My third favorite was Spain, mainly because of Raúl, Morientes, Hierro, Zubizarreta, Iván Helguera and others, but then they started winning, so I stopped supporting.
Looks like you could start again

Canada obviously isn't in the WC so I root for the Netherlands and Croatia, not exactly sure why, perhaps they don't dive as much. I watch parts of a game every day or so.

I only watch Chile, Colombia and the United States.

I might watch the Ghana vs Germany game, that could be an important one.

I watch EVERY game but i don't pay much attention to Iran-Nigeria and France-Honduras as i do with all the games of the Netherlands and other top games (on paper) like Germany-Portugal and England-Italy.

Yes but not all the games because my OH isn't interested and he would get annoyed if football was on the telly all evening. Shall definitely be watching the England game tonight though.

I'm watching some games, but I'm not too enthusiastic about my country.
This year we have elections and I'm afraid if Dilma Rousseff use an eventual triumph of the brazilian team for political purposes.

Do people in your countries have little window flags (on a plastic stick) on their cars?

Here you can see flags of various WC countries all the time these days.

The most commonly seen flag in my city is Portugal by far. Although they are a little depressed at the moment...
