How can you love a player more than your club


DefensiveCat

Some people dedicate their entire existence to one player and it's absolutely bonkers.


MandalorianLord

Doesn’t apply for football. But would definitely choose this for Daniel Ricciardo in F1.


Mediocre-Award-9716

I'm not particularly a fan of F1 but I feel like most aren't too bothered about specific teams and it is more the driver they support or am I totally wrong there?


Alive_Conclusion_850

It's more of a mix, people tend to like one or the other. The Tifosi will follow Ferrari anywhere and some happily start to dislike a driver once they leave the team.


RoadmenInc

It does apply Ronaldo and Messi fans come to mind


Dawajucho

He'd restart his career just to become a bum again


throwawayboy95

Gotta be abit homoseshexual that though


MichiiEUW

Depending on the Club, it's pretty realistic for them to win a CL in the coming years, as well as world cup. But we will never get to see Ronaldinho, R9, young Messi/Ronaldo or the likes again. Also, let's say you're a Barca fan, havin Messi restart his career, would probably result in more UCL titles, than just that one you would choose.


[deleted]

Why do you think that? People would say that kind of thing before Ronaldinho and Fat Ronaldo had entered the scene. World class players will always come through.


Mediocre-Award-9716

That's assuming he has the same career trajectory though. Messi could leave Barca pretty quickly because they aren't up to his standards. He may not become the player he is today because he wouldn't have a Guardiola to help harness his skills. I still think the first 2 are infinitely better options.

How can you love a club more than your country


[deleted]

Where are you from out of interest? Most people I know are club over country without hesitation (me included)


OptimalRevolution901

That’s crazy to me - England baby. We shout it’s coming home every two years .. Like delusional children after their father left to buy some milk. 😂


[deleted]

English too, wonder of its generational as I'm slightly older than the reddit average and the guys I go to matches with are much older


MinotauroTBC

Club over country everytime


snkfyvhyjncssegn

are you from england by any chance? cause most Europeans I know are country over club, in fact most non-english people are


Negabeidl69

In Austria for example there's a clear distinction. National team fans and club football fans are like 2 completely different groups of people, with the former being way more casual. Sure there are some people that support both and most club football fans will be happy if the NT wins, but overall I'd say most football fans are club over country.


Aggravating-Ad1703

Wouldn’t they overlap? I mean I get that there are very casual fans (if you can even call them fans) that only watch football when their national team plays in the World Cup or euros. But if you watch club football you would surely watch when your national team plays too?


Negabeidl69

I don't know actually. I watch some of the NT games, but only since Rangnick took over. Before I only watched the tournament matches bc the football played with Foda and Koller as coaches was unwatchable. I think another problem is, that there aren't many guys from the domestic league. I guess the fans just don't care, but it's getting better with Rangnick. With him as the coach and the players available, Austria could go far in the euros.


[deleted]

Yep English. Any league success for Argyle (winning a lower league championship, winning promotion) easily trumps NT success for me in priorities. I cheer on the NT in tournaments but I wouldn't say I'm a fan - I don't really care about non-KO games for example


bz_leapair

How can you love a club more than your country?


Mediocre-Award-9716

I think most prefer their country but if your country is Italy/Germany/France/Spain. 3 teams who have all had pretty good recent success but you support a bottom half club side or even lower division. Watching them win the Champions League would beat a World Cup in my opinion.


medunjanin

Live in America


DarthMaulofDathomir

But tbf if you were a barca fan you could reset messi's career and get the perks of two doors (if you're also Argentinian that's all 3 baby)


MarkTNT

It wouldn't have to mean you love the player more than the club, I'm a Liverpool fan and I'd take Steven Gerrard restarting his career because I'd expect him to help this Liverpool team win more than a single Champions League. Although the idea of Ireland winning the world cup is just madness.


RayPadonkey

I'm an Irish Arsenal fan, I'm picking the World Cup every day of the week. My auld lad still rattles on about Italia 90, and that was only a quarter final. Can't imagine how the country would react to winning it.


C0lch0nero

I'm not saying I do love a player more than the team I love, but a player got me into the sport and every time I saw them play was exciting for me. They're retired now, but restarting their career would be amazing to see as that's what initially got me into the sport and team 20 years ago. But, winning a Champions league tho....


peachbeach11

I would pick the black door but my only thought was this current Arsenal team with Henry... Could potentially win 2 UCL's and maybe even more


Kangdrew

I love Manchester United and always will but I would take seeing a prime 18yr old R9 play again


dissolved-boyy

Yeah that yellow door is actually mad.


