The population of Brazil is 195,655,014, the population of Croatia is 4,407,000. Both teams are only allowed to field 11 players at a time. Statistically there is more chance of playing for Croatia 11/4.4m than Brazil 11/195.7m.

So, yeah.
Those statistics represent the opposite ie its easier to play for Croatia

Holy hector. Is there any other ITK out there. I'm sick of this willian yes he is, no he isn't shit. Imagine the drama when is misses his first sitter....

Isco - younger, cheaper, bigger talent and from a better league. Fuck Willian, make this happen instead.
Go for both. Isco seems more of an alternative to Moutinho.

I could imagine the conversation between Levy and aVB about Willian and Isco.

AVB: I want you to buy me Willian from Shaktar he's what we need.
Levy: Hmmmmmm, could be expensive.
AVB: He'd be worth it.
*Levy ponders for a moment*
Levy: What if i told you I could get you a younger, better, cheaper version?
AVB: No chance, not possible.
Levy: Ah, but it is. Malaga need cash, how does Isco sound?
AVB: Well... You know... I've always been a big fan.
Levy: Good, Timmy is over there letting Malaga know he'll be ours.

I can really see Vdv going. He would want to leave for the sake of his family. Levy would like getting a fee before he gets to old or his contract runs down. Boas may well think Vdv might not quite fit into his system and also has the potential to be a trouble maker.

I would like to think the there is a chance of either - but I would also say that AVB went after Will.i.an last year, Chelsea went for him earlier in the window (and then settled on Oscar), let's not dismiss him completely on the basis of the league he is playing in and not being first choice for Brazil!

I'm willing to bet that there is a decent player there - also, there is possibly some value in teaming him up with Sandro and Leandro ...

The dutch media are turning on him a bit, they want someone more dynamic to come in. He has 100 caps now, impressive, but time for someone younger to come through perhaps.

A move to Germany may suit, Sylvie works there, and he's liked at Hamburg.

Who has been trying desperately to think of Black eyed pea/Will.i.am songs we can turn into a chant... Just me ? Oh...

I'm not sure I agree with your logic. If you're correct, then it's much harder to play for san marino (11/0.031m)
That doesn't make any sense 11/31000 is a much larger number than 11/195000000 and therefore its MUCH EASIER to play for San Marino. Am I going mad or do people on here not understand probability?

No, they don't.
Chances of playing for Brazil: 1 in 17,800,000 (195.7m/11)
Chances of playing for Croatia: 1 in 400,000 (4.4m/11)

Edit: Thanks to those of you correcting me - was meaning to reply to the other side of the argument! D'oh!

Fuck it, it's late and I've had beer!

I think when displaying a ratio you should use : not / . that might ease the confusion
