The Club World Club

Some Kopites chortling already about dee oil club and Trump...


Own it Tory club...

 

[Andyramone]

really a perfect ending to a clown show

Never watched a minute of it , looking forward to the players being "tired " around November. I'd honestly rather watch cricket or peat forming.

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?

Good point. Get in contact with the Friedmans and suggest it!

We'd probably still come 2nd in a competition of just us though.

I'm sure Infantino and co are already plotting out the next cash grab to chip away at the soul of football. Hate it so much.

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.

My Sunday league team cup has more respect than this shame tourney

 

[Everton1654]

The outrage about Enrique and nothing about a grown man immediately curling into the fetal position after a hand brushes his neck.

You don't see these theatrics in any other sport.

Also why did he go down like that after the final whistle, did he think he would get a penalty or is it just muscle memory now to go down no matter when you get touched on the pitch.

Best thing Trump has ever done was staying on that podium during the presentation

 

[MikeyMike]

The World Club Cup mostly passed me by, but that first half was spectacular from Chelsea. To see PSG torn apart like that was jaw-droppping, and if you think it didn't matter to the players and the coaches, then you didn't watch it.

Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro looked unstoppable - and then they brought on Liam Delap, who presented a whole new load of problems for the European champions.

And, as someone has already said, if that was the RS we wouldn't have heard the end of it for the next four years. Parades, documentaries, setting fire to buildings, the lot.

Also, Trump on the podium was absolutely classic, hilarious stuff.

A supposedly top world competition entertainment (according to the showrunner) has only got (not quite) double the pages here, after a month, of the discussion involving Everton signing a back up goalkeeper over the last week or two.

Make of that what you will.

 

[Nymzee]

No way they keep this to every 4 years.

Many of the best teams in the world fighting it out for a trophy and Chelsea won it. That's a fantastic feather in their cap.

Do you think that tournament is any less credible than the CL? If so, why?

Nope, it'll become a way to continue feeding money to the sky teams and ensuring they get their circus around the world. It's essentially testing the waters for a Super Cup, instead of the Super League. The clubs not involved will love the thought of being involved, loads of money coming in, increase in sponsorships off the back of it and more exposure.

I don't know how many more nails the coffin needs.

hang on… Chelsea win a glorified summer tournament funded by FIFA’s latest money-printing scheme, and suddenly we’re meant to lap up Dave’s new footy hierarchy?

This isn’t bias — it’s just reality. PSG’s payroll is €658 million a year. Chelsea and are consistently under EUFA investigation and domestically and have laid out over $1 billion in transfer fees. This is like preferring to celebrate Myra Hindley’s birthdays instead of Adolf Hitler’s — as if one is somehow more respectable because their PR is quieter. Same horror, different face.

The CL isn’t invite only.