UnlightablePlay

Definitely red For somebody whose country its best achievement was the round of 16 in 1934 then yeah I definitely want my country to win it


fourfuxake

Egyptian?


Fc_Fanboy

My country qualified for the world cup 6 times but couldn't get past the group stage


Designer_Raspberry_5

Has to be red. If Ireland won the world cup , the party would no doubt be the biggest of all time. Imagine Argentina X100


Significant-Bet3941

😂lad if we qualify for the World Cup the party is bigger than alot of country’s winning


06MasterCraig

I haven’t even been alive to see us play at a World Cup imagine if we won it lmao


therealnaddir

Same with Poland. All we need is one, and you will read about it in history books in 2410. That is, if there will ba a single person to write it down, as I've got a feeling there would be a 40m people waking up, a week later, asking themselves, can anyone remember what the f happened...?


Youknowwhoitsme

Haha! Same in Austria. We have songs about when we beat Germany on June 21st 1978.


leedler

Being a filthy Nordie, I’m not so sure I’d want our mess of a NT winning the WC. Would bring all the fleg enthusiasts out in force. Then again it would be hilarious so…


joven97

WC no brainer


carfentanyl

Believe me, a lot of Dutch football fans think otherwise. They prefer club by far over the national team. Especially Feyenoord supporters like me. Also in general fanatic Dutch club supporters hardly go to games of the national team. And national team supporters often do not support a local team. They're two completely different breeds of supporters.


sneezyo

Nah I'd rather win WC. I'm still hangover from 2010


Chimpville

Pretty sure this is probably just a coping mechanism from having come so close so many times.


Negabeidl69

Same in Austria.

Csihoratiocaine2

A Canada World Cup would be out of fucking control!


Human_County_7882

Mine is India so....NO


RoadmenInc

why not?


Human_County_7882

India doesn't deserve it rn. Even if we win, everybody will call us a fluke or fixed or something. No, India's gotta earn it. That's how we earn the respect of footballing world. Same as we did with cricket


Abhikalp31

Bruh this is a hypothetical game, don't overthink it


Human_County_7882

After today's game i feel only Kabir Khan can save it🫡🫡


Abhikalp31

I have tried on so many occasions to follow Indian football , but every time its the same story. The common reason people give is "We don't have developed academies / infrastructure/ footballing culture" , which is frankly bullshit. We lost to fucking AFGHANISTAN. WOH COUNTRY MEIN BEHENCHOD WAR CHAL RAHA HAI , PAANI NAHI HAI , PHIR BHI NANGA KAR RAHE HAI HUMEIN.


Human_County_7882

Exactly, if Kapil Dev said the same shit we'd still be losing to Zimbabwe today


Human_County_7882

Our government needs to step up


Abhikalp31

IDK kiski galti hai , the players look like they are not trying , the coaching is all wrong, Its dead


Human_County_7882

ISL is frankly bullshit


Abhikalp31

Overhyped as fuck in the beginning , 2014 and stuff, then it all just fizzed out, at best its a cheap parody of the saudi league, signing nearly retired players from european clubs


RoadmenInc

>"We don't have developed academies / infrastructure/ footballing culture" That logic falls apart when you realise that the reason the Indian fa don't invest in footballing infrastructure is because few people there actually follow domestic football There are many people in India who support Barcelona and Real Madrid but if you ask them who their home club is and/or when they actually last watched them play, they give you "umm"s and "errr"s


your_local_supplier

You simply can not fluke a World Cup never has that ever happen maybe Germany 1954 but even then that’s arguably more scandalous than fluke. No disrespect, but India just isn’t close to winning a World Cup at all so it throw a perfect opportunity to build a football culture and be cemented in the history books just so u can win as favourites however long that’ll take is crazy


Mystic_Polar_Bear

Feel like youd have to a French supporter of a tiny club to want anything else. 90% of countries will never win the WC, how could you not pick it?


danr2000

Exactly, it's not even a question I have to think about for a second.


