After winning the African Cup of Nations in 2013, Nigeria comes into the World Cup boasting a stout, organized defense mixed with plenty attacking flair. Guest contributor Amobi Okugo makes the case that Nigeria has the best chance for success in Brazil of any African team.
World Cup: Second Teams
Second Teams: Bosnia and Herzegovina
Forget the game itself. Think of what the soccer can do. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, it can do something far larger than sports itself. That’s why, if you’re going to root for any team in the World Cup other than the U.S., PSP’s Dan Walsh thinks it’s these guys.
Second Teams: Costa Rica
For the next of our CONCACAF brethren at the World Cup, Barb Colligon takes us through her beloved Costa Rica.
Second Teams: England
Root for England? Tom Paine would be aghast! But that’s what one PSP writer wants you to do as we continue our World Cup series on teams to root for after the United States.
Second Teams: Mexico
No, this is not a misprint. If you’re looking for a second team to support at this summer’s World Cup, look no further than our neighbors to the south. PSP’s World Cup series continues.
Second Teams: Italy
Wait. You want us to root for Italy? Those cheaters? Oh yes, Scott Pugh does, and he makes a great case for it in PSP’s ongoing World Cup series focusing on teams you should cheer for after the United States.
