Winners of the Champions League in the last 4 years. After that I think the European teams were selected on coefficient.
Think it’s similar for other continents (their version of a he Champions League winners over the past 4 years) depending on how many spaces they have. Plus a few rouge qualification methods like Inter Miami qualifying as the League Leaders before the playoffs in the MLS last season

The problem with this is that the Brazilian teams take it much more seriously and are mid season as opposed to being knackered after a full season like the European teams.
I'll be anyone but Palmeiras after comments I get here about how they couldn't support a small club like Brighton, from people in central Brazil that have never set foot in Sao Paulo, and how superior they are.

Hopefully the English teams will fall early. The less money they receive the better for the other PL teams
I dunno, knackered and grumbly “we never got a break” squads at City and Chelsea could be beneficial to us and the rest of the PL come August.

Exactly. Pure money making and I will not be watching at all. Elite sports people need to have a break to be at their best, and surely this only risks injuries.

I’ve never watched a single minute The Hundred and I won’t be watching a second of this either.

Inter Miami qualified by the "we have Messi" route.

Fun fact.
Aukland City players are on a maximum of approximately £70 a week.

In the same way they opened a transfer window for Ronnie so he could join a club, any club, just for the month.
Incidently, all clubs are earning more in the four week event than the UCL in a whole season.

According to the Athletic (via the BBC, because I don't have a sub), students at Miami Dade College were offered a deal, buy one ticket for $20, get FOUR free. So tickets are now going for $4 a pop.

Couldn't care less who wins but, you know, I like watching football so I daresay I'll watch a fair few games. I'm not paying for it and I'm pretty sure the illegal streams I'll be watching won't be included in the viewing figures so what's the harm?

I don't care who wins apart from the fact that I don't want any English Premier League clubs cashing in on additional prize money.