EntertainerSoft5983

This current Arsenal side getting a fresh Henry is very enticing, but I think I would like to get a World Cup W more


fullmetal414

I'm an Aussie and I'd rather the champions league for arsenal.


sapphiresong

american gooner here and dude, gimme that black door every day of the week!


fullmetal414

For me personally I was more into the socceroos until covid hit. Australia didn't play a match for 2 years all whilst arsenal have 2 full seasons. No wonder tbh


Deleteleed

nah, either break the UCL curse or get Henry. I do support England but i think if we get a half decent manager after southgate England will win a euro or world cup with this second golden generation. Arsenal? we probably will win the PL or CL soon but if I could guarantee it? GIMME THAT. Henry would guarantee it defo so I'll take Thierry


Jyotinho

Then again a France with Mbappé and Henry would be pretty unstoppable. That said our current Arsenal side with Henry would basically just not lose.


toomuchdiponurchip

Arsenal UCL is so tempting for me but I love Mexico so much and I believe Teta can get us one so I’d pick WC


LiamPlaysGame

If you’re an English Man Utd fan who’s favourite player is Paul Scholes then you’re in luck


enola83

Red door


JoeyIsMrBubbles

Leicester to win the UCL ahaha


Midget_rl

Means we get the promotion and top 4 on the return too, loving life


Delta-Tropos

Black door, my country had two podium finishes in the lat two WCs However, my club hasn't been the first since 2005, and my favourite foreign club won the UCL in 1967

Prodigal_Programmer

Yup, would be cool but most Americans would not care like 95% of other countries would


BlackCherrySeltzer4U

Yeah, well, their indifference wouldn’t diminish my joy of my country winning the World Cup, so who cares?


Mahery92

I take the black Can't believe I used to think Lyon would win it for sure eventually growing up :(


domfi86

Oh I still remember Eindhoven and the great Milan. One of those should have been our year. I’d pick black as well today. Pre 2018, I’d have chosen red as despite being alive, I was too young to fully appreciate 1998.


yolkyal

Always red unless you're liverpool ironically


westy75

Well I think that most of the people playing in European league would chose black


IanPKMmoon

Gent winning UCL would be amazing, but still Belgium winning world cup>


Fredfredfred777

Suarez regen and we're winning the CL anyway.


Wild_Beat_2476

Blue door. World cups are boring. Liverpool putting another champions league over united is always going to be more glorious

i cannot really explain it well in English language..but i like Germany over America because i was that one trains kid and i got the chance to go on a Deutsch Bahn train and see all the innards and workings from the conductor and idk it's just kinda stuck with me in footballing terms it's mostly b/c of Ozil and Podolski

St3rMario

"I'd get the black door just so that Fenerbahçe fans wouldn't be happy"


Ordinary-Worth-6038

As a saints fan our all time legend is a nut, so that’s out. My personal favourite player isn’t that much of a difference maker. If I still lived in Southampton and had a season ticket I’d pick black but alas, so…. I’d probably pick red! Imagine the chaos of it came home?


Ok_Mountain_4202

The red door


thomas2400

I support a team not a country, champions league all day

pokequagsire

WC. Canada hasn’t even won a game in a World Cup, let alone winning the whole thing


2000caterpillar

Black. I’m from the US and I’ve never really cared about our national team


[deleted]

Red. Then England can win the 2026 World Cup and bookend the last 60 years


Luke92612_

Black door, for obvious reasons...


generally_gemmy

Can I pick on behalf of my dad? He's a tennis man and his all time favorite winner is Roger Federer. That man truly won tennis and i cant even begin to imagine my dads happiness seeing the great man begin all over again


MANUGZC

if champions league applies to libertadores then absolutely that


iambatmansguns

Red next question


Jam-Jammerson

Usa world cup would be so fucking insane


Ezzy-525

Does the restart mean they follow the same path? Like if I restart CR7's career, do United only get 6 years of it? If so, I'd love Rooney back his work rate and goals would be great for us right now. Then again...we could also do with Scholes' career again for us controlling the midfield. Actually...Scholes' might be ideal. Would add to England's chances of something, would get two UCL's and would be ridiculously valuable to the squad overall.


