Erm, perhaps because they were going to play the Germans?

Certainly, everyone I know was hoping for a Brazil win in the final, which
runs counter to the normal English instinct to support the underdog.

The US caused a divide in the office BTW, with about half cheering them
on due to their underdog status in football, and about half cheering their
opponents due to their percieved top-dog status in most other global
sports.

Of course, when they played Germany we all supported them ;-)
