With the 50+ years of hurt it's easy to see why club will usually win out over country.
However, I think the sport as a whole is facing some big challenges over the next 10 years from the financials to the location of the next two World Cups and most importantly of all as a spectacle. Maybe it's just me but I grew up playing the game and loved watching it but as exemplified by 90% of Euro2016 games it has become boring beyond belief.
