Would You Rather: Club Win the League? Or Country Win the World Cup?

By: Daryl | October 12th, 2009

Two new things on The Offside. First of all, Daily Dose will no longer be the last post of the day. We’ll still do the Daily Dose obviously, because it’s an Offside institution. But we’ll also be adding an extra post afterwards to finish the day and take us through the night. Hopefully a post like this one, which isn’t particularly newsy but has the potential to start a bit of discussion.

Second of all, allow me to introduce a new feature. It’s called Would You Rather? It’s a bit like Soundoff, where we want your opinion. Except there are only two options and we’re asking you to choose.

For the inaugural Would you Rather?, a classic problem faced by players and managers everywhere, but very rarely by fans: Club vs Country.

Here’s the question. If only one of the following could happen – you can’t have both – then which would you prefer:

a) Your club team wins the league title? or
b) Your national team wins the World Cup?

You can have one or the other. You can’t have both. Which would you prefer?

  World cup world cup world cup

  Its simple insane

  Poland were hosts to 2 major european tournaments recently (mens bball and womens volleyball) and won the mens european championship on top of that only this year and the feeling cannot be compared to anything

  That’s why champions league means much less than world cup I think

  I’m a pretty huge club fan but only poland games make me feel special, make my skin shiver, etc. Only singing the national anthem with 20-50 thousand other fans makes me feel invincible

  The World Cup… but since it won’t happen in my lifetime, I’ll settle for being able to watch a Futsal match.

  By the way… Brazil vs Hungary (Futsal Friendly) on PFC this Monday.

  World Cup for me too.
  But then we are asking this question on a forum for a website about the World Cup, and international football in general so it’s hardly surprising that most of us choose the World Cup. Ask the same thing on a Serie A forum, or a Premier League forum and the response would be rather different.
  For me, (Newcastle United fan by the way) I have always loved international football – even my subbuteo was the World Cup edition! – and no matter how big a domestic league the Champions League gets, and no matter how much higher in quality it is than international football, nothing for me can match the excitement, drama, passion and that sickness in the stomach feeling that a World Cup provides.

  Country hands down. The world cup only comes around every 4 years.. the club can rack up championships during the 3 year wc break.

  with no doubt win the world cup!!!! theres always good chances to win a league cup,every 6 months or at least every year you have the oportunity but conquest the world cup is only every 4 years..plus if u are champion of the league the prestige of the club remain while you are champion,perhaps those 6 to 12 months,as a champion of the world not only u have prestige for 4 years but for the rest of history…last but no least lets just SUPOSE there are 100,000 football players around the world in 20 years probably at least 20 to 30 thousand of them have been league champs…probably more…in 20 years i can count only 138 players as champion of the world…so what do u think now??

  I would say country. But I would think someone from Brazil, Italy, Argentina or Germany might say differently based on their club allegience. THose countries have won several WC’s so if their club has never won then they might have a different opinion.
