Well its a hard desition but these would be my elections for their teams. I would apply a 4-3-3 for both teams, and the goal would be made by the player referred.(*) I am also only including countries that are participating in this World Cup, as well as players.\n\nEurope\nGolie: Gainluigi Buffon (Italy)\nDefenders: Philipp Lahm (Germany)\n                   Sergio Ramos (Spain)\n                   Fabio Cannavaro (Italy)\n                   Giovanni Van Bronckhorst (Netherlands)\nMidfields:    Michael Ballack (Germany)\n                   Frank Lampard (England) * (12m)\n                   Deco (Portugal)\nForwards:  Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden)\n                  Andriy Shevchenko (Ukraine) ** (54m, 81m)\n                  Thierry Henry (France)\n\nSouth America\nGolie: Roberto Carlos Abondanzieri (Argentina)\nDefense: Roberto Fabian Ayala (Argentina)\n                Sorin (Argentina)\n                Roberto Carlos (Brazil)\n                Cicinho (Brazil)\nMidfielders: Javier Masherano (Argentina)\n                   Ronaldinho (Brazil)\n                   Kaka (Brazil)* (27m)\nForwards:   Ronaldo (Brazil)* (45+)\n                   Roque Santacruz (Paraguay)\n                   Hernan Crespo (Argentina)\n\nFinal Result: Europe 3-2 South America

The U.S. has had 6 appearances in the World Cup.  The best finish was in 1930 when the U.S. reached the semifinals.

The teams are comprised of passport holders of the nation they represent.  There is no player playing for a different country.  What you may see is a player that belongs to a club in another country, but not the national team.\nYou are correct, they don´t get to practice together for too long, usually a couple of months.  That is why they have as many friendly matches against other countries as they can.

This is my whole team, including the subs:\nStrikers: VanNistelrooy (HOL) Savchenko (UKR) Raul (ESP) Henry (FRA)\nMidfield: Beckham (ENG) Viera (FRA) Ballack (GER) Totti (ITA) Figo (POR) Maniche (POR) Gattuso (ITA) Pirlo (ITA)\nDefenders: Thuram (FRA) Terry (ENG) Cannavaro (ITA)  Zambrotta (ITA) Carvalho (POR) Nesta (ITA)\nStam(HOL) Puyol (ESP)\nGoalkeepers: Buffon (ITA) Cech (CZE) Casillas (ESP)\nAs you can see there is a strong World Cup influence, since many of these players landed on the 2006 World Cup allstar team. It would depend on where the game was played. The\nclimate can have a big impact. If the game was played in hot conditions, that would probably favor the South Americans.\nIf it was played in cold conditions, that would favor the Europeans. I think it also would depend on the style of football played. Tight defensive football would favor the Europeans you would think based on tradition, while the wide open offensive style would favor the South Americans, since they have more\nflair with the ball traditionally in terms of control, passing and shooting. They are more creative  than the Europeans usually.\n\nNote to fatima_b: South Americans are Americans. America\nconsists of North, Central and South America. America means\nmore than just the United States "of" America.  The "of" means\npart of something bigger. America can just mean the USA, or\nit can mean North, Central and South America.

Its because Germany has the best record in world cup for an european team. Champions 3 times ( '54, '74, '90 ) , Runners up 4 times ( '66,'82, '86, '02 ). Two times they have managed to beat teams who were far better than them Holland in 1974 & Hungary in '54. They are an excellent tournament side that is they reach their top form during the big games. that is why thet are always there.

If an all-star South American team played an all-star Europe the South Americans would win for sure. They have technique and they play the game the way it was meant to be. Europeans usually just kick the ball up to a speedy forward and hope that he can score. It isn't as much fun to watch them play.

wow - that's cool ;)\n\nalthough there is an error in your logics:\n\n- for the winners of 1994, 1986 and 1990 the logics are correct, as you added the year the winner won and the year the winner won the last time\n- but for the winners of 2002 and the possible winner of 2006 there is an error: you should continue your logics by adding the year the team won and the year the team won the last time, so for the 2002 winner the total is (2002+1994 = 3996; 2006+2002 = 4008, so it cannot be brazil)...\n- also, your logics don't work for argentina (1978+0 = 1978), italy (1982+1938 = 3920) and france (1998+0 = 1998)\n\nbut here's something interesting for you (as you seem to be a fan of brazil and i'm a fan of italy, lol):\n\n- brazil took 24 years to win their 4th world cup (1970-1994) and who won the 1982 world cup? - italy...\n\nmay the best team win ;)
