Zidanes performance against Brazil at the 2006 World Cup is my favourite performance by any player in any match. Ever. He was magical that day.

That's true. It's as if he gave his team mates a chance to perform in the group stages and after watching them play miserably, he thought "**** it, Let me show them how it's done." He was absolutely out of this world and I'm actually struggling to think of a time when he wasn't magical.

Would you rather support your club more than your country?
Yes, of course.

I can smell it, those who doubted messi are eating their own words now, messi has led his country to the wc final and is the top scorer for Argentina with an assist to his credit. So do people still think messi will struggle in the PL, since pl, cl, and any national league is inferior to the world cup which is historically the hardest stage for a player and teams.
OK, Lionel, we get it.

You invest 9 months of every year and thousands of pounds in following your chosen club. Your country is an accident of birth.

A true football supporter would ALWAYS take club over country. My club belongs to me. England is just a bunch of players from enemy clubs.

That's up to the individual which they consider more important, surely? A Brazilian football-mad supporter might take country over club. That's their right to decide what matters to them.

I don't think it's fair say true supporters always put their club over their country but I personally would always put my club over the national side. You go and see your club team week after week and you have been brought up watching your side in your stadium since your first fell in love with the game. It's no surprise to that you have more love for your club side with the emotion you put into them year after year

Even if we accept your dubious assertion that not being that interested in a national team is 'unpatriotic' - so what?

You should support the country your born in, you should take pride in your national identity.

Why 'should' you?

Of course, that is making yet another large assumption that your 'national identity' is linked to 11 footballers.

I'm sure everyone posting on here does but you simply don't put the amount of time, effort and emotion into your national side as you do your club side. If England won the World Cup everyone would be ecstatic but your club side winning something means more to most purely because of everything you have put in to it as a fan.

Sums it up perfectly AC.

Only English fans prefer clubs to country because England never wins anything.

Wow, you follow me around from thread to thread just to make a snide comment. I'm very flattered.

For your information, I always support Italy, always, but if Italy are out the Dutch are my next team. I never support Germany and want whoever plays them to win. Hope that helps

I was already active in the thread, which would make me an unorthodox stalker.

The majority of clubs don't win anything either so your point is, typically, illogical.

Maybe I would care more if England were decent but at the end of the day I couldn't have cared less when they got knocked out of the World Cup (they weren't even my 'favourite' team), on the other hand if Swansea got relegated I would be absolutely gutted.

The difference in time I invest in my country and my club is astronomical, this world cup was probably the first time Id seen England play since the last one. I spend at least an hour a day reading or talking about Swansea, probably talk about England under an hour in a year.

I don't think this difference is because England don't win anything I think it's because I'm not at all interested in them

As someone who professes a love for Italy Xela, you really should know that club before country really isn't specific to England. Look at how Maradona tried to prey on the emotions of the Neapolitans in 1990.
