Something I've never quite wrapped my head around is why people don't want Liverpool players to play for England? Do you not support England? Do you not want the best for England? For me, personally, I want England to win the world cup waaaay more than Liverpool win the Premier League. It'd be an absolutely massive day for everyone. Imagine the nights out, everyone will be on the streets drunk as hell in the best mood of their lives. It'd be brilliant!

I want england to do well, but liverpool will always come 1st. And i'd rather be in the street celebrating with fellow livepool fans when we win a trophy than celebrating mediocrity with england.

Speechless.
How can anyone even say that?
Am not English myself but the scenes of Liverpool winning the league would be far more jubilant than England lifting the world cup
It sends shivers down my spine when i think of it
You do realise people from outside England support Liverpool! Why would we want them to play for England

Liverpool over England every time!
Brave man there Derbyshire
I love both but agree would rather see England win the world cup over Liverpool win the premiership. We are talking about our nation here, ordinary folk who aren't 24/7 fans would join in. Remember the Olympics? That X 100 if England won the WC, mass hysteria MUFC and LFC fans celebrating together etc etc. I always enjoy that coming together during the Euros and world cups would love to see so many fans happy armchair fans or otherwise. Not sure either will happen in my life time.
Derbyshire, Liverpool F.C. are the club that represents the city of Liverpool and it's people.
During the last few decades these people have been left to rot by numerous London centric establishment figures and parties.
Rightly or wrongly many associate the English national team with this. Hence the disinterest/dislike of the English national team.
It's also the reason, I feel, that there is such an affinity with our Celtic friends and neighbours.
{Ed007's Note - I'm still laughing at the 'remember the Olympics' part!!!}
I don't care if they play for England or any of their national teams all I hope is they don't get injured or bite someone so that they might miss games for us. Play but don't get injured
Sturridge has had about 6 injuries in his time at Liverpool and about 4 were on England duty. so would I rather have sturridge fit most of the time and spearheading our league campaign or would I rather he plays for England, gets injured and watch them play p*** poor football and get knocked out of every tournament after 3 games. you do the maths.
As an Englishman through and through i'd love to see Liverpool win the Premiership above all else

English and would prefer LFC to win the PL. More generally though, the last time England played an exciting brand of football was the Germany 5-1 match, and that was a one off. I don't care much about Englands success because England do not play good football. Also, I dislike our manager at the moment fairly intensely and find the long standing commitment to picking big names over high performers and letting the media into every aspect of the management of England to be a big of a disgrace and a detriment to the players and sport - how many times a year does Roy get into a slanging match in the papers with a club manager?
Ultimately, aside from being born in England, nothing attracts me to English football. Few people choose England (or any other country, not really anyway). We all chose LFC

Liverpool every time. Watching England play is painful. They haven't played well since Owen and Heskey smashed up Germany.
No contest, LFC all day long.
