I noticed this when I was watching at the pub. Not only are they all from the same league, but they are both young and experienced. Looking at the caps, and how many of them play in the same teams, you would think this plays a big part into their success




Its pretty impressive really

A lot of the best international teams are built around players that play their club football together. Even recent winners are often built around a core of club teammates, like Spain (Madrid and Barcelona) and Germany (Bayern). Chemistry is really important in football and it's impossible to build in a week or two of training before a big tournament.
