenetrable wall and snuffed out most of the potential excitement.
Also in my opinion the Italian national team were unexiting and undeservedly won the World cup in 2006.
If they play flowing and at least semi-attack minded football this time round though i will be happy to support them.
I agree...although Italy is a 100% White side with all native Italians, they are a difficult team to support.
Frankly, about as interesting as paint drying. And they've played this way for over 30 years. I think with Baggio in 1994 was the last time they even attempted some sort of vague offensive style.
Slovenia, Slovakia, Serbia and Spain might be the best choices for a White supporters perspective.
Denmark would've been too, but they decided to include a Brazilian mystery meat passport mercenary and some sort of other nonwhite 'New Dane' immigrant.
My threshold for national teams is only 1 obvious non-native...of course the very concept of such a thing logically leads to the obvious questions posed in the other thread.
What's the purpose of having a national team and competition?
There should be ZERO tolerance for foreign born players regardless of how lone they lived in the new country.
Mixed breeds and sons of immigrants? well, again opens up a whole new can of worms.
Anyway, England didn't do us many favors. Heskey, King, and SWP were included dubiously and at the expense of just as talented (if not more) White English players. ok, I can grant you A. Cole and Ferdinand...but Rio is out and Cole may still be rusty.
I think he will be tested.
Germany is a freakin disgrace under multi-culturalist Coach Low(minded).
They will likely never be 100% Germanic ever again.
Netherlands? Humm..a mixed bag, pardon the pun.
Too many marginal immigrant and nonwhite mercenary players. Yes, most grew up in Netherlands. Yet, the country has no shortage of talented young and not so young White players.
I truly hope Robben plays in the WC. Again, shows you how stupid coaches are..playing the best key players in meaningless scrimmage games after a long and demanding domestic league season. As if Robben needed to sharpen his world class skills!
Totally idiotic. And he is probably the best Dutch player. There are many as well. Now, he likely won't be featured in the first two matches.
Maybe he can play in the knockout phase. Assuming they get there of course.
Besides this, Spain will likely be the most realistic White hope to actually win the WC trophy.
100% White Spainard and they actually try to score! Sorry Italy, Spain is a much better team to support this year.
I'd rate Argentina a better side over the likes of the mixed USA, ******* France, and all the rest. How many non-Swiss on the Swiss team this year? Is Frei seriously injured?
Oh and Uruguay seems to be nearly 100% White descent Uruguyans. maybe one or 2 mestizos, but they would be better to support then teams like France and (sadly) Germany this year.
Having said this, I will of course pull for White stars such as Rooney, Gerrard, Joe Cole, Klose, Podolski and Kuyt, Van Persie and Robben to do some great things.
We'll see.
Although please don't be surprised if African teams get a few gift calls from FIFA.

i'm surprised to see so little love for Argentina ...
meanwhile, Germany is devastated with injuries. they are without midfielders Ballack (team captain and one of the world's elite midfielders) and Simon Rolfes, defenders Heiko Westermann and Christian Trasch (a young talent), and their keeper Rene Adler. five White talents who won't be on the pitch ...

Crime happens in every country doesnt it? Didnt we have football squads&journalists robbed in Germany didnt we? And surely the white hooligans rioted in the stadiums?
Latest crime report from South Africa. http://www.goal.com/en/news/1863/wo...greece-squad-fall-victim-to-robbery-in-durban
The greeks are pathetic. They should kick up a fuss over this but of course they wont.

So in the space of a few day we have had the Greek and Colombian squads robbed. Journalists have been robbed at gunpoint. Nigerians rioted at a match against North Korea. But check out Sepp Blatter's response

Some Chinese reporters were also robbed. What an absolute mess...and the games haven't even started yet!
Did you enjoy the "diverse" musical acts for the opening of the World Cup?:
Alicia Keys
Amadou & Mariam
Angelique Kidjo
Black Eyed Peas
John Legend
Parlotones Official
Tinariwen
Shakira
Vusi Mahlasela
Juanes
Vieux Farka Touré
I guess if the NBA can be considered "diverse" when 82% of the players are black (given blacks make up only 13% of the overall population), then why not have the same "diversity" with musical acts for the World Cup?

the first controversy of the World Cup favors host South Africa ...
late in the first half of the opening match with the host team, Mexico has a goal disallowed, apparently for being offsides. however, replays clearly show that a South African defender was standing on the post. which means it is completely impossible for the attacking player to be offsides.
in all honesty, it wasn't even a questionable goal. it was clearly good, yet it was dis-allowed.
'twas a completely horrible call by the referee.

I'm watching the opening World Cup game between Mexico and South Africa. These have to be two of the least athletic national squads I've seen in ages. Every player looks emaciated and small-bodied.
Mexico was just robbed of a goal in dramatic fashion. I'd imagine the "world consensus"Â is for the odious South African host nation to win the cup. I see plenty of white South African men in the crowd, faces painted, horns blowing, screaming in ecstasy. Nelson Mandela and his terrorist chums must be amused at these Drunk White Fans, cheering for their all-black squad representing the most violent, racist nation on planet earth. Edited by: Thrashen

Thrashen, excellent post, as usual.
speaking of the "world consensus," my dad was listening to a local sports radio show whilst driving yesterday and the topic of the World Cup came up. you can guess who the fat, moronic hosts were pulling for ... the world's dream of utopia,the White-geno(s)ide of South Africa.
needless to say, my dad turned off the radio feeling sickened.
Two of my least favorite nations playing, Mexico/South Africa. I will be happy to see either lose and I will be pulling for Uruguay to beat France this afternoon as I go home to watch it. This weekend's games should be much more interesting and the game Sunday afternoon between Germany/Australia will be nationally televised on ABC.

after blowing numerous chances in the first half (and having 1 goal taken away), Mexico is now on the wrong end of the scoreboard.
the hosting White geno(s)side South Africans score the opening goal of the World Cup. may both of these teams lose. always.
as an aside, it was a pretty goal.

ESPN's negrophiles (apparently including former US National Team member Alexi Lalas) are reporting the stolen Mexican goal as "clearly offsides" and "there's no controversy here at all."
at the same time they are making these inane comments, they are showing the video which CLEARLY shows a South African defender standing on the post. i mean, how blatant can the lies be!?!?!
if the idiot American viewing audience believes such an obvious lie, is there any hope at all for the sheeple?

Both teams were poor. Mexico imparticulaly is they should be capable of more. The were a lot of mislaid passes and im wondering how much the new ball had to do with this.
Lets see how the other teams deal with it..
