meast Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Having lost my passion for top level football and the England team, I still want them to win the Euros, I'm still an England fan at heart, I just aren't as emotionally attached to them anymore. On the other hand, England winning the RLWC will give me immense pride and it will hopefully give the entire sport a kick up the backside, especially if the women do well too, although some on here believe no other forms of RL should exists beyond men's professional! So I'd like them both to win , but I'd have a lot more pride and emotional attachment to any of the national RL teams being successful.

A RLWC win would be papering over cracks, to say the least. That's the spirit Huddersfield Giants Supporters Association Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Ideally both, but if I have to choose, there's no choice but the RWC.

Irish Saint Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Great patriotism here from England supporters. Like reporters from the tabloids before every major international football competition.... then reality strikes. Remember, when the union WC last held in England well inmho the Rugby League team will not be as bad.. but for me they aren't reaching the final perhaps not even the semi-final. Best chance is that October and November are unusually bitterly cold. Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

Whippet13 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 RLWC above any other sporting event, including my team winning the league. As for professional football, indifferent to it, I place it marginally above Rugby Union. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylya Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Not only do I prefer RLWC (and even better a full house of men's, women's & wheelchair...), but if I knew England were going to win the RLWC, I'd actually hope for a disappointing Euros for the football team, so that the RLWC win didn't get overshadowed.

I don't think it would overshadow it personally, I think it would help bring eyes to it. Some people will think "Not only have we won the Euros, we've also won..." but also "Who cares if we won... We still haven't won anything in football." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. I don’t see Tonga winning it. I think they are better chance than England though. I reckon the England squad would be in danger of making the semis if it wasn’t held in England.

JohnM Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 For me it's not either/or. It's both. If the comps were running concurrently, then RLWC. Unless the concurrent games were major England soccer game vs England minor RL game, in which case England soccer first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
