<p>Check out the Irish surnames in Australia's squad:</p>
<p><strong>Ryan</strong>, <strong>McGowan</strong>, <strong>McKay</strong> (this one could be Scottish ... not sure), <strong>Cahill</strong>, <strong>Halloran</strong></p>

<p>I live in England, but there is more likelihood that Hell will freeze over than of me ever supporting any English national team, whether it be football, rugby, cricket, pub darts, crown green bowling, or tiddlywinks. That may seem rather churlish of me but at least I haven't gone so far as to purchase an A.B.E. T-Shirt (Anyone But England)</p>

<p>I'm team USA! Although our coach doesn't seem to have much hope for us, I think we have a better team than he's giving us credit for. I think we'll put up a good fight but I think our chances would be better with Donovan in the game.</p>

<p>I remember in decades ago when the World Cup was hosted in NYC, got very enthused about the US team and the Irish team too, which I recall qualified also. I definitely will be rooting for the underdogs, starting with Team USA.</p>

<p>My country of residence is Ireland (BOOOOO!), but my country of birth is the <strong>U.S.A.</strong></p>
<p>I think we have a solid squad this time around, but the problem is that we're in what has been dubbed "The Group of Death." In other words, the competition we're facing in Germany, Portugal, and even Ghana is stiff. So, it'll be difficult to even make it out of the group stages. Possible, yes, but far from likely.
