since world cup means just about zilch to me I'll substitute tix to the superbowl with the patriots playing vs Tix to a Prince concert..... dang...that's tougher than I thought it would be...ugh...I don't think I can pick.

Patriots.

if it were anyother team...Prince

You need to take time out to get into this game ......I bet my car you'll love it just as much as US football .....maybe more

It's the largest sporting event in the world - FACT everyone will be watching it ....it's sad that the US don't join in more , you've got a good football/soccer team!

sure...the last thing I need is another sport in my life. I'm really not that into sports to begin with...if it's the patriots, celtics redsox or bruins that's about all I can handle.

Ah ....you see it's not a sport "football" is life, drama, a play, a good book, a play.....

The phrase "The Beautiful Game" is a synonym for European football. The Brazilian Portuguese expression Joga Bonito (to "play beautifully") parallels this phrase.

Shorty for the good of your health please get into Soccer/Football - World Cup ...You will fall in love with it...

US football is too Technical, Stop start, it's just a game .....Football is life, sex, passion....

Trust me on this once you watch the World Cup your eyes will be opened to a new life....

I'm English, and I don't care much for football. I'd actually laugh if the US beat England this weekend just to see everyone bitch and complain.

I want Brazil or Argentina to win.

suddenly we're all listening to hot summer lol!

No doubt, World Cup Final

This'll test your loyalty! - if your country made it to the world cup final [USA purple heads really need to stretch your imaginations here!!] and you were offered a ticket to see Mr. P on the same night which would you choose!.

In my case it is England [although my £ is firmly on Argentina to win it!!] so the football final would win by a mile, it's once every 4 years, have seen P 30+ times so there's no competition!.

P.S. I really do think that the USA will give England a really tough time on Saturday night - my money is on a draw.

One I can record the other one is a event of a lifetime.

I like watching World Cup soccer. I root for the US but I'd go to a Prince concert first. However, if it was the Superbowl or Prince...Superbowl.

Treason!! Lock him in the Tower!!

Well, I'm from Wales and the chances of us ever getting to the World Cup final are probably equal to Prince playing as our goalkeeper!

So, there's no question that if Wales ever did make it to the final, I'd be watching.

World Cup final without a doubt.

In 1990 I had Prince tickets on the same night that England Played Cameroon in the quarter final.

I decided to go and watch Prince, it was a great show but I've always regretted missing that quarter final.

Now a real dilema would be the choice between England winning the world cup and prince opening up the vault.

Seeing as I'd rather be kicked in the nuts repeatedly than have to watch an entire soccer match, I'll go with Prince.

good question but the world cup final without a shadow of doubt.

Easy.

The final match will be on TV sso can be viewed any time.

P shows aren't typically televised and being present is even better....

It's a coincidence because I just entered a contest in Belgian paper where you can win a 5 day trip to South Africa including safari and tickets for the WC final but then I remembered that I had tickets for the Prince gig at Werchter... but still, IF i win this contest, Prince can wait for a while

On the other hand, if prince could prove to me that his upcoming show would be as intimate and as good as ONA in Paris + aftershow at le Bataclan or any other show at the same level --> definately Prince

100% Prince.. Wouldn't even have to think about it..

PRINCE without a shadow of doubt, I'm seeing him on 10th July, it's been 3 years and that has been a LONG ASS 3 years! so

English football culture is embarassing!

Purple & Gold?

Game.

Set.

Match.

Well played.

Maybe I'm weird but pretty much all sports just seem like low-brow entertainment to me.

I'd probably take a concert of an artist I only mildly like, over going to a sports match.

I mean, is there really any contest over which has more emotional depth - sports or music?

Not that it's some sort of zero-sum contest and you can only like one or the other, but for me, it's like there's SO much amazing music in the world that sports just doesn't register on my radar.

good lawd!, watch P when he is amongst his peers , emotional depth goes out the window and that super competitive ego takes over!.

Is there really a dilemma here?

are the WC tickets GOOD?

If so I would take them and sell them.

I have seen prince enough times. I am not sure if I would go if it was free (unless it was front row)

it assumes you really like soccer and seeing your team in the finals is less likely to happen again anytime soon.

I say go to the game

front row is crap, always best higher up on the half way line!. no selling allowed!...unless you were to spend the proceeds on a great P bootleg!

For England to get to the final, a miracle of some size will have to occur. Therefore Prince wins the choice, plus the footie is on TV, I can record it and watch it later

i meant front row for the concert.

Sorry Prince but it would have to be England in the World Cup Final, especially if it was this year. They've only ever got there once and not in my lifetime...hell man, the first finals in Africa, just saw the SA vs. Mexico game - what an atmosphere (the sound of the vuvuzayla - amazing! a country so up for it! wish i was there even for a group game)...I've seen P twice, would love to again, no lie...but the World Cup Final, it's the only thing bigger than the FA Cup Final...England would lose on penalties of course.

Good luck to Bafana Bafana, and my thoughts are with Mr Mandela and his family at this time.

I would def. choose Prince over the World Cup final8-) I've always been more of a music fan than a soccer fan.

[Edited 6/7/10 6:22am]

in my case its England because I live here/grew up here/born here, but nigeria because my parents where born there

but yes Ill take Prince ticket in a minute, see how bad nigeria are playing right now? Plus I looove Prince from the heart loool

Well Canada will never play in the World Cup final so Prince all the way. NOW if its Prince or the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup final, I'm probably going against Prince on that one.

That's easy. Since all sports bore the hell out of me, I would definately go to the Prince concert. Hell, I'd even go to a dog show before I'd go to a sports event.
