A football dilemma

So I have quickly become an avid football fan. Perhaps it is because I am in Europe, perhaps it is because I am bored. Regardless, I just can't get enough of watching the sport. However I have quickly reached a problem with this new found hobby...Which team should I be supporting?

When one is new to a sport, how does one decide? I have no personal affiliation with any of the teams. I do not know the rules to the game and I don't understand the plays, or what constitutes a good kick. I basically have no idea what goes on during the game besides my own interpretation of what I am seeing. And being so uneducated, it doesn't tell me much!

So how do I go about finding a team? Do I go with the crowd favorite, Brazil? Or do I follow my parents and root for Portugal? Perhaps I should root for the best-looking team...hmmm...where to begin?

Greetings from Sydney, Australia.
Hi Sarah,
I am one of Justine's friends and she recommended me visit your site as well as Simon's...

Funny you should mention football as I have been doing a bit of watching myself.

I woke up early yesterday to catch a 3.55AM train into the city to meet my friends in a bar so that we could watch Australia play against Croatia. The match started at 5am...

As much as I would have liked watching in the comfort of my own home. You need the vibe of other Aussie fans to add to the experience.

Despite the crazy hour that I had to get up, it was all worth the trouble as Australia is now through to the final 16.

As for going for the best looking team... I'll have to wish you luck on that one!

Cheers, Cathy
