It's strange, but re: Australia in the World Cup there's probably 2 teams I'd prefer we don't get matched up against above Team USA. Yet take nearly any player on Team USA (maybe 2 exceptions) and put them on a random World Cup team and that team is significantly better. Definitely less than the sum of their parts.
