The
World Development Movement has come up with a '
handy tool' to help you decide who to root for during World Cup matches you couldn't otherwise care for and/or that your team are not involved in.
Many people will cheer for the underdog - Togo has never qualified before - or because the team contain players from their club team. Or perhaps you go for more political criteria, perhaps by not supporting countries involved in the war in Iraq or with a bad human rights record?
How about supporting the team that gives the most aid to poor countries? Perhaps cheering on the country that spends the most on healthcare? Or booing the country that spends the most on weapons?
Here at WDM we have produced this handy tool to help you choose who to shout for when your own team isn’t on the pitch. Just click below on the teams playing in the match you are about to watch and see how they score on ten different supportability criteria.

Hi morelli.
Since people naturally tend to support their place of birth, I think a much more informative question is 'Who would you most like to lose?'.
I would give my own opinion, but this sight might be monitored by mossad :)

The ones with most money? Yeh we already know the workings of the female mind.
The Ayatollahs want to ban women from football...it's not just the Ayatollahs!

MA - both an honour and a pleasure to have you grace these pages with your Mesopotamian presence.
Smartie - so not pandering to stereotypes then?! (Welcome by the way).
It's a pleasure and honour to honour and pleasure.
Actually, I come here quite often but rarely add to the already exquisite pearls, since it would be like putting lipstick on the Mona Lisa...right, 'nuff mujamalat lest someone mistake me for a persian.
Anyway, nice to know someone appreciates my Messedupotamian presence.

Those boys always did have a "superior culture"...
Hahaha! 'Only Smarties have the answer'.
Mossad is here, and we are watching you MA.
