Fans around the world are moaning at the European fans / teams because of the apparent lack of respect for the Club World Cup, but they need to understand that this competition isn't our number 1, the Champions League is our big tournament, then it's our own league (some people value both the same) It's also the fact that there is already so much football as it is, you gotta give yourself a break from it now and again or you'll just burn yourself out.

What seems to have been totally overlooked or dismissed is that these South American teams are in the first half of their seasons and are playing in a climate that they are totally familiar with. You can clearly see that our pla6ers are bolloxed. Even worse if you have an idiot manager in charge who doesn't use his squad appropriately.

Good shout!

Great to see Auckland City grab a draw and a million dollar pay out in their final game against Boca Juniors, who should probably be hanging their heads in shame at that result LOL

For a club whose turnover last year was £488K that is a fabulous additional windfall !

Sign them up !

Some of our lot could certainly use a decent hairstyle LOL

Quietly hoping that Red Bull Salzburg can upset Real Madrid tonight, and if Al-Hilal win as well, then Real are joining Atletico on the plane back to Spain LOL. No less than Florentino Perez deserves after his Super League shenanigans 😀

This Palmeires vs Botafogo game has been a bit sh*t. If I could skip extra time and go straight to penalties, I would.

Finally a bit of quality. 1-0 Palmeiras.

PSG battering Inter Miami. Can't see anything but a PSG vs City final at the moment. It's going to need one of them to have an off day.

Shame. Flamengo gave them a hell of a game.

PSG vs Bayern QF then !

Thiago Silva is one of the greatest CB's I have ever seen. He was brilliant again tonight.

The guy is a joy to watch. Wish we still had him - even at 40.

I watched a bit of the Fluminense match - which I wouldn't have bothered with otherwise - just to catch a glimpse of Thiago Silva.

City getting knocked out was a shock, especially against Al-Hilal. They were looking pretty decent. It just shows that City are still quite fragile.

f**ked in the transition. Much like last season.

Cherki for all the talent, doesn’t run. Silva is old.

Rodri doing the job of 3 people.

Yes I agree .. 🙂... The pundits ALL got it wrong

The refs in this tournament have been absolute sh*t. That was never a penalty for Al-Hilal.

VAR rightly getting involved with this.

Fluminense win, very close game.

Two Brazilian teams stand in our way of getting to the final. It's not gonna be easy, not by a long shot.

Musiala has broken his leg, saw it on the replay.

Donnarumma is 26. He's balding like he's 36

That's his career gone. Jamal's out for 2 years at least

Arguably a penalty should have been given too. Donnarumma went through Musiala to get the ball.
