its relatively close either way between the top clubs and top national teams. the club teams are the ones that would have much better chemistry though.

Club teams easily.

Teamwork>>>>>>>>>Talent

And the talent level is fairly equal in my opinion. If you look at another sport, basketball, this is why team USA loses. Most talent by far, but they dont play together that often and get their asses handed to them by crap teams like Greece who have much less talent but play together all the time.

Jacob, I was thinking about this yesterday, which NBA team would beat Team America in a 7 game series?

I bet San Antonio could. But it is a bit of a different in basketball because even today 85 percent of the best players in the world come from the US.

The US team also doesn't send it's best players. I don't think a lot of American players think of it as an honor. We don't have dream team anymore going, we have a good team with all-stars but not the best.
