Barzagli 
OT: it's really hard to choose which is a better squad.
Although I'd take ronaldo out because he flops in big games
The European team is lacking too much Pirlo for my liking!

Europe would win it. Both teams have great forwards but Xavi-Iniesta would just own the midfield completely.

Busquets out, Pirlo in.
Sagna/Enrique over Lahm?
and is there any point in saying 'America' when all of these players are South American? I thought this thread was going to be about USA/Canada/Mexico vs Europe

Can Pirlo defend better than Busquets? That's why I put Busquets because of his versatility, but Pirlo is clearly a good suggestion.
And Lahm has been very very weak in 2 years now, while Sagna and Enrique have been rock solid - maybe there are other guys who I've missed, but not Lahm.
@Ganso - yh I'm not sure about my America team - Lavezzi hasn't been that good for Argentina on the wings, that's why I choosed Di Maria for. And I totally forgot about Ganso

USA, Canada and Mexico are part of America. So is South America.
Anyways, USA/Canada/Mexico vs Europe would be completely one sided.

I agree with your comments on Pirlo and Lahm (Bayern fans rate him highly though). Pirlo's inclusion would warrant a change in formation so that he could have a DM alongside him. An alternative to Sagna or Enrique? Personally I rate Maggio very highly. Although he plays as a RM most of the time, he has also proven himself very capable at RB.urbaNRoots wrote:Forza Rossoneri wrote:Busquets out, Pirlo in.

In that XI Messi is the playmaker, he wouldn't be able to make nearly as much dribbling as he does with Barca, and although he is good as playmaker, he isnt nearly as good as a midfield paired with Xavi and Iniesta. Messi can't win games alone, Argentina 2010 taught us that.

how they would dominate when there is ronaldo in the team? just 2 players can not dominate game, you need 11 players with same philosophy to dominate a game. in barcelona even valdes passes the ball instead of kicking it its not just xavi and iniestastunt wrote:Europe would win it.

in this formation i dont see much of possession from europa, it would be close game and forwards would define the result

A team with Ronaldo can dominate possession. Want an example? Real Madrid. You don't need 11 players with the same philosophy to dominate a game. Pep's phylosophy isnt the all mighty truth of football.
2 players can dominate the midfield. And Xavi and Iniesta would. With a better defence and forwards of equal quality, Europe would be in advantage. America simply cannot rival a Xaviesta midfield.
