My problem with the world cup being the deciding factor is that the world cup has been won by ONLY 8 TOTAL UNIQUE COUNTRIES, that's pathetically low with the top 4 winning it over 70% of the time.
The UCL/cup is a much harder competition with 23 different winners, with its glory only being one below the World Cup.
Winning the world cup means more than just being insane, it requires an insane amount of luck to even be born in the right place at the right time. And even if you are eligible, it's more natural to want to represent your country.
I hate city with all my gut but it is insane to me that the person who won one of the hardest leagues in the world and the hardest competition in the world while having a record breaking season isn't being heralded as something more great.
#yagunnersya would be a nod to Ozil right? Nobody else used it no?
