Normally would be Stoke every time
However if someone offered me the win today or Stoke getting promoted next season Id take the England win today

If Stoke played against the USMNT, I'd pick Stoke every time, but I'd of course pick USMNT against England. There is a difference.

I enjoy the unity as a nation that comes with international tournaments. It's different for me though as I've not lived in (or near) Stoke in 20 years so I don't have the same buzz locally when Stoke are playing.

Stokie first Englishman second Briton third. As stoke aren’t playing but England are and the overpaid prima Donna’s stand a chance of winning something, I’m off down the pub with my lads and will cheer as loud as if it was stoke playing if we win. If we lose i will feel little emotion as I’m used to it as stoke have conditioned me over the 46 years of my life to cope with despondency. I will say though after the FA cup final I wasn’t upset I was proud of the club and all of us fans and it was something I thought would have hurt more. Any way can you do both and be happy yes as the chances of either England or Stoke winning are always slim I’ve got no preference over who wins something.

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??? It's a hypothetical discussion.

I find these ultimatums pointless. Who decided we can only have one? What's achieved? Can we not say both? Yes you can say both. It’s just a question, with no right or wrong answer Rice and chips. Interesting...

After tonight defeat I'm over it already. If it was Stoke in a Cup Final and lost in that manner I'd be devastated.
I'm more disappointed for the general happiness it would bring to the Country if they won.

Club football only for me.
Never been into international football, never cared about it.
I would have been happy for my family and friends who support England if they had won it but me personally never been arsed about their results

It's after the game now but without a doubt it is Stoke. I'll be over this tomorrow but when we lost the Fa cup final it took me weeks.

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. I'm amazed nobody has ever mentioned before

Both, I love my country and it's a different kind of feeling when we do well.
I'd actually like to see a team I support win one bloody major tournament in my lifetime.
Constant disappointment.

Wait, England were a team this tournament? I think that's the problem.. Stoke very very similar to be honest. Haven't seen a team in about 7 years +. probably never really seen a well gelled team.

It's hard to relate to the national team when your own club is not represented in any way.
I often wonder if the other 71 clubs outside the premier league are equally as arsed about the national side as us.
I guess you could chuck in a few of the lesser premier league teams too.
All I saw tonight was a bunch of overpaid players thinking they were better than they were, with a couple of exceptions who clearly have some wherewithal about them.
Players like Bellingham, kane, and rice have commanded some ridiculous transfer fees and wages but they look pretty average without the foreign superstars they play with at their respective clubs.
I hope I'm wrong and a better manager gets a tune out of them, but I didn't see that in them tonight.

Two petty well matched teams and a draw would have been fair. My disappointment lasted for about 5 minutes. I’m still pissed off over losing at home to Preston, last September.

Hardly bothered that England lost as it seems the players aren't that bothered either. Just watched the Copa America final and that's two teams really going for it with passionate players (Argentina won). When Stoke lose it ruins my weekend. So I don't get many decent weekends between August and May 😀

stoke every single time.
I used to go everywhere following england, always had a blast and loved the experience of it all with my mates.
but .... as a new generation of 'just eat' fans comes of age, but over reacts for everything publicly, and for online 'content', screaming like a chimps tea party, dancing, exaggerated emotions, i can't help but cringe.
yes it's disappointing to lose, but life goes on, all this weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth is too much. I don't know how they aren't eternally embarrassed by their actions?
also the 'wimbledon-isation' of football, with 'posh' celebrities such as the ed sheeran's of the world is turning the whole thing into a farce.
genuinely looking forwards to stoke's pre-season at places like stockport, and then for our season to properly begin.
