FIFA World Cup 2018: Our B-Townies are supporting THESE teams this year!

The 2018 Edition of the biggest football tournament on the planet, the FIFA World Cup is underway and the excitement for the same is, obviously, over the roof! And now, it turns out, we are not the only ones who are looking forward to seeing our favorite teams battle it out in Russia for the coveted golden trophy.

It is a well-known fact that many of our favorite Bollywood celebs are die-hard football fanatics and are pretty good at the sport themselves. So, are you wondering as to which celeb is backing which team in the on-going season?

Find out right here:

Ranbir Kapoor – Sports is a passion for me and I hope football becomes as famous in India as it is in Brazil and Argentina. I’m rooting for Argentina to win the FIFA World Cup this year.

John Abraham – I have a football club called the North-East United FC. We did not have a good season and hope to do better this year. As far as the World Cup goes, I wish I could say India but since that’s not happening, an exciting team I like and look out for is Germany. Will the Germans take the Cup home again? Well, this is the year of the underdog and I’d love to see an African nation lift the World Cup.

Abhishek Bachchan – In 2014, I cleared my schedule to fly off to Brazil to catch the semifinal match of the FIFA World Cup, Germany versus Brazil, with the scorecard reading 7–1. I have supported Brazil since 1982 and it is my father’s (Amitabh Bachchan is a hardcore Brazil supporter) love for the team that influenced my liking for the boys in sunny yellow.

Bobby Deol – I used to play football in school. Then I stopped because I broke my leg, but I still watch it. It’s hard to predict who will win but I hope it’s Brazil. I’m rooting for Neymar and the boys. Iceland are the underdogs this year.

Arjun Kapoor – I am cheering for Belgium this year, as well as England and Argentina. But France could prove to be the dark horse as the team has been consistently playing well. Yes, I am a football fanatic, and though I am right now on the road, I will make sure I catch the big matches.

Kartik Aaryan – I’ve been playing football since I was a child. I was the captain of my college football team and now I play for the All Stars Football Club. When work permits, I play every weekend as it keeps me fit and is a great stressbuster. I think Croatia is going to surprise everyone this year. They have brilliant players like Ivan Rakitic and Luca. I’m supporting Portugal because I’m a huge Cristiano Ronaldo fan and he’s in top form right now. His hattrick against Spain was superb. They too have a good chance of winning.
