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?

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

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.

For me, club and country are dead level, and so for that matter are footy and cricket - but the only reason I can say that is of course because we don't have to choose, and I can wrap them up neatly and compartmentalise them. Having seen two league titles for the Rams, and comparing them to the footy WC in 1966, the WC was totally expected, and so was Derby's second league title. The first one though was utterly outrageous (even down to how we ended up winning it, when the players were on holiday in Majorca), and the thrill is with me still, just thinking about it I have shivers running up and down my spine and I can remember every detail as if it were yesterday. You know, reading that has made me think. I've been kidding myself, haven't I? DCFC every single time - there's nothing like it. |
