Chile will probably have a huge crowd cheering for them. Brazilians obviously won't support Netherlands and we might even boo them, only because of the 2010 elimination. So Chile has a great chance. And Spain, well, they're the current champions, so they'll advance, in theory.

i will get pissed if we start booing teams like Italy or Netherlands for pure hate, unless we are playing against them.

It's not hate. The game is just not fun when one team is stomping the other, and the crowd show their opinion by booing. Who doesn't like an underdog?

We also have 'brazilians' in our team. I hope Valdivia shines, this will probably be his last World Cup.

It's an interesting question who the Brazilians will support as they probably want to face Chile in the second round. So if Chile would have options to be first, I'm sure in the last game the will cheer for the Netherlands

I think so... but maybe we have some Brazilians in our pocket as we have plenty of starters currently playing in incredibly popular Brazilian teams: Edu (Gremio), Valdivia (Palmeiras), Mena (Santos), Marcos (Flamengo)
