I think the world cup is the most special as it is 32 nations with each nation uniting behind each other. For example if you support a team then maybe only a small percentage will feel your happiness or pain but when it is a Country then everyone is on the same wavelength and the clubs and pubs are packed full of hardcore fans. :wipeee:

The World Cup because it unites nations, is in the summer, and only comes every four years (like Ant's missus).

It's weird cus if someone asked club or country I'd choose club everytime. But the world cup is sooo special, doesn't happen very often which makes it all the more enjoyable. It's nice to see everyone at the pub in the summer supporting England aswell... great stuff.

The Champions League, all day fucking long.

I love the Premiership, and not much beats the title chase come the business end of the season, that's if indeed there is one, but the CL is just truly special.

The best clubs in Europe meet each other on a special European NIGHT. The vibe and atmosphere at night matches is a special one and when you see games like the other night at Stamford Bridge, you feel privileged. Hopefully the Juventuses, Milans and Madrids become forces again though.

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

I know what you're saying Scholes, and i'd rather Arsenal win the CL than England the World CUp. But when you start going down pubs to watch games Scholesy you'll appreciate the world cup more.

I watched the England Argentina game down the pub, but let's be honest, no one down the pub has a clue about football.

Winner.

World Cup easily.

The CL is good but it doesn't give you at least two games every day for three weeks. You can just sit in or got to the pub and watch live football practically all day long. Of course depending on where it's at, sometimes you have day and night games, the best of both worlds. I agree with Scholes that matches at night are a bit better for some reason but the WC can give you that aswell as day matches.

Most of the time the coverage starts at around 2pm and doesn't stop until 11pm! It's just brilliant if you ask me.

The World Cup is the best. There's always something special about it. It's the most watched sporting competition world-wide (I think). It's where stars are born. In that competition, you can go from being remembered as a great player to one of the greatest players ever. If you have an amazing career, break all the records there are to break, win every domestic competition there is to win, but don't completely out-perform everybody at the WC and go on to get to the final, it doesn't matter what you do for the rest of your career, you'll never come close to being considered the greatest to ever play the game, you'll always be in that Di Stefano, George Best, Michel Platini, TH14 bracket. You'll be in that second tier of all-time greats to have played the game. However, if you do have an incredible career, And you go and set that tournament alight, you will be globally considered a full-on great. You'll be put alongside Maradona, Zidane, Pele & Cruyff.

For example, i'm sure most people on this forum know that in 86, Argentina won the WC and Maradona was the star. Now, can anybody tell me, without looking on google, who won the Champions League and who was the star of the tournament?

I love watching day games in the sun personally, and that's what you get at the world cup.

2002 was awesome, down the pub at 7AM, strolling through town to the next bar battered my midday. Great times.

Fair point KOL. I couldn't tell you who won it. I'd guess Steuea Bucharest, they won it in the 80's I think. I know Roma won it in '85 though!
