Probably posted before.
Anyway, if you could choose would you pick England to win the Euros or Stoke to win the FA Cup.
Talking to a shit fan and he’s club before country despite the size of their trophy cabinet so maybe the FA Cup isn’t a fair comparison for us. Still, where are you?
Happy to be directed to previous discussion.

The night before England actually appear in the European Championship Final?
Really?

Stoke every time.
I really want us to win tomorrow but don’t feel the same sense of excitement around England as I do the mighty, mighty Potters.

Both the same for me.
I find big games excruciating hard to watch.

Stoke all day long. I’d pick us to win the Autoglass trophy over England.
Don’t get me wrong, I really want England to win tomorrow but the night before excitement won’t be there, the day will be average and if we lose I’ll be over it by Monday morning.
If that happens to Stoke I’m miserable for a good week.
Come on England!!! It’s time to come home!!

Stoke every day even if it was the Autoglass trophy or whatever it’s called nowadays. I’ll be glad if England win tonight despite the fact I can’t stand the approach to the game but it will last a matter of seconds. Neither do I think it would be particularly good for the game. You want the best most exciting teams to win so that becomes the benchmark to copy. Sad state of affairs if teams start copying the likes of England or France. Generally speaking it’s been a pretty horrible dour tournament.

It’s ok to want both.
The only similarity really is the sport but beyond that the differences are huge.
Stoke is about your personal identity and a virtual ever present in your life.
England comes around every two years (qualifiers and nations league don’t usually count). But nothing brings the country together like the football team.
Personally I’d find it very hard to choose between the two. I might just edge towards Stoke but it’s very very close.

Personally I'd have chosen us surviving relegation over England winning. If we lose tonight I'll get over it in a matter of hours.

It’s Stoke for me although the thought of our national team actually winning a major trophy for the first time in my lifetime will be an odd feeling and I honestly think tears of joy shall be she’d if we pull it off tonight. COME ON ENGLAND✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

Either works for me. I’d just like to see a team I support actually win something for a change: Bills, Stoke, England. It’s been a slog 😂

Are we going a bit over the top with this one? It's not even the World Cup.
I mean I'd like England to win tonight but I'm perfectly fine with it if they don't.
It won't change my life one jot either way.
And I'll be glad not to have 10 minutes of every broadcast showing some idiots shouting 'It's coming home' in to the camera!

Stoke win the FA Cup, no.
The league? Different matter.
Tonight's game will be far more pain than pleasure, whatever the outcome.

I find these ultimatums pointless. Who decided we can only have one? What's achieved? Can we not say both?

England for me.
As a Stoke fan from Manchester I've only got my dad to share the joy with which is brilliant but even in 2008 after promotion we went home and no one gave a shit.
With England all my mates and everyone else will share the happiness and its nice sometimes to support the same team all your mates are supporting too.

I want England to win just so everyone can enjoy a shared experience.
To see the whole country go mad for a couple of hours will be great to see.
Of course, this being England, it will probably kick off whatever the result!

I really don’t understand the thought process behind the question? I can’t understand any circumstances where there is any need to choose? So, both???

Yup I don't by any means live for football but going to a Stoke game over the last couple of seasons has the capacity to ruin your whole weekend. I've found watching both teams has one thing in common it puts me off watching more football.

Stoke all day everyday, I'm very much proud to be English but have never understood how on a Saturday we fans can be spitting venom at the likes of Neville ,Beckham,Gerrard, Lampard,Rooney,Terry etc ( I'm going back a bit cuz we're not currently in the prem ) almost to violence if we could get near to them and then the following week they're the best thing since brown bread, I find it all false and since then couldn't really give one, plus all these armchair fans who come out of the woodwork with their car flags and footballs coming home drivel then disappear again till the next tournament (if you're such big football fans put your money into watching you local team every week at whatever level and help to keep them in business even Port Fail ouch ![O_o](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/cGxK1LQ3mbwGz59PPCrG.gif) ) rant over.

I wonder why the rest of the population think football fans are dangerously unhinged?
