Rivals Team Up: Difference between revisions

* The Spanish national soccer team of 2008-2011 (and as of 2011 still going strong) is a successful combination of the best Spanish players from the rival teams of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, two teams with a long history of hating each other. For much of the Spanish national soccer team's history, a major flaw was often an inability for Real Madrid and FC Barcelona players to work well together. In 2008, coach Aragones worked to unite the two traditional foes, and they cruised their way to a dominant win of the Euro Cup 2008 and the World Cup 2010.

* Americans and Russians VS Germany in [[WW 2]]. Many [[WW 2]] veterans and historians often cite the result of this trope as the reason for Germany's defeat being inevitable after 1941. Interestingly enough, the two superpowers would pull off this trope again [[In Space]] via the International Space Station. In fact, there's a rather surprising degree of cooperation amongst rivals (and even allies) in space programs; considering the nature of space operations, though, this strategy is extremely successful.
