    England - for plenty of reasons, not least the spin off benefits for every Club in the country that are gained by the national side winning a major trophy. This is the World Cup, the most important, significant and celebrated competition in our sport.

    To put it in some perspective, I've seen England win 1 title in my 62 years and be persistently disappointing for most of them. I've seen Notts win a couple of titles, gain several promotions, wins at Wembley & in Italy etc - and we will doubtless win a few more during my lifetimeNx have plenty of opportunities. England will probably never get close to winning a W Cup again based on the last 88 years. So, absolutely no brainier IMO, national team (and country) has to come first, every time.

    Agreeing with Elite again mmmmmm

    This question has been asked on here during nearly all of the recent tournaments, the majority of responses are usually Notts and not England.

    However the further we progress I think a few more may go with England.

    This ^^ except I have never seen England win a major tournament or even reach a final, to do so this year would be amazing. Also when Notts are doing well I have a handful of people I can truly share it with, when England win at the World Cup you can celebrate it with just about every man and his dog.

    Tough question.
    Would England winning the world cup affect the Brexit end game? Have any bearing on the result of a second referendum if there was one. i.e. a lot of the nation going to the vote still on a high, thinking we're World footy champs, we don't need anyone!?

    If 'both' are an unacceptable answer... can I say that I'd be happy with either?

    i was also wondering: if a mystical figure could be brought to life, would people prefer the easter bunny or the tooth fairy?

    I'd definitely go with the tooth fairy.

    I've seen Notts finish as the 4th tier Championsr 3 times already. We shouldn't even be in Division 4. On that basis, the World Cup is a far bigger thing. Now if the choice was Notts top be 3rd tier champions, I would take that over the WC because it would mean the end of our sentence in the lower leagues.
