I must admit I'm having an excellent World Cup experience even though the Netherlands are not in it.
I've been cheering for Brazil.
(For those that do not know: My girlfriend Bianca is Brazilian).
Besides the first game where I sort of had to get into it. (It is 'strange' cheering for another country).
I have been having a blast watching the games with my Brazilian friends.
As usual it comes down to switching your mindset.
One can choose not to enjoy the World Cup because you are not in it or you can just choose to have fun cheering for another team and just go with it.
I choose the latter. I chose fun. I just prefer it.
I now even get nervous when they play, lol.
Just like with the Netherlands.
Yesterday we were all at a nice sportsbar in Rotterdam.
The place was filled to the brim with Brazilian supporters.
The atmosphere was excellent with a lot of cheering and singing.
The result was excellent too!
2-0 for Brasil.
On monday they play again!
It's the knockout phase that's when the real nerves begin!

Non of my countries qualified, even my wife’s country Poland 🇵🇱 sucked. When I watched Brazil 🇧🇷 playing with Costa Rica 🇨🇷, when I saw how frustrated Brazil was and at the end how Neymar got emotional, I became a huge fan of Brazil. I also like Belgium 🇧🇪. I hope they both get to meet in the final.

I bet watching the World Cup with brazilians is a lot different than with Dutchmans. I was also rooting for Brazil, I just got very worried about Marcelo, I love him as a player and personality, and the injury looked pretty serious...

Of course she does! I learned a lot from Brazilians about accepting new people in a group. They can make strangers feel like friends very fast, when I experienced it for the first time I was touched. The Dutch are not that great at it you see..

This is one of the the best world cup ever, full of surprises and lots of fun spectacular goals been scored daily but the big questions is can brazil, france or belgium claim the trophy seeing the defending champions Germany dropping from the group stage of the competition? Should we be expecting an average country to win the 2018 world cup or will it the the host country Russia that will lift the trophy. Being an african my support goes to senegal wish them the best

Hi Exyle. I have watched bits and pieces and honestly don't give them much hope of going too far. I think there is going to be some shocks in the next round.

Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself @exyle. Looks like a lot of fun!
We've got big screens on the beach here to watch it, although I've not been there myself.
Watched the end of the Germany match on my son's phone yesterday as there was a big kerfuffle going on in the house and I just had to go and see what all the noise was about.
I thought they were now showing a black line to indicate off side but it turns out it was a crack in my son's phone screen. 😂 😂 😂

I started to become a big fan of Brazil from 1994 when Brazil was world champion and reinforced by romario, bebeto, cafu and ronaldo. Ronaldo was still very young. Hopefully Neymar and friends successfully become world champion in the year 2018. Warm greetings from Indonesia

I bet it if they're really going to forge more ahead with a step after the group stage 😂 why is because they are likely to meet up with Belgium or England immediately after the round of 16 but because you are cheering them I wish them well too but....................... 😂

@exyle, Firstly I give huge clap to Brazil for selected second round. With Nigerian match had some talent and finally Brazil team shown their attacking condition. Congrats Brazil.
I know Bianca was happy more than you. Without Brazil team don't like to watch final round. Currently Neymar played awesomely.
Cheers for celebration moment.....

Trully its all in the head- mindset.
Most people watch a game biasedly with their happiness tied only to the team they support.
However its always best to choose fun.
As its meant to be an entertainmemt sport and not a die hard affair.
Its no surprise as famous footballers of all time play for the fun and love of the game.
Cheers mate.
By the way my country got knocked out by argentina lol and now im supporting the germans hahaha.
