Martin Lol Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 ............. held in Korea every 2 years, this time being sponsored by Samsung. Definite teams: Asia: Seongnam Ilhwa (Korea, the K-League champion of the last season) N.America: Chivas de Guadalajara (Mexico) S.America: SC Corinthians (Brazil) Europe: Tottenham Hotspur (England), FC Schalke 04 (Germany) Maybes: Asia: Urawa Reds (Japan) Europe: Reading FC, Newcastle United (England), Olympique Lyonnais, AS Saint-Etienne (France), PSV Einthoven, AFC AJAX (Holland), FC Sevilla, Atletico Bilbao, Real Betis, Deportivo La Coruna (Spain), Udinese, Juventus, Palermo (Italy), Benfica (Portugal), RSC Anderlecht (Belgium), FSV Mainz 05 (Germany), Galatasaray (Turkey) N.America: Red Bull New York (USA), Pachuca (Mexico) S.America: Independiente, Club Atletico River Plate, Belgrano (Argentine), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Olimpis de Asuncion (Paraguay), Liga de Quito (Equador), Club Atletico Penarol (Uruguay) Oceania: Melbourne, FC Sydney, Queensland (Australia) Africa: Kaizerchiefs, Santos (South Africa), Stade Sportif Sfaxien (Tunisia) Samsung wanted Chelski but they couldn't fit it in, Samsung are wanting 2 English clubs. The competition involving 8 teams will run from July 6th to July 14th, two qualifying matches plus the final or 3rd/4th place playoff, unless they change the schedule due to Manure tour of Korea possibly going on at the same time and Asian Cup games. Spurs have confirmed they will be there (Spurs won it in 2005 beating Lyon) subject to not having to compete in the Intertoto. Worth the journey too, £1m for turning up, prize money for results and bonus £2m for winning it plus all the tv income, even if it is only Eurosport! I'd guess that Reading are included just in case either Spurs or Newcastle do have to compete in the Intertoto. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Oceania: Melbourne, FC Sydney, Queensland (Australia) Its; Melbourne Victory Sydney FC Queensland Roar Queensland Roar? It's part of living in a heathen country - the whole nickname thing being part of the official club name. And we have other silly names too, like Glory, Jets, Mariners and the now-defunct Knights. Apparently all the cool names were taken by league, union and AFL Oh, and we're not Oceania anymore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Isn't the sourcing of the money for the prize funds in this competition somewhat controversial? There was some talk that the prize money was funded by the moonies, if I recall correctly It's not just talk. The moonies do front the prize money for the competition. In fact, they're also the main sponsor for Sungnam Ilhwa, one of the teams in the competition and arguably the most successful club in Korea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
