Who would win?
(NB France is northern Europe here)
North:
--------------------Neuer---------------------
Lahm---Kompany----Hummels---A.Cole
---Schweinsteiger---Wilshere-------------
Robben-----------Ozil---------------Bale
--------------------RvP------------------------
subs:
Cech
Alaba
Vertonghen
Kroos
Reus
Ibrahimovic
Khedira
South Europe
----------------Casillas----------------
-----Ramos---Pepe-----Chiellini----
-------------Pirlo-----Xavi-------------
Iniesta-------Fabregas-------Ronaldo
-------Cassano-----Balotelli----------
Subs:
Buffon
Pique
Alba
Alonso
Moutinho
Pedro
Villa
Even disregarding the fact that the South would have greater chemistry, they still look the better team, though the North would be very dangerous on the counter and have a world class striker, unlike the South
And of course there's South America:
-------------------Romero---------------------
Alves----Thiago Silva-----Otamendi---Marcelo
---------Mascherano---Ramires-------------
Messi--------------------------------------Neymar
----------Aguero-------Falcao-------------------
Thoughts?
Northern Europe vs Southern Europe

Also in no way has Wilshere proved he is as good as Khedira.
---------------------
Different players.
I'd rather Khedira for some positions and Wilshere for others.

Kroos over Rooney?
I can just about accept that personal opinion would place Ozil higher (not on current form though)
Arsenal fans
Rooney destroys you time and again, yet you think he is overrated

Rooney has destroyed us once in the last 3 seasons, in the 8-2, where anyone would have destroyed us. Kroos is an incredibly talented player, not sure how it's so strange to rate him over Rooney who's been very average his season.

You're doing this on form..... Yet Ozil makes your starting line up? I guess you watch one high profile match per year, right?

wilshere im sorry he's a great talent but theyre are better players in CM than him in northern europe
kroos and gundogan are the best of the lot

Marcos Reus in for Bale.
Villa in for one or both of Cassano and Balotelli.

The Southern Europe team (basically a combination of Spain, Italy and Portugal) would win over Northern Europe (Germany, Holland, England).
No surprise here as Spain > Germany, Italy > Holland and Portugal > England in terms of national teams.

"I can just about accept that personal opinion would place Ozil higher (not on current form though)"
Just about?
Ozil is twice the player Rooney ever was, as different as they are.
Nothing to do with form.
And why wasn't Ribery mentioned?

The south have all the good footballers and the north all the money to buy them.
