Club. We lose the meaningful stuff  and I’m hurt in a way that friends and family can’t comprehend. England lose and I’m disappointed (and only marginally more so than if the same happens to the other home nations and ROI).

Always been club for me, I have never taken any interest in the national team but have to say that this bunch are a likeable lot with a great man as manager.

Too many Yorkshiremen in the team to really like them though.

It's club for me, unfortunately.

Villa win promotion vs England win World Cup - Villa
Villa win league vs England win World Cup - Villa
Villa win FA Cup game vs England win World Cup - Villa

Club every time but normally let down frequently by both.

England , nah , cant stand all these tossers getting pissed out of the skulls down the pub , singing and talking through the bloody match . They support teams I hate normally like Manure and Liverpoo and woman jumping on the bandwagon who know fuck all , yes we did win it in 66 you know.

And there was me starting to question if I was a bit anti-social to have watched the games at home, mostly alone and enjoyed almost every bloody minute of it. Thank you, Sir, you've captured every reason why I hate watching the World Cup with that lot.

Spotters badge for the women too. I bet our knowledgeable female lot on here get even more annoyed with the bi-annual football love-in.

This is the first time in decades that I have felt any sense of attachment to an England team, just got off the phone to a colleague where 90% of the conversation was about the game tonight and we are both feeling nervous about it. I put the change down to Southgate getting rid of the baggage of the past and a group of players who seem personable and behave as if they understand what it can mean to the country and amid all the gloom and negativity of Brexit to see a bunch of players that look like a representation of modern England makes it all the more refreshing.

The answer to the question is still Villa though.

The Villa every time.
I still haven't watched a  full game this World Cup, England playing or not...but I have got my tickets for the Villa's pre-season friendlies.
However, I will be watching the game tonight in my local and would love it if England win.

Ok, I'll buck the trend.

England winning the World Cup would be huge, simply because it's the biggest tournament in world football and I've never seen us win it.

And for the second of those reasons I equate it to seeing Villa win the FA Cup.

So out of those two I'd struggle to decide but if I had to choose England winning the World Cup over Villa winning anything other than the FA Cup then for me it would be the World Cup every time.

I'm similar. Villa winning the FA Cup and England winning the world cup are roughly equivalent, and both the things I'd like to see over anything else.

Less bothered about the European Championships, but would still put it on par with Villa winning the league cup.

I'd probably go along with that.

Club 100%

It's not even close

I'd like us to win tonight and Sunday but it will be so over the top especially from those who don't really follow football normally

English by birth. Villa by the grace of God.

Or some other similar nonsense.
