Club World Cup.
Re: Club World Cup.
Auckland City FC are maybe the 30th (?) best team in Oceania (as Australia and at least two better New Zealand teams are registered in the Asian region) which is a bit crazy.
10-0 is quite a pasting though.

Re: Club World Cup.
I've put the game on as I'm working and I like some background noise that I don't care about...and this does fit that criteria.
The attendance though, what were they thinking? How is this tournament able to give the winners so much money?

Re: Club World Cup.
I hadn't factored in games being played at 2am every day next summer. That's going to take some planning around.

Re: Club World Cup.
I know the opposition were terrible, but Delap already looks miles better than Jackson in Chelsea's side. I expect he'll do well next season.

Re: Club World Cup.
There is something interesting about watching teams like Boca, Flamengo or Palmeiras etc that I'd likely not otherwise.
It is a joke of a format at times, but it's not without positives.
Re: Club World Cup.
The concept of it is fine, good even.
It's what it represents, the reason for its being and what's coming in the future which is the issue.

The beautiful game is a bit poisoned isn't it.
Maybe another global entity can unpick the cancerous grip FIFA have on the game.

Re: Club World Cup.
It's on a week day during the day, people are working. Oh, and a game featuring LAFC, maybe play that at the Rose Bowl instead of in Atlanta?blueToffee wrote: ↑Mon Jun 16, 2025 7:30 pm I've put the game on as I'm working and I like some background noise that I don't care about...and this does fit that criteria.
