I haven't seen all the matches, most of Miami, most of Palmeiras then bits and bobs of Cheslea and PSG, but this definitely feels more like it. Feels like actual jeopardy with Bayern and the barbers in the group, so kind of a winner takes all, and the crowd is great, and a bit of a surprise current score - I saw Boca were 5/1 at Bet365 about an hour before kick off.

Just the 26th different coaching job for the old lad in charge of Boca. Heritage.

Go on, Boca. Header assisted by a header is an underrated goal type.

It’s a clearly a bullshit tournament but bar making it borderline free nee cunt is going to watch an awful lot of the games regardless of where they’re held unless it’s a global brand European club or a big Latin American club from Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and maybe Colombia who are well supported/have diaspora fans.

Hard Boc Stadium more like!

Gooooooooool gerrin.

I assume they're properly split by now, mind.

They had to fudge it to guarantee/allow the better/bigger teams in. If it was the previous last 4 of the CL, previous last 4 of the Libertadores etc it would make a modicum more sense. Boca kicking the shit out of Benfica here to make up for the quality difference. Lovely stuff. This is proper intercontinental football.

Boca kicking Benfica off the park.

I can't see Bruno or Tonali getting dropped, but equally, I can't see us signing a 60m player for him to sit on the bench. I think his skillet lends itself to getting the best out of the wingers and Isak, in particular, so if one had to make way itd be Big Joe, who'd become a key tactical sub in almost any scenario.

I looked this up today, for Europe who get 6 places last 3 champions league winners then the top 3 ranked teams. Similar for other places, where the continental champs get in, plus some other teams due to rankings. If you can be arsed its here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_FIFA_Club_World_Cup

I hope he stays for a long time, but have a sneaky feeling Isak could end up at Barca next summer.

Dunno like - seem to have found a sack of cash behind the sofa - plus if Diaz, Nunez go that will help to balance the books

Where does that leave big Joe?

Not that I really care but what were even the criterias for who was picked for this shite anyway?

Chelsea just addicted to signing Fofana’s at this point

If it was Man Utd and Liverpool those stadiums would be full, I think it shows how much smaller Man City and Chelsea are.

Great, so the veteran has now lost his decision-making abilities too. Let him go, he's clearly lost his mind.

Tbf a completely meaningless friendly between Man Utd and Leeds is pretty much a sell out in a 50k arena in Sweden in July. So aye, shove any two relatively big clubs against each other pretty much anywhere in Europe and it would probably sell quite well. That doesn't mean there's any actual interest in the tournament though, it just means people are desperate to see their team play live.

I would watch our games if I had nowt else to do, same as I do with our friendlies. It's more to do with how much I enjoy watching Howe's Newcastle than anything else really. I would feel quite embarrassed about watching them mind, which I don't feel about watching a friendly, so I guess it's fair to say that it'd be ranked lower than friendlies for me.

Coppola to Brighton is an absolute steal. Serie A is being picked apart this window.

Looks like something P.Diddy would wear.

Co-ords are proper in tbf. He’s probably about 10 years too old to get away with them like.
