English fans - would you rather Eng win Euro2020 or you get “the call” right now for

your grail piece…

If you can’t have both. Pick 1

England win and to mark the occasion Rolex decides to release thousands of ‘hot’ watches into the UK market to help us Brits celebrate.

Presumably he’s talking about soccer — the most-watched sport in the world. It’s a tad bit more popular than watching 18-22 year olds play what amounts to amateur American football, which you are presumably a fan of based on your avatar.


But to each their own!

I’m a fan of American football, the NFL not so much college.
Having said that, when YOUR team wins, a helluva lot more people know about it compared to the small bubble that is rural American college football.

I'm Irish but born and live in London.

The real question is England to lose or get the call for a grail, which would you pick? Now that's a hard one.

The Welsh, Scottish, and Irish members of TRF will be in two minds about this one. Tough call.

Now that is a tough call.

Scenario 1: Grail watch and England win, so I have a dream watch on my wrist, but while wearing it, I have to listen to the English banging on about how 'football came home' forever more.
Scenario 2: No watch, but England lose.

I'm going 2.

I suppose it beats spending three hours watching a 60min game, with a load of men dressed in more armour than if they were going to war, throwing a ball forwards and catching it! But hey, at least there is always a winner...

Guess we will just have to agree to disagree on that one. I think The Simpsons summed up soccer nicely for Americans

Always shocking to see people suggest that the helmets and padding somehow make football a soft game, rather than adding tremendously to the violence of the game. Especially coming from fans of a game where players roll around like they’ve been shot after having a shoelace stepped on…

England fan since I can remember watching football so nearly 40 years of hurt... but I'd take the watch... the good feeling goes away after a short while... closest I had was Man Utd winning their first title in 26 years and then the Treble in 99... and they felt good but didn't last that long as I wasn't playing, now that would be different.

The Argentina-Colombia 1-1 game that eventually went to penalties was more ruthless and nerve-wracking than any NFL game I've watched and I've watched many.
