Players that were amazing at club level but not at National level

or vice versa....

for me it was suazo for Honduras

Miroslav Klose for Germany clearly.

Ronaldo

ibra

cantona, ginola, zola, weah, & yada, yada, yada............

rvp.... even messi

Every 'decent' English player. True story.

Decent being WC.

I'd probably go with Klose too (but vice versa), just because he was phenomenal at the international level.

Ronaldo

messi ?

Not really, he's right..

Tommy English*













*as in any English player for the past 40 years. :p






BTW: Messi was good for Argentina, Argentina just wasn't good. CR7 disappointed me more, yet both were actually good, Portugal just is a choker squad and Argentina was managed by Cokadona.

One game doesn't make you a NT flop, just sayin

CR7.

Hugo Sanchez.

Henrik Larsson

Cristiano Ronaldo
Miroslav Klose
Every English player this past decade except for Beckham and Owen
I might get bashed for this, but Del Piero

He wasnt ever a flop in the NT, but he didnt shine the way he did at club level.

Cr7 and Messi are good examples

Forlan?

Victor Valdez :lol!:

It's harsh . Goal-scorers tend to perform better in better teams (Celtic were arguably the best side in SPL) .

He was in the Sweden team that finished third in 94 , and scored a goal in the third-place playoff .
If I remember right , he scored 3-4 goals in 4 games at 2002 .
Came back from retirement , scored 3 goals in 4 games (including that diving header) , and was in the team of the tournament in Euro 04.
Didnt really had a good WC in 06 , but did manage to score , thereby managing to score in 3 different WC's.
Came back from retirement (again) , participated in Euro 08 , and scored in their only victory .

Larsson has done more for Sweden than most players who played for the NT , I mean if you had to pick players in the Swedish NT who were stars at clubs but really didnt perform in the NT , surely Larsson isnt the obivious choice .

Fun Fact : Larsson has a better goal-to-game ratio for his NT than Messi and CR7 .

And if what i said till now didnt make sense , Henerik Larsson was voted the best Swedish footballer ever in 2005 , and has been decorated in his home country .

Doesnt he won the golden ball in SA invalidate this argument ?
