    Let's pretend that the England squad was a team in the EPL, and somehow players could play for both England and their respective clubs.

    How well do you think England would fair against teams in the league, and especially against the top teams like Utd, Chelsea, City and Arsenal? Where do you think they would finish?

    Also, do you think there are any international squads who are up there with the quality of the best domestic clubs in the world?

    Not very good, They would come 5/6th imo simply because the don't work as a team.

    The way they played today they'd probably end up in Division 2 playing teams like Hereford.

    Over the course of a season they would start to gel - I would say top 6/7 first season and then a top 4 the following season

    They'd just be passing it around their defences the whole game...

    haha I know what you mean, its why I usually don't like watching Barca, but if both teams are pressing all over the pitch it might make it interesting... we'll never know though
