yeah, but like i said, its all down to size.
imagine that europe was one country, bringing it to roughly the size of the usa. english, german, dutch, french, and all the other country's players rolled into one. that soccer team would be near unbeatable.
but comparing usa to a country like england, or comparing england to the usa, by either of the two saying "we're the best" (england is roughly the size of oregon i believe) is pretty unfair be it soccer or any other sport.
its like comparing britain to a tiny island in the pacific ocean.
just like brazil. huge country where soccer is a popular sport. hence, they're good at it - there have to be some GOOD players in that 175 million population. pretty unfair comparing it to something like estonia that managed to string together a team from only a 1.5 million population.
