I remember two world cup finals in a row where it was Germany versus Argentina and I'm sure England fans didn't have a clue who to cheer for so I was wondering if it was Germany versus France (or even Portugal now I guess) who would you cheer for.
I thought English people disliked the French more but my brother in law who lives in England says Germany are disliked more.
Well who would you cheer for? (and no obvious jokes about final cancelled, bombs etc)

Hope the Germans win it, lovely country and very nice people apart from when they put their towels on all the sunbed round the pool on holiday

I hope football's the winner Niall.
Joking aside, I hope the team that plays the better football wins. All the diving and 'simulation' is really starting to ruin the game, and some teams just haven't gelled either. If France play like they did against Brazil, I'll be rooting for them, they were excellent. If they play like they did in their opening two games (v Switzerland and S.Korea) I'll be rooting for Germany.

France are the best team left-Marchons marchons! I said if Brazil dont win it , the team that beats them will-Ill stick by that.
Thierry Henry has the chance to show his class on the world stage , I hope he takes the chance ..Go France!

I could never understand that Americanism..."rooting" for a team. Does anyone else draw conotations from this expression or am I the only one with the filthy mind?? Besides my wife won't let me root anyone else, let alone an entire nation!!! 
I think I'll just support Germany.

All i can say is "Allez les Bleus"-- c'mon France, after Zidane's mesmeric performance against Brazil, he cemented my belief that he has been the greatest player in the world for the past 10 years, and surely one of the top 5 of all time. Just awesome. Im sure we could find a spot for him at Anfield if he changes his mind

I may lean towards France only because of Zidane who is just world class. Cool, calm, collected. Surely one player who we will really miss when he retires.
