Which Sporting Event would you most like to attend in 2006?

Personally, I think it's hands down the World Cup Finals in Germany but opinions will vary.

Of course, this a "fantasy" thing. Not whether you have the cash to do it!

The Mighty Chertsey 3XI's opening fixture against arch rivals Worcester Park. 'It's mate against mate - state against state!'

Highly doubt that it will greg...security will almost certainly be beefed up tenfold and the rest.

Unless England or another high profile European nation makes a first round exit, then we shouldn't have hooliganism. IMO, only England, Germany, Italy, France and Spain being gone in the first round will incite violence.

For me, it's one event that I've been dreaming for ever to go to. My dad was in England during Euro 96 and saw two games and calls it the best sporting atmosphere ever. I guess I inherit the wanting to be there type thing from him.

But the World Cup...by far the epitome of sports.

World Cup final if it was Germany vs. England....or even just England in the final. Other than that I'm with the Ashes.

The Ashes, and specifically the WACA test at which England retain the urn with three wins and two to play.

I've voted for the Ashes. However, if Colchester Utd can keep up their winning cup run in the FA Cup (unlikely against Everton or Chelsea in the next round) then it'd be great to see the Us in the FA Cup Final. That's blatantly not going to happen, however, so I'll stick with the Ashes.
