Stevo985 Posted December 17, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2012 Scotland? I was going to put that as my second guess, but I would have thoguth England would have more given that they've been to more International tournaments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted December 18, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2012 I'd say brazil, given the amount of pointless friendlies they play (and I know they're only playing friendlies now because they're hosting, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 brazil? ive got it as 97 WC matches, 90 qualifying matches, 28 confederations cup matches, 14 gold cup, 88 SA championship, 78 Copa america games plus then however many friendlies but that seems to obvious i thought germany might be close cos im sure they have played more WC games and certainly more qualifying games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 18, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2012 Germany might miss out on a technicality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 yeah i was unsure on that, if you class it as germany & west germany then they have played a lot more competitive games than any other european country, id guess at a good 20 games more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 18, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2012 But surely you'd have to count East Germany as well in that case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 not sure but fifa and uefa recognise west germany's achievements as germanys, if east germany had actually ever done anything then it might have needed rethinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 18, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2012 Fair enough. Regardless, I think England still beat them in terms of games played. Probably helps that there was an England National team about 25 years before Germany had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 wiki says that officially all the games played by west germany, east germany and saarland (from the saar region given to france after the war iirc, 1950-56) were all officially absorbed as germanys records so for 40 years germany effectively had 2 teams adding about 150 games to the total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 As England didn't play in the first World Cup and we don't play in the Olympics that may put us out of the running though ? My guess is it isn't somebody obvious so I was going to say Uruguay but I think they had a spot in the wilderness as well so probably rules them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
