THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

I think you're right. If this was a play-off final tomorrow and the next major international tournament was a couple of years away, I expect most would vote club.

Oh agreed. I'd also say that because Dons have previously been promoted to the Championship whereas England have never won the Euros, or a tournament in my lifetime, the prospect of that is even bigger. Dons getting promoted to the Prem/winning the FA Cup again would definitely sway me

In this particular moment... England, just.

The main reason is that I feel a stronger attachment to the current England team than the current Dons team. How many of our probable XI on the opening day have I actually seen play live? Lewington and Kasumu? There's been so much change since I last went to a Dons game in February 2020 that I don't feel like I know many of them, as players or people.

With the England team it's very different. In most cases I've watched these players for several years. Because they have a bigger platform, more coverage, and more opportunities to speak on a range of issues, I feel like I know the England team better, and I like what I see. Southgate, Sterling, Henderson, Rashford, Kane, the list could go on, are such hugely impressive people who stand up for the sort of things I think are important, and I'd love to see them succeed.

You might as well said “Who do you love more, your Mum or Dad?”

England and Dons are both my teams, it’s impossible to separate them really, but on this occasion I would have to side with England, Dons will get the chance of promotion every season, finals of major tournaments are a much rarer beast

I’ve lived in England longer than I’ve lived in MK.

I've gone England. I'm not going to bore anyone with my feelings on the Scottish national team. It's easy to find on here if you're interested. But I'm guessing that you're not.

Anyhow. After an incredibly dull start, I'm actually enjoying watching England play now. Unfortunately I'm also enjoying Italy. In actual fact I'm enjoying Italy far more. They're a joy to watch at the minute. And are obviously having the time of their lives. But I genuinely want England to win, if only to piss all the Tartan Army off.

I've spent the last couple of days blocking twats on twitter who've been constantly posting shite about how much they hate England. One in particular. Known to some of us on here. A keen cyclist no less. Even to this day I find is wierd that someone who's lived the majority of their lives in this country can hate it so much.

So if nothing else, I hope England win if it's only to piss Sandy off.

I'm also slightly disillusioned with The Dons at the minute. I always get this way towards the end of the season, but this year it's not passing. Don't really know why if I'm being honest. I've already mentioned that I've tried to reassess my life recently, and so far it's working. I'm enjoying not having Dons in my life these days. So we'll see what happens when the season kicks off. But I'm actually not looking forward to the season restarting.

Kunt of a question this. And one I feel ashamed for edging internationally.

I said to my mate when we were 2-1 down to Croatia in 2018 that I'd swap promotion for England winning the World Cup. We were in a worse place as a club then... But right now, promotion for Dons could be huge with the way we are as a club atm.

Its a tough one. Make my mind up for me.

England for me - for the significance it will have for so many. Euro 2021 may never be forgotten. A promotion to the Championship, while it would be awesome, would be less of a "where were you when..." moment.

Had to go England. Last time we won anything was just after I was born, so I have been waiting a bloody long time for this opportunity. I can wait another year for Dons to be promoted.
