Which players both present and in the past were better for their national team/known more for their national team achievements than for their club(s).

Biggest one I can think of is probably Miroslav Klose. Dude is Germany's all time scorer and has the most goals scored at World Cup Finals. However, his club career was alright at best.

Of present, I think Memphis Depay is potentially shaping up to be that way.

Gheorghe Hagi

See I was going to put him and Prosinecki. While Hagi only had 1 good season out of 4 with Real and Barca, he was good with Brescia (played there the season of USA94), Gala (till his retirement) and Steaua (That got his move to Real)

Prosinecki had more of a nomad club career, so country > club form probably him fits him better.

To be honest I don't really remember anything from his club career but when breh put on that Romania shirt he turned into a superhero.
