In no particular order:
- Germany
- Argentina
- England
Australia[DAMMIT]
- Switzerland
- Ghana
Portugal, Italy, Brazil, Spain, Ukraine (I’m not sure if the ones in Toronto are honkers, but since there is a sizeable immigrant community here, I believe, I don’t want to risk it), or France fans: you are my enemy.

Argentina! Just for the pretty.
One down. Of the “you may root for” list.
Australia to Italy lost in the final minute of the game. But you can probably hear that outside right now.
Let’s hope Switzerland manages to keep the Ukranians away. For more reasons that peace in the neighbourhood.
Oh, the Ukrainians are honkers. They sure do honk.
I know nothing about football/soccer except that Beckham is hot, and the U.S. sucks. I am trying to be patient with our Hungarian contractor, since this is apparently the biggest deal ever. I thought it was amusing when he didn’t show up one Friday, and then when I called him, he said “Oh, it is holiday for Europeans! First Day of World Cup!” Ok, whatever. That’s cute. Then today, it’s 11 AM, and no contractors. I call. “Oh, the tile guy? He’s an Australian citizen, and he is too upset to work today.” First of all, the man doesn’t speak a world of English, so I’m unclear how he aquired Australian citizenship. Second of all, could you call me before 11 AM, so that I don’t wake up at the crack of dawn to wait for you????” Can’t wait for this to be over.
I’m in some work pool, and picked Italy, cuz they’re hot. I promise not to honk.
The Swiss lost to Ukraine on penalty kicks – which is a sucky way to lose. And when Portugal loses, they just “adopt” Brazil as their team, and the honking increases ten-fold. Also, Argentina better not win, because they are cheaters.
I still prefer World Cup madness to Leafs fans doing the same thing every time Toronto manages to stave off elimination for one more game (not that that was an issue this year – HA!). This is partly because I don’t live downtown anymore, but also because soccer rules and hockey so doesn’t.
Looks like you can strike the last two of the “root for” lists as well. Brazil is well ahead of Ghana. Happy honking will ensue.
Yeah, I just saw that. I’m hoping the Toronto Brazilian and quasi-Brazilian population is at work and won’t be able to get time off for honking.
Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk!
That was all I heard walking down College Street.
Perhaps they were honking at you hottie.
I was wearing my assless chaps come to think of it.
