Soccer debate - Club vs. National Team
Got into a debate last night - I argued that the Champions' League winner (or any top club) would defeat the World Cup winner. Reason being a club team with a huge budget like Madrid/ManUtd/Chelsea can pick and choose among the best players in the world, whereas a national team is confined by only being able to use players from that country. His argument was that some national teams (France, Brazil) are just so ridiculously talented that no club can match up with them; they also play with much better chemistry, he said. So denizens of 2p2, what say you?

But the top flight clubs and top flight international teams would be competitive versus each other. My unsubstantiated guess is the international teams would take away 60-65% of the points. |

Re: Soccer debate - Club vs. National Team
Countries would beat 95% of clubs. The highest of club teams would beat most countries.
Top clubs and top countries would be very competitive with no more than a 5-10% advantage either way. |
