Not to sound like Pep but players don't get a rest do they. We've just had International games, straight after the season ends, and now we're onto this pointless Club World Cup "competition".

 

Players should all be resting ahead of the new season, which will come round really soon.

Yep pretty much 4 years of non stop football, Euro 24, club world cup 25, World cup 26. More players getting injured and most playing at 60/70% of their full capability. 

There are still loads of tickets for this, had a glance yesterday out of interest and you can go to Chelsea's match v LA for $30 LOL. Even the final has 1000s on general sale.

Who is broadcasting this in the UK?

DAZN & Channel 5. 

 

It is a waste of time and players are played far too much but you have to acknowledge that to the other continents this is so big for them. The South American and African teams in particular are bang up for this.

It probably sums how much real interest there is when none of the big channels have picked it up .

I hope the attendances are absolutely terrible. If there's one thing that'll suck the sense of occasion out of this it'll be a sea of empty seats and no atmosphere.

 

A vanity competition created because Infantino is jealous of UEFA, funded by the Saudis and hosted in a country deploying the armed forces on its own citizens. What could be better?

 

Oh, the prize money will probably also propel or continue the dominance of several teams in their domestic/continental leagues. That's what could be better.

This is FIFA being envious of all the money EUFA rake in for their EURO comps and wanting a slice of the pie.

Genuinely think Infantino is worse than Blatter. Somehow he's got that Donald Trump thing where he gets away with everything by being so absurdly blatant? It's a bit mad.

Infantino even has his name inscribed on the trophy

I'm glad its on Channel 5, gives it the respect it deserves.

 

That said, we'll all end up watching the odd match here and there due to lack of football won't we? :(

That being said, I'll be watching some/most of the games. Rare you get a chance to watch south american vs european teams.

Don't buy into this overworked players shit. Squad sizes are absolutely huge these days and they're all being paid obscene money. STFU and get on with it

The winners will earn around $125m, so it's pretty big for clubs in terms of hitting PSR. Absolutely insane money being tossed around for this.

 

A billion dollars, most of which will be going to clubs that have more money given to them than most could dream of.

 

Total prize money pot: USD 1 billion, comprised of a sporting performance pillar of USD 475 million and a participation pillar of USD 525 million.

Sporting performance pillar: USD 475 million

STAGE PER CLUB
Group Stage (three matches) USD 2.0 million win/1.0 million draw per club
Round of 16 + USD 7.5 million
Quarter-final + USD 13.125 million
Semi-final + USD 21.0 million
Finalist + USD 30.0 million
Winner + USD 40.0 million

Participation pillar: USD 525 million

CONTINENT PER CLUB
Europe USD 12.81-38.19 million *
South America USD 15.21 million
North, Central America & Caribbean USD 9.55 million
Asia USD 9.55 million
Africa USD 9.55 million
Oceania USD 3.58 million

Honestly no. I hate end of season stuff. It's been so dire I genuinely want the break from football.

 

Champions League final should be the end of the year, all of this post-season friendlies, post-season club tournaments, post-season internationals, absolute muck. Don't want any of it.

 

Obviously the World Cup or the Euros is an exception but even then you get a bit of a break before that starts don't you.

Just another load of glorified friendly's, is it just Man City and Chelsea that have entered ? if there managers are moaning then why enter in the first place.

They haven't entered, they qualified for it. There's so much money involved that these businesses have to take part in it and take it seriously.
