    100% Barnsley. But I am so happy to be enjoying watching England again. I realise I’ve missed feeling pride in my national team.

    It’s such a hard choice that I find it hard to decide. I love the reds more than England there is no doubt, but the fact it’s a World Cup and all my mates who support various different clubs, it’s the one time we all go out wanting the same team to win. For me the World Cup is the biggest competition in football so it would just edge it maybe for me. When football grips the nation, there’s nothing like it

    I'm normally a club over country person, but this is massive for the country.

    World cup for me.

    I’d normally go club over country but the fa cup is an unfancied dinosaur of a competition which has been devalued by the teams at the top end not prioritising it anymore.

    The World Cup is the traditional pinnacle of the game - and remains so.

    World Cup all the way.

    Being realistic I've thought Belgium will win the World Cup from day 1.
    I can't see the English national team getting passed the Croatians tbh

    I’d take the World Cup over promotion at this moment, but FA Cup would be once in a lifetime.

    World Cup over FA cup for sure. World Cup is the ultimate and to see a local lad win it would be incredible. Someone wins the FA cup every season but we get one World Cup every 4 years and it’s so difficult to win.

    Love how people take a question like this so seriously like it matters or your decision is going to change the course of history.

    It’s ok, yer know, to like your team and your country and want them both to win as many games as they can.

    I’m loving the World Cup. I thought we were the dark horses before it started. Are we the best team in the comp no, but we went 3 at the back and changed the way we always play, which reminds me of Barnsley at the end of the 90s. That formation change got us promoted.

    I love our town and our club, but I also love being an Englishman. I’m proud of both.

    It’s coming home, You Reds.

    True but it's a London team. The national team stadium should have been built in the Midlands so it's closer for more people.

    Can't agree with that. I'd definitely sacrifice a dead rubber Barnsley game for winning the World Cup. Not that it makes any difference as this is purely hypothetical!
