Question for the English & The Aussies

[Pothas]

Football world cup by miles over the cricket world cup. Ashes im not quite so sure, normally I would say Football world cup but i cant imagine anything better than last summers success, I hope that there will be in a few weeks time.

 

[Cloete]

World Cup by a MILE!!!

Simon and I spoke about this a week or so ago... We both agreed we would let England win the Ashes every time if we were to win the WC...

TOTALLY AGREE!!!

If it meant we won ONE World Cup and lost EVERY Ashes series played from hereafter I'd take it every time

 

[Neil Pickup]

I don't see myself screaming as loudly or for as long as I did when Kasper got out, no matter how ridiculous our WC final win is. Extending the screaming scale to Old Trafford last January, it's Ashes > ECFC > Football WC >>>>>>>>>>> Cricket WC.

 

[Blaze]

NZ will win both in the next 10 years...

I would prefer seeing the All Whites get to the world cup, than the All Blacks winning the rugby world cup...

 

[Sir Redman]

Ditto.

 

[pasag]

Quite disappointed here. The Ashes are the only things that matter.

 

[Simon]

Football World Cup >>>>>>>>>>>>>> anything else.

absolutely agree with that...

 

[Simon]

TOTALLY AGREE!!!

yeh that was the point we were making, the Ashes for the next 100 years would easily be traded for one WC title.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

As long as we beat the English in something, it doesn't matter

 

[Smudge]

We'll be doing well to win the Ashes...

 

[Blaze]

We'll be doing well to win the Ashes...

I meant the Cricket World Cup...

It all begins to fit into place....

You Aussies have signed a pact with the devil (throws salt over shoulder)

 

[GIMH]

Working on Neil's scale

TRFC>>>Footy World Cup>>>Ashes>>>>>>>>>>Cricket World Cup

Bit hard to answer when it doesn't directly apply to me.

But if you stuck a gun to my head and choose, I would go Ashes because I liked cricket well before I liked football, but a football World Cup win would be massive here, I mean I have never seen such a reaction/following towards football/soccer here in Australia, so it shows you how significant it was to qualify for it whereas in England it is more or less expected as a given, especially with some of the teams England have had in their qualifying pools for their last two major tournaments. I suppose World Cup qualification would still be expected (or at worst play off) if England were drawn with Spain and France or Italy for example?

 

[Pedro Delgado]

I'd put The Rams getting promoted/winning summat ahead of everything to be honest. Then World Cup, then Ashes. Cricket World Cup, meh.

Been there, done that.

Qualified ahead of Italy for 98 & Germany for 2002. We also had Turkey in our group for Euro 2004, who had finished 3rd at the previous WC.

I think he means with 2 of those three in England's qualification group.

 

[sledger]

football world cup for me.

 

[James90]

The Ashes.

 

[age_master]

Any cricket over any soccer for me.
