FIFA Club World Cup

And that’s why we won’t win the CL.

Wait and see how the refs will threat us in the k.o. Stages.

After the ending to that Barca game, I can’t even argue with you even though I think it comes down to which refs are imposed on us. The one against Lille seemed fine.

What happened in the league stage will be irrelevant in a few weeks. One bad result in the K.O. stage could be enough to end the whole campaign.

Refs in Europe are generally ok with us you get the odd numpty but the same bias isn’t there.

Also FIFA and UEFA mutually hate each other.

Why do I have the feeling they will offer us a Wild Card?

Is anyone able to make sense of this?

Leon qualified for the Club World Cup through the Concacaf cup, but has now been disqualified due to violating rules on multi club ownership. But the other club in question is Pachuca, who play with Leon in Liga Mx. Surely these sorts of FIFA rules also apply to domestic leagues played under the banner of FIFA?

As someone else said, it wouldn’t surprise me if they end up being replaced by a bigger European name.

They have apparently been struggling to sell tickets. I’m almost certain that they want a bigger name involved:

Love how they asked a guy from a company who has a partnership with FIFA.

Yeah he’s going trash it.

They are going have to work out a better system of defining who qualifies mind. Chelsea haven’t been one of the two best sides in England for about 8 years.

I know they got it by winning the CL but that’s close to 4 years ago and sort of like when we won it in 05.

If Barca win the CL I expect they will get the spot.

I don’t give a fuck as long as we’re not involved.

We will one day qualify mind unless we are generally shit for several decades.

Then again our squad next season is Spearing and the youth squad according to some so….