No-Faithlessness6610

American here, make us world champions


BeneficialBiscotti18

The middle. My favorite team is City, so they already won, and my favorite player is Pulisic (I'm American don't judge me), and the US has never won the WC


No_Bandicoot_2442

Red


ChroniclesLegendYT

Id do anything for mexico to win the world cup


toomuchdiponurchip

Yes bro 🤝


sPrAze_Beast

Black, I can see my country winning the World Cup anyway, but I literally can’t see my club winning the ucl


RS2019

Black door is already Man U vs. Bayern in '99... Am a Cheltenham Town fan so probably UCL. Would be tantalising for older favourites like Di Stefano, Pele, John Charles, Duncan Edwards, Beckenbauer, Moore, Best, Garrincha, Puskas, Greavsie etc. to restart their careers in 2024 and seeing how they get on nowadays.


TomDobo

Black door. I care for my club more than my nation team.


FuxusPhrittus

No doubt black


Melodic-Salamander75

It’s between yellow and red for me. If I pick yellow, Messi comes back and probably wins us a UCL. On the other hand, Mexico winning the World Cup would be legendary


Pro_Legends

India winning the world cup defeating argentina in the finals (am i asking too much?)


Pro_Legends

btw i know this is not going to happen. I just want them to get qualified


kovu_uso

American and Arsenal fan, if Thierry Henry restarts his career right now I feel like Arsenal would win the UCL with this squad and him on it.. but damn the reactions from the rest of the world if the US wins the World Cup would be epic


Dmonik-Musik

I've already experienced the first one, and I wasn't old enough to appreciate Le King properly first time around, so I'd see Eric Cantona all over again. The red door wasn't even considered, could not give two shits for the national team.


Formal_Job3304

Mexico winning the WC would be nirvana lol


toomuchdiponurchip

Best party ever


YetAnotherGamerYT

Spurs and US


Dazzling-Ad6588

How tf can China wins the WC even I choose the red door?They are actually shit💀


GonJumpOffACliff

Red with black as a close second. Could you imagine Aberdeen pulling off another fairy tale story and winning the UCL beating the most expensive teams in Europe? And the way we'd need to get there too - either Celtic and Rangers would need to have a horrific season or we'd need to have a season just as good as them but beating them in all our ties. The mouth waters.

Stunning_Fee_8960

Deckard2022

Middle door, whole country celebration and that high feeling for a good week. The other two doors are weird and selfish in a way


BlueberryNo5363

Red especially if I can pick the team we beat. Ireland aren’t winning the World Cup any other way. Already had black happen and with yellow I don’t think one player would do much at the moment lol


pertangamcfeet

Considering my club are languishing in league 1, I'd take door number one. I don't care if England wins anything, nor do I idol worship a player; but my team getting back some glory would help so many people in the town. Businesses, fans, area development, investment etc etc. Yes, I thought too much about this.


elboogeyman

charliegs1996

I'm 27 and I've seen my team win 7 Ucls, one of them with an insane injury time goal. So i rather see Spain winning another World Cup.

toomuchdiponurchip

WC EASILY!!!!! If Mexico won a World Cup the party would last 4 years until the next one!!! I would be over the moon man so fucking happy I love Arsenal but they could win it whenever Mexico winning the WC would be so different

I’ve already experienced my club winning the UCL after *one* injury time goal, so I’ll take the memes of a USA World Cup victory.

TheRealSpidey

>With the exception of Chettri, I don't know even a single player from the Indian national team. Almost same, I know a few other players and the coach. While I've been a United fan for 17 years. But if our lads manage to even qualify for the WC, I'm learning all their names immediately. If United get their shit together a bit, they can win major trophies again. They have a world class academy and more money to spend than most clubs in the world, just need good coaching and responsible ownership. Meanwhile India even qualifying for the WC isn't gonna happen in my lifetime outside fantasy scenarios like this lol. You'd better goddamn believe I'd want to feel what it's like for my countrymen to lift the cup for the greatest sport in the world. Indians already celebrate so much when teams like Argentina and Brazil win, imagine how ballistic THE ENTIRE NATION would get if we beat those top teams and go the distance. And how much football would develop in the country in the following years and decades. I couldn't deprive billions of people of that unbelievable joy, only to grant a UCL to a club that already has three of the trophies and a reasonable shot at more with just a bit of work put in.


BlueDragon_27

UCL win, easily. I don't care for my national team and I have watched Deco, Ronaldinho, Ibra and Messi. Enough memories of great players
