As Carragher put it, how can it be the best teams when national quotas mean the English, Spanish and Italian champions weren't even competing while Red Bull Salzburg, Juventus, Benfica, Porto, Atletico Madrid all got undeserved entries. Crap like Chelsea got in. Auckland City ffs.

It's a world competition otherwise it'd be 90% UEFA and 10% Conmebol.
But yes it shouldn't exist.... however do FIFA care? No, if the Saudi's are going to pay and Infantino can pad his swiss bank accounts what does he care.

The best teams in Europe already have several competitions now.
The club World Cup is a waste of time/money/resources but it not being another version of the European champions league isn’t a bad thing.

It brings in revenue to the game. I like it, have heard they're looking to make it every two years which I wouldn't like. But every four years it will end up meaning as much as the champions league imo.

What's wrong with Auckland City?

Does it bring revenue in?

Why does everything have to be about revenue anyway? Just because something makes money doesn’t mean it’s good for the sport.

Completely agree and I don't even think it's doing that so it's just bad all round.

Didn't we get in by winning the Champions League?

No chance it'll mean as much as the champions league at any point imo.
It's played in the off season and is just another excuse for clubs to make money.
It's rare I side with the players but some of these guys are now playing obscene amounts of football.

I think the 'it brings in revenue' comment is about bringing in revenue for FIFA. Of course the clubs got paid for playing in it! Between the half empty stadiums, the shambolic TV rights arrangement, and the prize money for clubs it just seems pretty pointless.

From 4 years ago!
It's a joke competition when the current English, Spanish and Italian champions were not included in a club world cup.

I guess if the comp is everyone 4 seasons that fits the criteria doesn't it?

I think its a comp that only the competitor supporters will care about, neutrals will have no interest.

Agree. I didn’t watch a minute of it.

It's up to the clubs to manage players workload.
We.played 5 games, none of our players played in all of them. We had a full break and one pre-season game when we would normally play 3 or 4.

Probably right, but I bet a few that are scathing of the comp will change their view if their sides make it. Definitely expect the media in the UK to have a chance of stance.
