How would that team fair in this World Cup?

I know players would over lap but I guess my question is how's the competition of the World Cup compared to your best teams in club leagues?

I'd imagine you can accumulate a better team by paying them than off of citizenship. No?

Bayern from two years ago and Real from last year would have run away with this tournament.

The best Champions League teams would be favored.

This WC's Germany is essentially a Champions League team and could hang with Real, Bayern, Barca, etc - they play well together to the point they look like a club team.

I think the club teams' biggest advantage would come from more time practicing and playing together. The talent levels would be pretty comparable since all of the key players on the World Cup champions play for teams that are potential champions league participants. Spain in 2010 had guys like Cesc Fabregas on the bench who were good enough to play for champions league teams.

Who among the regulars for Germany or Argentina could not find a roster place on a champions league type team?

Clubs are business.... meaning player are bought and brought in and honed for specific reasons and the richest clubs try every time to get the best player and they work together...


A National Team, takes what it can get out of the generation they're given and the team usually has limited time together.

Clubs, almost by nature are better teams.

Since an elite player obviously has little say who he plays with in the World Cup, it strips football of all the money, politics, contracts and egos that accompany pro sports and all your left with... is the beautiful game. Probably why it's so easy to love the World Cup.
