Would be my team. I couldn't do a World 20, as far too many good teams. Europe was hard enough and have missed out lots of big teams.

Real Madrid
Bracelona
Bayern Munich
Borrusia Dortmund
Ajax
Lyon
Marseille
Inter Milan
Man U
Chelsea
Celtic
Rangers
Porto
AC Milan
Zenith St Petersburg
Santos
River Plate
Cruz Azul
Yokohama
Kaizer Cheifs

you would have to be a millionaire just to follow all the away games!!

But I do wish the Champions League did exactly what it said on the tin and was just for champions I'm sure they could find 32 leagues in Europe! The Europa would be better as just one big knockout competition! but it'll never happen...

and that's why I don't work for UEFA....

Rangers
Celtic
Chelsea
Lille
Galatasaray
Roma
Real Madrid
Barcelona
Juventus
Santos
LA Galaxy
AC Milan
Inter Milan
Man United
Liverpool
Arsenal
Bayern Munich
Borussia Dortmund
Marseille
Ajax

Would be amazing Telly lads

Not a chance would a Scottish team make the list of 20.
1 Arsenal
2 Chelsea
3 Liverpool
4 Man City
5 Man Utd
6 Tottenham
7 Atletico Madrid
8 Barcelona
9 Real Madrid
10 Valencia
11 AC Milan
12 Inter Milan
13 Roma
14 Bayern Munich
15 Borussia Dortmund
16 Shalke
17 Porto
18 Ajax
19 Lyon
20 Marseille

You can make a case for Shakhtar Donetsk, Bayer Leverkusen or Juventus.

Denim jays the reason they would is because they would probably take the biggest away fans to all games and have full houses even if the home stadiums were increased to 100 thousand

dont think either gers or celtic would make it.

Great fanbases etc, but defo not in top 20 clubs in world football.

We might not be the best, but we still bring an entertaining tie to the table, thats why i would have the Oldfirm added, ah well...one can dream

Lennyisfromvenus.

River Plate? Do you follow world football at all?

They play in the 2nd division in argentina

did they get relegated, shizzo that is like Rangers or Celtic getting relegated, what the hell happened to them!

Lenny,
if you are going on fan-bases, or teams with big away followings then there would be a big difference.
To start with, teams outside of the UK cannot compete worldwide in terms of fan-base with the exception of Real and Barca, so out of the twenty teams you'd probably have 12 from England. That isn't really a worldwide league then is it. Also Leeds would probably be up there in terms of away support, and we can't have that...

yeah they got put down!

it was a big artical in WorldSoccer this month.

I think relegation is decided by points in the last 3 seasons, and they were very low down and lost a playoff game!

But yeah the top side in argentina now are velez

deminjays the only thing holding both us and Celtic back is the league we play in and lack of TV money the top teams in Every league on the planet are the ones with the most support.

You can't say England would be the top when the Bundesliga has the highest average attendances.

We would have the largest travelling attendances in that league mentioned above. As soon as it was proposed you would see both Rangers and Celtic build 100,000 + seater stadiums and fill them week in week out.

You only have to look at Europe right now where Rangers have the UEFA record for travelling fans and the CL recrod for travelling fans with Celtic just behind with their Seville attendances.

To get the sponsorship and TV deals that this
needs there would need to be
12 European - Man U, Man C, Liverpool, Barca,
Real M, AC, Inter, two Russian, PSG or Lyon,
plus two others, doubtful if this would be either
Rangers or Celtic
3 S American - 1 Brazilian, 1 Argentinian plus
AN OTHER
2 from probably Asia probably Japanese and
Saudi
2 from US probably LA Galaxy and an east coast
side
1 from South Africa.

Even with air travel it would be exceptionally
difficult to meet all the logistical headaches.

Castle and Lenny,
I constructed my list of 20 teams going on those which I think are the best from Europe, as I said previously.
Personally I just wouldn't put either Glasgow team in the same bracket. You don't have to agree, that's the whole point of the article!
