I am an English sports fan.
As you all know there are certainties involved in that.
We have intense rivalries, for various reasons with Scotland, France, Australia, Germany and Argentina. We would want all of them to do badly. So who can I support this evening?
On balance I veer towards Germany, only because of the cheat that is Maradonna (but I so like Messi). But that's not enough.
Ran an die Pille!!!!
What about you?

Charlton Athletic : History 1918 to 1945
Charlton Athletic Information
From 1936 to 1939, only 5 defeats, a truly remarkable record. This along with the two FA Cup finals immediately after the war only makes me think that we would have been a regular top four club if the war did not intervene...
I can't support the Germans.
After the Portugal game I told everyone that they would win, wish I'd put my money where my mouth is!
Hope they smash the boring Argies 8-1 to shut em up
On the other hand the way Argentina bang on about the Falklands I really want to see Germany win (the war with them was over years ago so people need to get over it)
With the Argies though am just fed up with the banner, the Olympic training video... Enough now, you tried taking it by force and even though were miles away from there, weve one of the best armies in the world and after a few months you shat yourselves!!
As Shine said they displayed a banner proclaiming the Falklands to be Argentine before a game against Slovenia.
If they do that then the Germans are gonna batter them
How anyone can be on the side of the Hun? They are our sworn enemy!
What have the Argies ever done except win an election for the Snatcher!
Oh yes I've got the Argies in the sweepstake as well.
;o)
Germany play the game the right way and fully deserve to win, hopefully without the distraction of any controversy.
This final must be a real showpiece. The Beautiful Game is in danger of being engulfed in major scandal thanks to Fifa, and needs this evening's match to remind us of what a marvellous - and basically simple - sport it still is.
The Ethels have got themselves into pole position, but they have to finish the job. It was they themselves (well actually as West Germany) that stunned the all-conquering Hungarians in 1954 who were consequently left trophy-less in their golden era - the fabulous team of The Mighty Magyars, which will rightly never be forgotten, failed to receive the ultimate accolade of World Champions.
So, then, good luck to Loew and his splendid players, and also of course to the great German fans. Let's hope they do themselves justice, and put the shine back on our tarnished game.
The way the Argentinian football team brought politics into football with that pathetic banner stunt only confirms what I already feel - they act like childish idiots when it comes to the Falklands. They have a misplaced sense of entitlement and injustice brought about by being fed propaganda and misinformation from an early age. The way they obsess about it makes them look stupid and retarded as a nation. It is always ironic to be lectured about colonialism by a nation that deliberately and systematically exterminated its own native population...
And Germany have played some great football, their fans have been superb and they quite simply deserve it.
