Soccer debate - Club vs. National Team

[eurythmech]

The top national sides would beat the top clubs, and it's not even close.

Just consider the number of top clubs, using a not too wide definition of top clubs, I'd say we have the following:

Barcelona
Real Madrid
Valencia
Arsenal
Chelsea
Liverpool
Manchester United
Bayern Munich
Lyon
Inter
Juventus
Milan
Roma

That would be 13 clubs that fight for their share of the world's top talents, while there are also world class players in other clubs.

This while the world's top nations would be Brazil, Argentina, France, Italy, Spain and then possibly Germany, England, Holland.
