Which team is your favorite to watch and why? I'm not asking which team is your favorite, just which team you most enjoy watching, whether it be for their players, their playing style, etc.

I like Nigeria's style... Odenwingie and Martins are pretty entertaining to watch

I had the highest expectations for the Netherlands.

So far in friendlies and actual WC games, Spain and Germany have looked razor sharp.

Germany


they're disciplined... crisp passing and counter-attack style, sadly though, this isn't 'thrill-a-minute' soccer...

USA, obv. It's like watching LSU sports...it's just different when there's so much at stake at every moment for your own team.

Nederlands among foreign countries. My WE9 squad was populated by Dutch footballers, developed Sneijder and Stekelenburg into world-class players over 8 years of Master League.

Yes I watched, every minute... but as I said... their fundamentals and crisp style is amazingly sound... if they play that way the rest of the tournament, they'll be hard to beat...

but I don't consider it "thrilling" to watch, it's slow... I'd rather watch their highlight reel.

It wasn't slow at all IMO.

Netherlands' smooth and attacking style

Robin van Persie ( I hope he is healthy)

I post this without knowing the Denmark vs Neth score, having recorded it for viewing after I do some chores.

Maybe I wasn't watching the same game.



I'm not saying they weren't dominant, because they handily served up 4 goals... after the red booking, it was over... but I just don't think it was as entertaining as some other games.

But having said that, I digress... they'll be hard to beat if they play that well as they move through their group.

podolski's weight on thru-passes got me super wet

may have been some other flaxen-haired german youth on a couple of those deft touches, but it was beautiful nonetheless

Mesut Ozil is as creative as anyone in the tournament, Muller is always in the perfect spot, Lahm is great coming out of the back, their passes are always spot on, they made darting runs throughout the game through Australia's backline. I don't know, maybe we find different things exciting.

Poldi's left foot is the thing dreams are made of.

Yeah, the Germans played pretty awesome possession soccer yesterday. I don't know what people are talking about in terms of calling them boring.

When Spain is on, it's almost a thing of art.

Germany was extremely fun to watch as well.
