Just a perspective:
*Touch wood for Zen*
If Belgium win the World Cup, KdB might be the leading candidate for Balloon Door. Or even Hazard, if he tears the league apart from Aug - Nov/Dec.
I hope Hazard wins it.
If England win it, Harry Kane will win the Door. Simplez. He's going to score 94845 goals from Aug until the voting closes + his goal scoring of last season AND the WC. It's a no brainer.
Just hope it's not one of Ron or Messi and no Real Madrid players, please. If Croatia win it, Modric is a candidate of course.

Imagine it were reversed and Spurs fans were saying they didn't want England to win because they have too many Arsenal players.
That would be the most small time mentality ever and completely embarrassing.
If you're from England yea, but if you have no ties to England then it shouldn't matter.
Yep.
For fans of England, it shouldn't matter because, in the end, their country is winning it.
As Jedie said, all we see is Tottenham players and I feel like not watching. I've been more interested in watching Saudi Arabia than I have in watching Tottenham bore us in the World Cup.
I've always had a soft corner for England though. In 2002 against Brazil, I cheered for England because - Seaman <3 and Campbell <3. Even in the Euros of 2004, I celebrated like mad when Lamps scored against France despite loving Pires, Zidane, and Henry of course.
But this side. This side - ugh. No. I can't bring myself to watch them without flinching, let alone see them win.
The only likable player in the team is... Uh... Ummmm, Uh... Oh yeah, Welbeck. My favorite English player.
'Course am talking as a neutral.
