The Club World Club

This is so weird.

really a perfect ending to a clown show

Anyway, basketball is equally as bad for example, as are almost all contact team sports - hockey has it as well even tho it's a sport which basically encourages fighting.

Those two sports have some flopping to get fouls called, but they don’t act out nearly as much as football. All rolling around on the floor and getting stretchered off only to magically be healed a minute later.

Except that was done for charity, not vast enormous disproportionate league-competition ruining wealth for one team.

Chelsea already had that. They’ve spent literal billions over the past couple of years. Nothing will change with this for them.

It’s such an easy fix.
1. Stop the clock to get rid of the stupidity of added time.
2. If you require the game to stop on account of your being “hurt”, your team gets two with no punishment, and every time after you’re either subbed off or you’re off the pitch for the next 2 minutes…Would clean it right up.

The Ultimate plastic club winning the Ultimate plastic trophy.

However, I hope we win it in 4 years.

They've sold all their hotels now (as if that should change anything ffs) It recharges their position regarding ffp.

Could club owners not come together and organise their own invite only pre season tournament where through sponsorship by their own companies, they provide obscene amounts of prize money.

Like clubs with American owners could get together and only invite each other and all stump up the same cash and just ensure it gets spread evenly to the clubs involved.

So we are doing the PL pre season tournament where, and I bet prize money is just a couple of mill or something. What’s stopping us doing our own where prize money is £100m?

PSR nullifying sham sand money “competition” between scabs from every continent.

Glad I never watched a second of the farce.

Having that orange coloured turd of a human front and centre at the end summed it up.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Not watched a minute. People have said for years that football is a business. However this has just been pure business

Actually, pure capitalism. As in rigged in favour of the super rich.

 

[Charro]

Go on, then tell me which sport is worse for it.

Have you been watching any of the England india test?

 

[davids]

It is effectively. That's the only continent who ever wins it

Didn't some random Brazilian team beat the rs in it in the 80s ?

As much as I thought Klopp was very opinionated he was bang on the money with this.
This is WWE in football form.

A broken clock is right twice a day.

The asthma savant had sold his soul a long time ago, and he’s just as much of a sell out working for energy drink sports.

Replace the name Chelsea with Liverpool and this inaugural Club World Championship would be transformed into the greatest prize in club football.

Not sure what Chelsea have to do to get some respect for winning a tournament held over the best part of a month full of the best teams in the world.

The Kopites and their media machine would have had a week long celebration for world domination if it'd have been them. We all know it.

Well done Chelsea. GLOBAL ROYALTY.

Following rugby’s example is something I’ve espoused on GOT for many many years. Player safety really. If someone falls to the ground clutching their head they could be concussed , so off they go for a 10 minute “ HIA”, head injury assessment where a doctor determines if they’re allowed back on or not. A replacement is used until/ if they’re allowed to return.
