[Tiresais]

Given those formations, Europe. With a more fluid formation, possibly SA

[soccerman]

Sam, Sam, Sam!!!!!

hahahaha Sam wid dat avi it hard to focus on de line-ups. Two solid teams but I like the SA squad.

[asylumseeker]

On both front and middle lines, I'm going with South America ... buh call 5 subs apiece to seal the deal, nah.

[Tiresais]

Also, Zlatan up front? No way, With that poser you're bound to lose :p Balotelli every day of the week, or if you disagree, put van Persie in the middle and get Robben in.

Also, where's Falco for SA

Also I get this is personal opinion :p Don't let my comments come across as being definitive.

Does PSG not win?  Balo can't get in that squad at the moment.

[Tiresais]

PSG have other good players - but personally I'd prefer Balotelli

[Peong]

You can have your preference of course, but Zlatan is the league top scorer. Balotelli not doing anything this season.

He's got 7 league goals from 14 games, definitely not Zlatan's 13 from 16, but Balotelli scored 12 goals in 13 international's last year and I fancy him for big games more than Zlatan. Having said that the playoffs rather seem to contradict me - but in my personal opinion I think that was the exception rather than the rule. Zlatan needs to feel like he's the best - his arrogance impacts on his form more than Balotelli (who isn't immune from the same criticism).

Also, Balotelli solves bullying in schools - you can't leave him out!

[elan]

I think defensively SA has a weaker midfield.

You must be mad! Zlatan have the confidence to try things others wont but that is actually a positive quality given his skill level


watch

I think defensively SA has a weaker midfield.

Agreed, but if SA's midfield is firing on all cylinders they will outshine Europe's midfiled. This will be a hell of a game to watch though!

Tiresais - Zlatan over Mario bro. Ibra is in top form, Balo is not playing his best right now.

[asylumseeker]

Europe has some compelling names, but perhaps 4-3-3 is not the way to go to make the most effective European case ... It is true that SA is postured to attack, and may be overly compromising defensive values. Set up differently and expose them.

[asylumseeker]

... not that I mind a 1 v 1 battle between Iniesta and Messi.

I didnt know we were taking into account form - which case robben and move van persie into middle

I get that zlatan is a flair player but he is wildly inconsistent in my eyes and that means i taper my value. I can see why you might pick him, but for me he's always been a 'sometimes' player who comes in and out of fashion

You rell totin fuh Ibra lol.  Wildly inconsistent?!!  Yuh does watch ball on de radio or nah?

[Tiresais]

At best he's inconsistent. At worst he's a liability (remember him punching the guy in the stomach?). He went two years without scoring an international goal and has on/off seasons. He's still a good player, but i wouldnt personally pick him over robben. I can see an argument for him over Balotelli, but personally he's not my cup of tea.

Balotelli has 7 in 14, Ibra has 15 in 19. 

[Star Child]

Lucas Moura is a good player.

[Sando]

That European team will kill them. SA defence weak.

[mukumsplau]

whats the sense putting forward players in centre midfield? just for the sake of including them? put a proper team.
