I love Boro more than England, but I picked England, as a World Cup win is worth more than a promotion I think. I must have seen 4 boro promotions, and us in 5 finals? Compared to one Euro final. The international stuff is much more elusive, so trumps a promotion to me.
So for me, pick England, win in Qatar and then we would be top or second top of the Champo anyway at Crimbo, under our own steam, and in good stead for promotion.
But, a lot of my choice is also due to belief in the current crop of players, the manager, the chairman, and more importantly our finances heading back in the right direction again (compared to others). So I see boro's promotion as almost inevitable, with Wilder and the current crop which will likely get better before it gets worse.
If England don't win it this year, or at the next one, then I don't think we will get another good or fair chance soon, as the next two are Kane's last chance for me, and I don't see enough goals without him, or in who could replace him before we lose the crop of young talent we have. We need some good centre backs too though.

To be honest I want England to fail in qatar it's an absolute disgrace the tournament is going ahead. If they won it it would be tainted in my eyes. if it was another world cup then it would be a closer choice but I would still say Boro

I can guarantee you, the majority of the same people across the country who say "I couldn't care less about England ", will be the same people who are completely obsessed when England get to the latter stages of a tournament. Including on here.

I went England. Sorry if that offends anyone, but the Boro will be promoted far more often than England win the World Cup. I was a baby when we last won it, so it would be great to be able to say I'd seen us win the biggest prize in football, particularly with an ex-Boro manager and legend being the one to do it.

I was 6 when England won the world cup, I never watched it, apparently when I was asked by my dad why I wasn't watching I simply replied I support Boro not England. Can only have been to a handful of matches at that time but always felt the same. Will watch the big England games now but if there was something I felt more important wouldn't be fussed.

Boro all day. I got sucked into the euros when it was in and I’m sure the World Cup as I’m an England fan too butBoro getting beat hurts me much more than England getting beat and all I think about on a daily basis is the Boro. Would love nothing more than Boro getting promoted and if England manage to win the World Cup then fantastic.

No harm in enjoying following England in a major tournament but it's like Christmas, it's relevant for a short period of time. Boro are 365 days a year, 24/7.
A Boro promotion will have a much longer term affect on my enjoyment of the game than an England World Cup win. By far.

Why?
The Boro aren't in it. I love football as a sport but I have little time for the commercialised abomination that is the 21st-century professional game. Qatar is an abomination on steroids (probably literally).
