FIFA Club World Cup( watch free on DAZN or TNT )

There are obvious benefits to being mid-season as opposed to at the end of it. A rule that applies to all athletic endeavours.

In DH Lawrence’s classic, Cliff Chatterley’s concoction of bitter leaf and dogoyaro, brought his soldier upright and out of the trench for a full 6 minutes. Had Lady Constance called for his “pulling up to the bumper” at 3 minutes and 45, he’d have duly obliged.

Shrivelled and shrunk, seven minutes in, it was an impossibility. By the eight minute mark, a mid-shift Olly Mellors was playing out from the back like the Selecao of the 70s. Oooooooh, Oariá raiô, Obá obá obá!!!

There's only one Mundial...

I hope you watch Jordan vs New Zealand next year...or Uzbekistan vs Qatar etc.

"I said many times, the season was not good," said Guardiola. "When you finish third in the Premier League to qualify for the Champions League, it means 70 teams were worse than us. …

"Winning this competition (Club WC) is not going to change that but my mindset at the moment is not about winning the competition. We can extend our time here, being here longer. For the South American teams, the competition may be the maximum. For European teams, it is [just] a World Cup."

Al-Ain manager Vladimir Ivic, formerly of Watford said: "When you play against the best ones, you want to be the best of yourself.
"I am sure my players will give the maximum, trying from the first until the last, to show themselves the best way against the best one. We have to believe in ourselves and my team."

Looking forward to watching Juve again today. Tudor did a fantastic job last game and he seemed to drop some big names, focusing on chemistry. Really impressed by how he has converted Savona into a CCB.

The player I really want to see again, aside from Savona is Alberto Costa!

[Bigpokey24]

Juve has a very young team . I hope they sign VO9

[danfo driver]

What a goal! This Juve is impressing me

[wiseone]

Props to Sundowns for giving Dortmund a scare. They could have won the game but for their boneheaded decision "to play out from the back" - AKA passing the ball straight to Dortmund players on the edge of their own penalty area. Dortmund's first 2 goals came from Sundowns faffing about with the ball in their area rather than clearing it.

What on earth was the Sundowns GK Ronwen Williams doing here?! (see 1:00) That is footballing suicide.

2-0! Yildiz putting on a clinic

[danfo driver]

Lorch with a fantastic goal! 2-1.

Juve defended poorly there

[wiseone]

It is good to see so many South American players return home from Europe to play in their domestic leagues (eg. Cavani, Tevez, Mark Red, Danilo, Jorginho, Alex Telles, and even the Boca VP Juan Roman Riquelme).

It would be great if more of Nigeria's Europe based professionals could emulate them by returning to Nigeria at the end of their careers to play in the NPFL.

Arambat can pass Sha. This is the older Arambat

[Bigpokey24]

What a goal

[danfo driver]

Yildiz scores again. Should have beena. hattrick, but for the first goal being called as an owngoal

[Bigpokey24]

Make all these African teams go sidon, they are all regional and proper rubbish. Not one single CAF club has been impressive. 2025 , still rubbish. Many will be 3 games and put next year.

The gulf in class between European, South American and the rest of the pretenders continues

[danfo driver]

Juve scores a penalty (Vlahovic) - 4-1

I will.

Better than watching Chelsea vs Duckland

[danfo driver]

LOL. watching the first 5 minutes of Madrid v Pachuca and I just realized how much I despise Bellingham as a player. His style is so not to my liking at all

[danfo driver]

LOL Ascensio isnt ready to play football at this level, clearly. His childishness in the first game was penalty and now red card.

[Bigpokey24]

What a baller Jude is

[Bigpokey24]

2-0

[smallpikin]

Pachuca are hopelessly poor. With a man extra, they seem out of their depth.

[Bigpokey24]

pachuca is proper rubbish

[Coach]

pachuca is proper rubbish

Another bunch of jabronis making up the numbers. ICE will presumably escort those substituted directly to the borders. Nonsense. The European Super League will arrive in the business rounds.
