I’m still trying to understand how they are making money off this thing

They can't be. I try to watch all the Chelsea I can. Pre-season friendlies, youth squads, all Women's and Men's matches, and I'm not even interested in watching this thing today. It's such a dumb idea.

Umm, World means world, Auckland FC were the best team in their region so why that hate?

And these semi-professionals are getting the games of their lives playing against top tier clubs.

As I understand the Kiwi pro teams play in the Aussie league and Auckland City dominates the Oceania region.

Don't look at the score, that's expected. Look at the exposure AFC are getting and the experience the players are getting. You have players that never expected to play against their potential heroes in any circumstance so they're doing something that will probably never happen again.

And anyone who shows up, they could end up with a professional contract through exposure.

There was a decent write-up on ACFC. These are all people that have real jobs and paid at least part of their own way to get to tournament. Where I am located, there was a certain MLS club that wore t-shirts protesting the player portion of the payout for participating in the FIFA Club World Cup.

Yes, 2 teams play in the A-League, Wellington Phoenix and Auckland FC, rest are Australian teams.

I haven’t verified on Ticketmaster, but from what I’m hearing from my friend in Atlanta, who is part of the Latin America community down there they aren’t excited about it either

Wake me up when it’s either done or Berhalter lets his team hit a line progressing pass, lol


(I joke but it’s cool they wil get a soccer specific stadium)
 
Some of these team in the FIFA Club WC don’t like the heat

 
I love the shithousery, but if you do this you can get beat 3-1 lol

 
@Scooby45

You need to start doing this when you ref a game, :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

 
Lamine Yamal out here living his best life, lol....

 
I’ll be curious to see how Marsh has Canada play later tonight. I think they are the best set up to win the Gold Cup

Yes he does and why I wanted him for the USMNT. For some reason he rubbed the federation wrong and was bypassed.

That Canadian national team doesn't have any better talent than we do and that includes our "B" team. Marsh is just extracting every ounce of national pride and talent they have and it is showing on the pitch. Everything I saw last night was what I envisioned the USMNT to be.
 
A solid day of Futbol on tv today.

Not sure, but CONCACAF teams and that is always full of dark arts and shithousery, lol
