    What are your 3 favourite National teams not including England or the other home nations, just wandered what teams you support during world cups and Euro cups, here are my 3 -

    1. Czech Republic - always get thier shirt for the Euro's, i love a few of thier players and Jan Kollar was a legend

    2. Argentina - just hate Brazil and love to watch Argentina (when maradonna isnt in charge)

    3. Nigeria - A good representation in the Prem, Oba was a favourite player while he was here and i think the Yak is quality aswell.

    Belgium - Used to live there so always look out for them and they have a good amount of young players pushing into the national squad that will make them a dangerous team in the future.

    Japan - Having worked with the Japanese for many years; they are an insane bunch of supporters and also I like the style of football they play.

    France - I have many French friends I usually try and watch the matches with.

    Even if I could include England in my top three they wouldn't be in there, overpaid, overated, not representative of the best of English talent, never picked on form. I think Germany are class and they play as a team. They also nurture their young talent and don't rely on the same old set of dinosaurs a la Gerrard, Lampard, Terry, Barry.

    Spain - Started supporting them a few years before their Euro win when they were still known as tournament chokers and underachievers; I think because of liking Valencia and the young stars they had at the time

    Cameroon - My first memories of World Cups are of them for whatever reason? And I remember how excited I was to watch teenage Samuel Eto'o

    [Canada is my home nation]

    I'd happily get behind England if only they would do away with this past generation's players

    Mines would be not including Scotland of course.

    1.Portugal-holidayed in the Algarve over 25 times and have a soft spot for the conutry as a whole
    2.Argentina-Always liked them,no real reason for it.
    3.France-more recent thing,for obvious reasons

    Italy love everthing about the country.

    Brazil alway's loved their style of football.

    Mexico the 1970 world cup there was the first one I really got into and Ivé supported Mexico ever since.

    1. England
    2. England
    3. ENGLAND

    proud of my country and my heritage, would never support another nation if England were in the tournament even if I didn't like the players, manager, ball boy or whatever other reasons people find to slag off our national side. National pride seems to be generally lacking in our society today.

    1. Germany, they play some cracking stuff and have some top quality players.

    2. Chille, after their first game of the last world cup I seemed to be looking out for their matches. Didn't know any of their players but again like Germany played some decent stuff through that tournament.

    3. Brazil, nuff said!

    Mind you, having been a season ticket holder for 30 years am I not allowed to wallow in our glory?

    FIFA obviously felt that the offer of two sea lions and a puffin was a more attractive bribe than a sheep.

    Pah! You plastic.

    I support Scotland; no greater way of showing yourself as a non glory hunting fan.
