    Belgium has an impressive collection of talent for a country their size. Maybe it's bigger than I think let me Google.

    And where are the young stars for Spain? Seems like they've been riding the same core forever.

    Basically their problem right there.

    They should be going with the core of Isco, Morata, Jese and De Gea.

    They are very talented but have no sense of team collectivism or national pride and determination when they play for the NT, apart from De Bruyne, Defour (who isn't on the team anymore) and a few of the defenders.

    there are some new fresh faces like koke, thiago, isco, morata, paco, sergi roberto, gaspar etc but expect the boring del bosque to go with the usual suspects (cesc, pedro, silva, possibly even iker at goal.. )

    Let's be brutally honest, naming the "best" footballer from the US is as relevant in world soccer terms as naming the best hoops player from Chile

    same with mexico tho

    chicharito is some kind of hero in mexico and plays for a team that won't even make the champion's league

    raul jimenez was a massive flop at atletico

    guardado couldn't cut it in valencia is now playing in the eredivisie in the prime of his career

    vela has been complete shit this season and giovani dos santos was sold to the mls

    face it, your region is garbage. costa rica has the two best players in campbell and navas

    Funny how things go. Two years ago Guardado wasn't good enough for Valencia and now he's pretty much the best player at PSV.

    Guardado's PSV would shit all over Valencia if given the chance.
