International or club football ?

Internationals for me. Have grown up with it, loved getting together with the whole family for the month. Good times :cool: Its something we savour and there’s no bigger atmosphere than a world cup match. Love it.
 
Club.
The English national team is a joke and should not be taken too seriously anyway. I see it as a hinderence to my clubs progress. The World Cup is also just a lottery and complete farce, the more I see of them the worse they get. The English team also do not play the sort of "style" of football to do well in a world cup (Lots of diving,cheating and play acting). I would much rather watch other better world class teams play football in internationals as a neutral.

Has anyone heard about the Spurs European Travel Ban?

Spurs fans have reportedly been banned from the away legs in this years UEFA cup campaign, apparently this is due to trouble on the ferries last time they were in Europe.


Someone tore off the sails and pushed a cannon overboard.

I'm more likely to see (a bit of) success with my club side than I am with the national team and I'm always delighted when Hearts do well but somehow I prefer watching internationals. There may be more pain, as a Scotland fan there almost always is, but the highs certainly make it worthwhile. I can generally say I'm proud of the atmosphere that is created by the fans even if the individual results aren't always anything to shout about.

I'd even go so far as to call supporting Scotland a good life lesson, you can't take it too seriously, when you win it is great but don't get carried away as it will come back and bite you and equally when you lose it isn't the end of the world - you just carry on regardless. :)
 
I know it's more than a little bit snobbish, but part-time "Let's get the St. George Cross out every two years" England fans wind me up something rotten, with their complete disinterest in anything else to do with football. It's like they're trying to show some misguided form of patriotism rather than actually follow the sport. Turn up, stick a flag on your car aerial, throw some insults at the Germans, expect us to win every game 10-0 because the media says we're great, and then go home and stop caring when we don't.

Sure, you get plenty of those following club football, but the majority are the ones that are actually following the games regularly, rather than the opposite as it is with England.

That, and no England game has (or probably ever will) come close to watching the CL final in a Highbury pub last year, never mind actually going to the games.
 
I think the thing with club football is that if your team is doing well, like winning the league, cup or CL/Uefa, is that you, as a fan, are part of a very select group of people. Where as supporting a country, your not.
