Costa Rica in the Quarter-finals would be an absolute joy. I'm really really supporting them here.

[Matty]

Final four here we come.

[UnderdogRaptors]

Go Greece

[britblazerdude]

Greece is pretty hard to support here.

1. Ugly football.
2. Football hate groups.
3. Golden Dawn and current fascist movements.
4. Greece is a bloody drain on Europe.
5. Costa Rica is in CONCACAF.
6. Costa Rica is a fricken rad country
7. LOS TICOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Costa Rica 10 - undeserving Greece 0

Costa Rica 10 - undeserving Greece 0

How about this deal: All Greek debts to be voided, as long as Greece permanently changes its name to "Undeserving Greece".

Their coach is a prick and Joel Campbell's flop vs the US was still pretty bad but I am rooting for them since it is good for CONCACAF and they are a funner team.

I'll settle for them renouncing all claims to the name of Macedonia.

1. Ugly football.

Fair enough.

2. Football hate groups.

What do you mean by that?

3. Golden Dawn and current fascist movements.

Unfortunately, we are not the only European country that has seen its Neo-Nazi movement rise due to the European Union's economic policy.

4. Greece is a bloody drain on Europe.

Not really true. Plus, most of the people in Greece don't even want to be in the European Union. Unfortunately, the EU is not going to let us leave the European Union which is why the European leaders (Juncker, Merkel etc.) have fought strongly against the rise of the Left-wing Syriza in Greece and have supported the right-wing New Democracy party.

5. Costa Rica is in CONCACAF.
6. Costa Rica is a fricken rad country
7. LOS TICOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fair enough. I absolutely understand the fact that Americans would prefer to root for Costa Rica due to geographical proximity and familiarity with a number of Costa Rican players.

I also agree that Costa Rica has played better football in this World Cup. They are truly looking a lot better than us and they are the clear cut favorites in my opinion. All of them are valid reasons.

Once again, you (and everyone else) have every right to support Costa Rica over Greece. Just don't let political misconceptions influence your opinion. That's all.

2. Football hate groups.
