Does that mean there won't be any Eurovision in the 70s, favourite sweets of the 60s documentaries on C5 tonight. FFS!

[Football] FIFA Club World Cup
- Thread starter happypig
- Start date
I don’t know who is in it. I don’t care. I won’t be watching a second of it.
When I think of the biggest sporting events in the world, I always think “Channel 5”
I see this tournament run for a month, how seriously are clubs taking it? Are they sending full strength teams?

I think they have to if I remember correctly. Think it's a condition of being invited to take part that they have to have a certain percentage of 1st team players?

The Club World Cup is football's answer to cricket's Hundred. It has Saudi written all over it. When Blatter, of all people, says Saudi Arabia has taken control of international football, you know there is a problem.
I was all on board, until I saw the toxic waters beneath. I'll stick with the cricket.

Given it ends in the middle of July, the players of any clubs which get to the latter stages won’t have any time off until pre-season. I know this is the same for international tournaments but the difference is this might impacts just a handful of a club’s players…..this will be the entire team.

Presume City and Chelsea will rotate and use the tournament as part of their pre season training?. As you say, its not ideal when the players need a good month off from any football to recuperate/holiday with family.

This.
It has nothing to do with proper sporting competition.
It has everything to do with Infantino trousering as much cash as he can.

Did anyone watch the game last night? Was it as empty as suggested? Don't be scared to answer. On this occasion we will consider you as a scout for NSC and you will not be punished...
