Europe vs South America

Morning all,

How about a bit of Friday fun to lift our spirits. Talking to a guy at work about the World Cup, he said there should be a match between Europe and South America which got me thinking. What would the teams be? Would you have to leave out some of the worlds best players?

So, what would your teams be if there was a Europe vs South America match?

Pick 11 plus 5 subs. If you want to limit it to one player per country you can but you don't have to.

Thinking caps on...

Europe

Courtois

Lahm
Kompany
Hummels
Azpilicueta

Pirlo
Schweinsteiger

Ronaldo
Muller
Hazard

Van Persie

Subs
De Gea
Cahill
Marchisio
Pjanic
Benzema

South America

Muslera

Dani Alves
Thiago Silva
Yepes
Marcelo

Fernandinho
David Luiz

Messi
Oscar
Willian

Neymar

Subs
Ospina
Zapata
Vidal
Quintero
Aguero

suarez?

Subs:
Courtois
Mertesacker
De Rossi
Muller
Hazard





Subs:
Garay
Alves
Vidal
Sanchez
Aguero

I think that would be an incredibly close game with the South American team naturally having more flair and star quality but think the European defence is stronger.

Must really rate van Persie, Crimey...Both a starter and on the bench

Nick's team would also play in blue and would sack their manager during the game whilst a mad Russian tried to buy Messi

No room for Ronaldo or Suarez nick?

Yeah, Ronaldo over Reus. Suarez can go suck a dick.

One of the best players in the world today and would improve every team. That said you have Cahill as a back up CB, he's just not that good

cant believe nobody has had di maria in the south american team so far, one of madrids most impressive players last season, easily have him over a oscar but he can also lay deeper. on the same note id easily have modric on at least the bench over the likes of de rossi, Marchisio and Pjanic

And then you leave Thiago Silva out of the South American defence, possibly the only shoe-in for that team!

Thiago silva is so overrated it's unreal!

Even if that's true, the overrated Thiago Silva is still much better than Yepes

not on current for imo
