THE MAGICIAN Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 Was just thinking? being a big Leicester city fan and a big England fan if someone gave me a choice of Glory I really don't know who I would choose But having said that if it was my great club Leicester, that would be mine and my fellow Foxes fans glory to share and not the rest of the Country. Thoughts? I'm confused
Dames Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 Scoring a last minute winner in the world cup final or scoring a last minute winner in the FA cup final. Your choice.
davieG Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 Well as it's unlikely to happen so you don't have to choose, so dream about both.
mancunianfox Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 Scoring a last minute winner in the world cup final or scoring a last minute winner in the FA cup final.Your choice. As a player I would rather score the winner in the world cup or euro championship...its what everyone dreams of as a kid and you'd probably give everything to be able to do that and bring joy to so many. Having said that, as a supporter I would rather see Leicester win the FA cup than see England win a major tournament.
Thracian Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 It's no choice really - cos there's no realistic chance of England glory for as far ahead as I an see.
Dames Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 I would prefer to see Leicester lift the FA cup because it would be a day for Leicester fans only. Saying that i wouldn't mind England lifting the world cup in my lifetime.
THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 It's no choice really - cos there's no realistic chance of England glory for as far ahead as I an see. I'm much more passionate about my club, supporting a club is a weekly cycle, whereas England is just the odd match here and there and a tournament every 4 years. Club before Country
Vacamion Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 It depends what you meen by glory. Leicester have given me more good times than England ever have (I was born after 66), but these were "glories" (Promotions, Playoff Finals, League Cups, beating Forest/Derby/Cov/Villa) that were celebrated so much because we'd come through some rough times, and, amongst the big teams, these achievements wouldn't be celebrated as much. England only really have two competitions they compete for. For England, "Glory" = Winning one of them. As unlikely as it seems, Leicester have more chance of success than England. England have been perpetual tournament failures over the last 40 years, but Leicester in that time have had a couple of decent sides that, on their day, could beat anyone. So, CLUB, I think.
Bluefoxtim Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 CLUB, EASILY! When it comes down to it there is so much hype to England and they always fail. 90% of the time England aren't involved, even when they are, i'm not THAT bothered
Vacamion Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 Oh, and Club v Country can be taken TOO far. Last night's Austria -v- Scotland game saw Austrian fans booing some of their own players because they played for the "wrong" club side. Poor.
DB11 Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 I've always said I'd rather LCFC have glory than England... all my LCFC fans friends think I'm strange for it
C-man Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 LCFC, the only time it would be different is that all 11 England players were from Leicester
Dr The Singh Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 England have already won the biggest trophy they play for, leicester have not!! So I would prefer Leicester!!!

Actually you have and most of the Reply's on here have a good point. Club it is. Just looking forward to going Wembley tomorrow night and it got me thinking again, when I was in Germany last year for the World Cup the atmosphere and the whole occasion was brilliant and thought how good it would be to be dancing round the streets of Germany if England could have won the World Cup. But then I remember the Play-offs and Carling Cup wins and my trips into Europe watching Leicester City.
The Stig Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 Club, you see more of them. Country is ncie to support every now and then, e.g when a friendly comes round or a major tournament. Plus our country have a shite manager and players who aren't as good as everyone thinks. Whereas our club seem to have a bright future and things are finally looking up!
I8AM Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 CLUB, it's week in week out. England just fill those gaps in the summer months every other year.
Bryn Posted 31 May 2007 Posted 31 May 2007 Club over country every single time. I'd take England not qualifying for Euro 2008 if it meant we made the playoffs this season.
