I'd rate the quality of the Champions League and the competition in the Champions League as much higher than international football personally.

Is that why Liverpool who only have three very good players do well in it?

Come on chief, they have some quite superb players.
What about Greece winning the Euro 2004?
Ok here's one for you. Would you see a goal like Argentina's in the last world cup? You know the one when they had loads of passes. Would you see that in the Premiership?
Brazil 1970, 1982, Italy 1982, Argentina 1986, these are teams that you don't see at club football.
Oh and I only recognise 3. You take Carragher, Torres or Gerrard out of the side for any length of time and you will see a quite different Liverpool.
Milan 89? United 2008?
The same could be said for most national team mate, take England for example.
What about Alonso? Reina? Theres two more world class players.
Well, I wouldn't go far as that, but I see your point.
Thing is though, winning the World Cup is the highest accolade you can win in football. For that you have to agree.
I dont really agree with that mate as it rules out too many of the world's best players: George Best, Rush, Southall and that dont really stand a chance.
At least with the Champions League they can compete if theyre good enough to join a top club. I would rate that as the highest accolade.
I was just trying to wind you up.
The UEFA Goblet is where its at.

Yeah youd have to say that, the likes of Weah, Puskas, Best, Boban, Savejavic, Nedved, Schemiceal, Keane would never be in with a shout of winning the world cup but yet where at times the best players inthe world.
The best players have a chance of winning the CL.
