The World Cup could not have come at a better time, it is going to be a welcoming distraction for us Reds following the misery that keeps getting piled on us. I know that many will probably support their own countries however I made up a schedule based on Liverpool caps to determine which countries Liverpool Fans should support. The list also includes former players as I believe they also should be counted for their contribution to L.F.C.
So here it is, England of course tops the list with a total of 1898 points (caps) followed by Spain, The Netherlands and Argentina.
My prediction is that for the first time since 1966 we will have a Liverpool player (or former player) who will be receiving a Winner’s medal on July 11th.
