They’re really fishing hard to try and get the casual fan to care without the US in the WC.

It sucks, but I can't blame them.

FOX lost an incomprehensible amount of money the moment the final whistle blew in Trinidad. They need to try and recoup those losses where they can.

Hardcore fans like us will watch no matter what, but millions of casuals in the US won't care without the US playing. Advertising revenue will take a huge hit, as a result.

So all us Couvillions, Robichauxs, Gaillards, and Brouilliettes are for France?

What do I do if my roots also bombed out in qualifying as well?

They're really pumping it, eh?
What do they normally broadcast to make you see these adverts?

Who do I pull for if someone in my family ruled 95% of Europe at some point?

Well, Germany probably ruled close to 95% of Europe before Stalingrad. So pull for that fifth star, I guess.

Thanks to 'Ancestry' I will add the Viking nations of Sweden, Iceland and Denmark to my previously known Germany and England as teams to root for.

European Royal families are inbred, so Bama.

Present day Germany is definitely one of the regions.

No doubt.

Once I found Edward III, it was easy to find the rest of Europe (and some Africa/Asia).
