25/26 - Non Saints Games

[AlexLaw76]

Just have the PSG v Miami game on. First time I have watched a club World Cup game live.

it is like a training match, attack v defence. Not sure Messi has touched the ball.

3-0 to PSG just before HT

edit - 4-0 in 1st half injury time

I’m watching too, second game I’ve watched in it. Ridiculously one sided again as the last one was 4-0 to PSG at HT this could easily end double figures the gap in quality of ridiculous and this is the knockout rounds

I genuinely don’t know anyone that has watched the Club World Cup. Even some of my die hard football friends that live and breathe it couldn’t care less. 😂

Not seen a kick of it. As much interest as I had in it's previous format.

Me either. Just seems to be a case of rich get richer and get to batter some shitter teams. I doubt many people outside the supporters of those clubs, or their plastic fans from across the world, or the media, could care about it - not like International football.

I've watched bits of a couple of games but the games mean nothing to me. And the TV coverage is poor. Like most TV screenings these days the director doesn't 'get' football with too many different camera angles,  endless replays of nothing and shots of the managers,  the crowd, anything except what's actually happening on the pitch.

It's designed for background showing in an American style sports bar where you only need to look up from your buffalo wings if a goal is scored or there's a penalty..

Is that where refs sit on a bed looking sultry and then start to take their kit off?

Kyle Walker to Burnley is weird.

Good signing though, need to spend big to try and stay up, especially with Brentford and I feel Bournemouth to struggle this season gives a good chance.

On paper yeah, given his experience, but I personally think his legs have gone. I don't think he has top level in his locker anymore if I'm honest. 3-4 years ago he was top, quick, powerful, but he's not the same anymore.

Feels a bit Micah Richards to Villa. We'll see how it pans out.

Not so sure now, feels like Des Walker after Overmars destroyed him. Just like his namesake I don’t think he’s anywhere near the player he once was without that pace.

Thing is at Burnley he won't be maurading up and down the wing, he is a solid enough defender and gives some quality for Burnley who will sit back more than when he is playing for City, Milan or England. The legs aren't what they used to be but won't be such a problem there.

[Lighthouse]

If you’re going to sign a has been with big club experience, Walker is a hundred times better shout than us signing Lallana last season. They’ll be hoping he can do what Zabaleta did for the Hammers.

Nasty leg break for Musiala by looks of it, what a waste in a completely pointless unwanted tournament.

Think of the money all the sponsors and big corps are making though, it's a winner for them.

But I agree with you, it's just a pointless waste of time tournament. Nothing about it is to do with football which is why I've had no interest in it.

[suewhistle]

I've not followed Infantino's time waster at all but now off to the pub to watch England v France, where all the players _will_ be taking it seriously.

[ChristopheVAFC]

I hope you enjoy the match, my friends.

May the best win!

England women cart horses continually giving the ball away and being outclassed by France. Big second half needed but not sure England have it in them.

The PL should stream those 10 games and give the revenue to the state. Now that's a way of filling the ten trillion pound black hole!

Watched PSG v Real Madrid and this PSG team is something else. Absolutely outclassed Real Madrid, there were a joy to watch like Barcelona 2008-12 with quick pass and move in midfield but then dynamic quick, skillful forwards who Real couldn’t live with. They are levels above anyone else right now

Didn’t watch them yesterday but yes  Enrique seem to have the perfect mix that has just clicked. Really enjoyable to watch. Nice to have a different team than usual dominate albeit funded by petrol dollars. To think they nearly didn’t get out of CL group stage as well

Yes indeed. Everything that British football used to be until the theoreticians got involved.
