    Posted: 08 Oct 2013 at 8:44pm
Ireland  may be out of the World Cup,   Trapatoni   failed us for  five and a half years.
But    which countries   will  Irish fans root for  in  World Cup 2014 ? Teams which has Irish names on their World Cup Squads i.e  Australia or USA under Klinnsmann ?
Will   Irish fans  cheer on England ?
 
I will  come  to the point.    Will   there be any  surprise countries or dark  horses that may reach the
quarter Finals or beyond in World Cup 2014  ?   
 
I think   it will   be  a   Brazil  vs   Germany  Final.      Where   will England  reach  in the World Cup 2014 ,  the quarter finals or
semis ?   Will Rooney, Walcott,Sturridge  blossom ?   
 
Football   is a  funny   old game , any thing can   happen in the World Cup, you  get weird results  in the World cup.      Roll on Brazil 2014.      Yours in sport  Hugh  Dublin

Always had soft spot for Germany.
 
Won't be supporting England. Quarters at best for them, Rooney will flop like he has done in most major chamionships
 
Dark Horses depending on if they qualify and group they get would be Bosnia and Chile both very exciting attacking teams with some very good players Dzeko,Begovic, Pjanic,Alexis Sanchez, Vidal, Isla could see one of them reaching quarters maybe even semis

Due to the climate the winners will be a south american team. The energy will be sapped from the European teams.

Belgium out of interest...not much different a nation than ourselves ( OK twice as big) but it would give you an indication of what Ireland would be like as a competing nation if we had no GAA or Rugby....I am assuming Football is by far the number 1 sport there amongst participating males.

Anyway , they have a great set of individuals and I will be very interested to see if their manager can get to bring out their fullpotential.

Chile are the team to watch, may not win it but will play wondeful football.........and Uruguay will always give a good account of themselves (and previous winners in brazil).
