Which, I believe, is where Brian exiled the US team.

I believe Bolivia finished 2nd to last in CONMEBOL... Which btw is insanely tough region from which to qualify.

Saw Iceland play in the Euro at the Velodrome. It was cool to see most of a country's population there.

NO
For me, in order, it'll be: 1. Iceland; 2. England; 3. Argentina

I lived there for a while in the 80s, and love the country. And all the underdogs.

I am a big EPL fan though and am excited with England’s young talent. Love to see Kane do something next year.

I used to watch Serie A in an Italian coffee shop in Chicago and as I recall you also need to be able to pray.

..if they make it.

Brazil. I hope they can redeem themselves after the 2014 thrashing.

Brasilero!

I still have this video. Also have the 1994 WC all star team VHS. They are both awesome and a crazy throwback.

Arsenal's Alex Iwobi's goal for Nigeria in the 74th minute against Zambia sent the Super Eagles to the 2018 World Cup with a 1-0 win and 13 points after five matches to clinch first place in their group.

Denmark didn't qualify for the '92 Euros, but Yugoslavia got booted for political reasons when the war broke out and as runner-up in that qualifying group the Danes were put in in their place. And won the championship.

I lived in the Netherlands for a bit early in my career, love the country, big fan of Van Persie, Robben and the gang. Was in my orange rooting for my second favorite team in the 2010 final (even though that Spain team played brilliantly for many years). I mean, two cups ago they were in the final and they did not qualify?!?!
Not nearly as crushing to my soul as the USMNT missing out, though.
So it's the backup to my backup: Poland. Have Polish heritage and I like Lewandowski.
I also tend to pull for Belgium as a another Benelux country I enjoy visiting (with the best beer!).

on the one hand, that incredible wave of talent (which also earned a third place in 2014) from a country of 16 million is pretty remarkable so a regression to the mean isn't shocking.
But probably swung too far the other way in terms of a lack of young talent.
