I think a lot of my generation remembers the great Dutch players of our youth, so they've always been a team i watch out for, as well as the few Dutch connections our club has had over the years (still miss the Big Man).
Previous World Cups where we've been knocked out, i've tended to quietly root for the team that knocked us out, hoping that at least we could claim to have been beaten by the eventual winners, so i think i might go with that again and hope beyond hope that the wonderfully energetic and hard working brand of football the Costa Ricans have been putting out carries on. It was a toss up between them and Chile as they are both hugely entertaining but in totally different ways.
