I would contend that Barcelona (who won this year's UEFA champions league as I'm sure you know) is better than the Spanish National team. They, Barcelona, have many Spanish National players plus players like Eto and Alverez and others who are the tops of their respective national teams.
The top end of almost every 'great' club team is comprised of select players from each of the countries therby making them almost undeniable better than their national teams. Players like Ronaldo (just bought by Real Madrid) don't stay to play for club teams in their native land. Of course I'm only speaking about the great club teams as currently construed (Barcelona, Man U, Chelsea, Madrid, maybe a couple of others).
This would not apply to any us club team since even the best US players (for the most part) don't play there if they can get into a European team.
Of course this is just my opinion as a soccer fan - I might be wrong!
