Now with the World Cup going on, I couldn't help but wonder... what would a Kaiju World Cup (with each country being represented by their giant monsters) as the players?

As for teams I have two below, USA and JAPAN. I've grouped each team's kaiju by what company made the Kaijus in question, and in each group only 3 are allowed in it. Because Pacifc Rim was also made by Legendary Pictures (not mentioning if I even liked the movie or not) I chose to not have them favoring the new Godzilla monsters. While both American Kaiju groups are copyrighted to TOHO, they were created/originated from different American Studios.

Team: USA

Kaiju LEGENDARY---

1: *Leader* American Godzilla

2: Female MUTO

3: Winged MUTO

Kaiju TRISTAR---

4: American Zilla Jr

5: Robo-Yeti

6: Nessie

Team: JAPAN

Kaiju TOHO

1: *Leader* Final Wars Gojira

2: Anguirus

3: Rodan

Kaiju DAIEI

4: Gamera

5: Legion

6: Gyaos

Now that I've made two teams, it's up to you to think up what competitions they would do. Any thoughts?

You could have gone with Daiei kaiju: Gamera? Daimajin? Gyaos? Legion? Iris? Barugon? Zigra? Viras? Or even Tsuburaya kaiju: Zetton? Gomora? Jirass? Baltan? The One? Pedoleon?

And I don't understand the reasoning for not including Pacific Rim kaiju. Using only the MUTO seems to be limiting and Pacific Rim had some far more interesting and exciting beasts in its lineup. It especially doesn't make much since seeing as you've added Toho's Kong.

@THEGMAN123: Yes, Anguirus is the ball... a rather spikey ball though. Should help out in some of the games.

@GMAN2887: I didn't include the Daiei Kaiju because I had forgotten them... actually I never really had watched any of Gamera's films. I will update my list for the Japan team. I will remove Varan/Toho Kong/Manda for some Gamera kaijus.

Also, I consider the Pacific Rim kaijus to be weaker than the 2014 Godzilla... let alone the MUTOs. Their armor was so strong that it took Godzilla (and his 15 megatonNuke proof armor hide... the 15 megaton Nuke was the 1954 nuke Castle Bravo) to hurt them. Godzilla had a bigger size and build vs Gypsy Danger. Slattern survived a 1.2 megaton nuke that was used, so Jaeger sword/punch/chest-nuke-blast had to be stronger... but not enough to match what Godzilla can dish out. Don't get me wrong, my favorite (and to me more impressivly shown) was the Leatherback kaiju. However considering the two MUTOs nearly killed the King of Monsters, I stuck with them.

The Tristar and Daiei teams could be considered far weaker (and smaller) as well. I still don't understand the handicap. A monster's a monster.
