Choosing A Soccer Team to Support

Even I have become aware that the World Cup of soccer is taking place now. I haven't actually started to watch it, but I might yet. I'm someone who likes to be able to cheer for a team, but I don't know anything at all about soccer (except that David Beckham is a big name). So I was interested to find a website called Who Should I Cheer For? Created by the World Development Movement, the site ranks each participating country by a variety of criteria. These include life expectancy, income inequality, military spending, health spending, carbon emissions, and more. I tend to cheer for the underdog, but if I can rouse myself to be more socially conscious during the World Cup, this is a site I'll be revisiting. Via Plep.
