I was already rooting for the Netherlands once USA went down (my heritage), but seeing Brazil go down is always SO SWEET!

I spend a lot of time in South America, and the Brazil bandwagon is just insulting. I am so tired of everyone feeling like they have to root for Brazil just because they’ve won five World Cups. That and the whole “I have to root for every Latin country” crap.

EVERYONE in South America (and worldwide, for that matter - same issue in Thailand, etc., in my experience) jumps on the Brazil bandwagon, and all for one primary reason: they are usually the winners.

I hate that - really, really HATE that. It’s like how every foreigner buys a baseball hat, and of course it’s a Yankees hat — or a Lakers jersey (NBA), etc.
