Football Fanats 2013

Possible reasons:

-South Korea = USA colony since 1950
-they are yellow
-If there would be a Stunts Korean pipsqueak he'll be the best pipsqueak ever.
-they won a lot of matches in penalty kicks OMG in their own WC.

I don't know more haha

My reasons:

-South Korea = USA colony since 1950 --> 0.999 %
-they are yellow --> 0%
-If there would be a Stunts Korean pipsqueak he'll be the best pipsqueak ever. --> 0.001%
-they won a lot of matches in penalty kicks OMG in their own WC. --> 99%

In my eyes the latter was the greatest scandal of the history of World Cups. It happened before and after that referees made suspicious 'mistakes' during a single match. But that was the only case when they pushed a really crappy team against a series of definitely better opponents, and it was completely impossible to say that they were only lucky with the mistakes of the referee... Seeing the 'success' of South Korea, I seriously thought about stopping to watch international football.

[Chulk]

I thought that might be the reason, but I didn't think you gave it that much importance. WC '66 semifinals were far a worse arrangement than 2002

Such refined distinctions... As for me, I support São Paulo, and lately I have been pretty much neutral whenever São Paulo is not involved. Teams I like to see doing well include Barcelona (too easy ) and Liverpool (jajaja); additionally, I have a slight dislike for Chelsea and Real Madrid (slight enough so that, for instance, I never had any issues with using a Madrid shirt I got as a gift back in my teens). And, naturally, laughing at Palmeiras and Corinthians still is as good a pastime as any 

As for NTs, beyond Brazil I have a soft spot for Poland, Japan, Sweden, Denmark and whichever team is playing great football at a given tournament - even Argentina sometimes

Poland

Do you have Polish ancestors? You had Poland's logo as an avatar before, right?

Awful news... being a 3/8 Pole ancestry-wise I feel even more disheartened.

Hungarian Second Division East

The spring season has started:

Round 16: Vác-Kazincbarcika cancelled (Vác is struggling with license problems, told the Football Association 1 days before the match that they won't be able to play the match, Kazincbarcika could not avoid postponing the match, travelled to Vác, there was no match played, Kazincbarcika might get the 3 points for the game - decision tomorrow, but Vác is still threathened with getting expelled from the championship)

Round 17: Kazincbarcika-Putnok 3-0

1          Békéscsaba                   17    9    7    1         36    :    20    16         34

11          Kazincbarcika                   16    6    2    8         21    :    24    -3         20
12          Újpest II                   17    6    1    10         23    :    31    -8         19

16          Debrecen II                   17    4    4    9         22    :    28    -6         16

Cegléd: 2 pts were deducted.
Vác-Kazincbarcika and Szeged-Vác games were cancelled, no result shown in the table.

Best team will get promoted to top division (in the Western Group as well), they will be replaced by the 15th-16th placed teams (2 teams) of top division 2012/13 (currently Eger and Siófok). 2nd-5th placed teams from both Groups will play next year in the one-group Second Division (2x4=8 teams), 6th-8th placed teams of both Groups will play playoff games against the 6 third division champions for the remaining six places in the one-group Second division 2013/14.
"B" teams of top division teams (Honvéd-MFA, Ferencváros II, Újpest II, Debrecen II) do not count, so currently Vác would play a playoff game against a third division champion instead of Honvéd-MFA).

Actually I hate you ("kidding" ), but your national football team is great.

Our attack is second to none, defence is the weak point. If we manage to get solid on defence, then we can be truly candidates in 2014.
Attack wins matches, but it's defence that wins titles!

Barca will have a hard (almost impossible) mission in Nou Camp against Milan...

Easier than expected, LOL.

Having Messi is almost cheating...
