We need to know what teams @RonGilbert, @David et al are supporting…

I’m gonna guess Ron will be supporting Australia and David either Mexico or Egypt (because of moustaches).

That’s an interesting fact! I didn’t know that all players from Mexico and Egypt have to wear a mustache …

I thought Epytians wear those funny goatees?

I know, my jokes are sooooo 3000 BC.

That’s not quite correct, it’s more to do with who you support…
The rule is, if you have a moustache, you have to support whoever has the best moustaches in general as a nation.

So what if you have a full beard? Some northern country perhaps?

Yeah, I’m guessing Sweden or Iceland, but I’m no beard expert to be honest.

Well, a full beard is expected by teams like Iran or Saudi Arabia.

By the way… it started, and I’m loving it. Every four years I don’t care about anything else, I want to watch every single match. Maybe it’s because I love both football and geography. I do the same for the Olympic Games, I try to watch as much as I can.

Until that very last part I thought you were talking about growing a full beard…

You ask such tough questions! US! Oops, they didn’t qualify… Italy (because I’ll be visiting Italy this September!) Oops, they didn’t qualify. Ok, I’ll be rooting for Spain or France or a Latin America country, because Thimbleweed Park is translated into their languages.

Are you even a football (soccer) fan, @David? :slight_smile: Is the World Cup a big thing in the USA like in Germany, France, Spain and other European countries?

What is it with you and your rhethoric questions?

No, not really. I’ll watch an occasional game during the Olympics or World Cup. Really loved watching a game in Ireland in a pub, especially when the Irish team won. But besides not being a big thing in the US (though gaining in popularity), I’m really not into watching team sports. Much rather watch Legion or Game of Thrones or Stranger Things or…

Don’t quit your day job yet…
The real question though is: who will you root for next Thursday? :faroe_islands: :belgium: I know… but England doesn’t have its own flag on Disco-R-us… because it isn’t a real country?

They did not??
What happened? Last time I watched they won every European and World championship…

We on the other hand are all sport jocks here! …Ahem… (that Zak playthrough and hints thread getting over 1000 posts was just a glitch) :slight_smile:
