Probable XI vs. #ENG (4-1-3-1-1): Buffon; Darmian-Barzagli-Chiellini-De Sciglio; De Rossi; Verratti-Pirlo-Marchisio; Candreva; Balotelli.

Whilst that's your opinion you're definitely wrong.
It's every 4 years and is a one game knockout where the best players can't just assemble to whoever is paying them the most and win like the top teams have done for the last 20 years. You work with whatever you are given which has its benefits and its draw backs. (Like Ibra never getting anywhere in a major tournament and the chances of Ronaldo winning anything being very slim)
It's better because players (for the most part) aren't just playing because it's their job. Watch Ghana - Uruguay from 2010 and tell me it's the same.
You can argue that the football is better - it is for the most part but the world cup is different. They're incomparable. The champions league can be pretty much bought.

Would LOVE a rematch this year.That Ghana x Uruguay is the most memorable match I've seem in my life. And I doubt I'll see better in the future.

Its probably fair to say the quality of football in the UCL is better, the bigger teams in it could probably beat most national teams. However, the world cup is different though.
There's just so much more passion and intensity about it, literally the whole world comes together to watch it. Everyone dreams about playing for their country, you can see it in the players when they play and it resonates with the fans that watch it. I guess when a team loses it can be easy to say 'there's always next year', same can't be said about the world cup.
