Pokerprince2004 Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago I think its only really Auckland City who are going to be whipping boys so this was always going to give the tournament a real bad look especially with it being only the second game.

Yorkie Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago 2 minutes ago, Fak said: Will admit having read a few of the articles on The Athletic about this tournament, that I have been semi looking forward to it even though I know it's a vanity project for Infantino and it's a tournament that is most definitely not needed. A chance to see teams like Boca Juniors and all that Even the most pernicious and hollow version of this tournament (i.e. the one we're getting) is at the very least intriguing. It's a shame it has to be like this because if it was done the right way - surrounded by sensible decisions regarding the calendar and governance and allocation of prize money and everything else - it could be a fantastic thing to have. Palmeiras vs Porto? Yes fucking please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fak Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Just now, Stifler said: I think it’s a good idea, it is just hard to get it to work practically. It means that if you have it in the summer then pretty much every club outside of Europe has to interrupt their season. If you have it in the winter, then the European teams have to interrupt their season. In all fairness, having it 2-3 weeks later would have worked better for the European clubs, as it could have been a pre-season build up for them. It's a good idea in theory but where and how do you fit it into the footballing calender without risking burnout on the players? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t really, unless for the European teams at least it’s used as a pre-season friendly. The only other alternative is to replace our respective Champions Leagues with a global season long CWC. How it would work playing someone away in Australia on a Wednesday night, and being back to play Burnley on the Saturday is more difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, or allow teams to pull out of a domestic tournament the way Man Utd did with the FA Cup in 2000? But if you allow that then you diminish domestic cups. Looking forward to watching Paris in an hour though mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
