I don't know, it looked glitzy. Was on a stream of a US broadcast, on a tournament based in the country. Would suprise me if they outsourced that sort of thing to here, fair play if they do.

Of the few matches I've seen, I've been quite impressed. And I don't think it's any coincidence that all of those have involved South American teams.

 

Yesterday, despite Real's 3-1 win, Pachuca gave them a decent go. Boca, Botafogo & Fluminense games have been entertaining.

 

On the flip side, Chelsea have been boring. Man City aren't bothered but still win easily.

Will probably watch the Athletico Madrid v Botafogo game tonight not seen any games yet, I think Atheltico are pretty out though are they not ?

Nah they can draw and hope PSG lose, or win and hope PSG only draw/lose.

A ref goes against VAR for once ?!

 

I  see Bellingham Snr has criticised the pitches .

Guess the dry hot weather wouldn’t help . 
 

 Atletico Madrid out .
 

They probably won’t be that fussed either .

Won 2 games so not like it was a disaster .

Are many of you watching this religiously every game? Everyone I have spoken to aren't that bothered. I'll be intrigued by the viewing figures. 

 

The prize money is ridiculous. Another shot to the normal teams in each of the leagues who have to sell to raise money for psr

Been putting the odd game on in the background, via a stream so as not to add to viewing figures. I’m looking out for games not involving European teams tho

Sometimes watch a bit of the 11pm game. 

 

Would occasionally catch the 5pm games too. 

 

One of those tournaments where I won't go out of my way to watch it, and won't feel like I'm missing a game if I'm busy.

I'm watching on and off a few games but switch right away when the Spanish and Italian basketball finals are on. 

Whole thing it's a farce but it's really strange the majority of teams and players play with intensity and seem to care about it. Money talks. 

Can't wait for all these to start moaning around December about the number of games and accusing FIFA/UEFA for the serious injuries. Tbh I don't care even if they start collapsing left and right. Their choice.

I think for most fans it seems more like a glamorous pre season event, but if I was a player, winning this would be amazing to look back on.

 

I hope it don't, but if this continues to grow it will be seen as more prestigious in years to come.

The gap keeps on getting wider

 

How Club World Cup is paying for Man City and Chelsea's summer signings

 

Manchester City and Chelsea are already quids in from playing in the Fifa Club World Cup - and they could yet end up earning loads more.

Some of their summer signings' transfer fees have even already been paid off.

With near-empty stadiums, extreme weather conditions and poor pitches dominating the news agenda during the group stages of the competition, it is easy to overlook just how much money clubs are earning as the tournament goes on.

Some teams pocketed tens of millions just for qualifying.

BBC Sport looks at how much you can earn at the Club World Cup - and how much the English teams have made already.

 

How does the prize money work?
If Manchester City win the tournament they would land about £92m in total - but Chelsea would earn slightly less.

The potential prize money was initially reported as £97m but the exchange rate between US dollars and British pounds has changed since then.

Teams get a participation fee for playing, which for European teams varies depending on "sporting and commercial criteria".

City's fee is the maximum of £27.9m. Chelsea are on the upper end of the scale but do not get quite as much, BBC Sport has been told.

Both teams qualified for the tournament by winning the Champions League in the past four seasons.

Teams from North America, Africa, Asia and Oceania get just under £7m, with South American clubs landing about £11m.

The prize money rises depending how far you go (regardless of which continent you are from).

In the group stages, wins are worth almost £1.5m, with about £750,000 for a draw

Reaching the last 16 earns clubs £5.5m

The quarter-finals are worth £9.6m

A semi-final spot lands teams another £15.3m

Reaching the final and losing is £21.9m

Winning the competition is worth £29.2m

The total prize pot Fifa has offered is $1bn (£730m), which is believed to be a record amount.
