Are you hyped?
The biggest football tournament nobody cared about is getting a revamp in an attempt to become relevant.

They should've just kept the Confederations Cup and expanded it to 16 teams.

>>149172165
There aren't 16 confederations in the world dipshit

>>149172192
invite the finalists alongside the winner of the continental titles. They did with Italy in 2013 when Spain won both the World Cup and the Euros.

>>149172216
Dude, the confederation cup is a tournament for countries, not clubs

FIFA should have made club world cup 256 teams, 5 swiss stages for last 32 teams who will play knockout stage with first to 7 wins and whatever nonsense minor league soccer can offer

>>149172221
and you don't understand the cup was scrapped to host a club world cup, instead.

>>149172309
Ok, but that's irrelevant to you original point

>>149172135 (OP)
>literal whos and farmers vs the biggest clubs in the world
This tournament will suck so hard

Cant wait for the baldest of all frauds to call it "the greatest (club) world cup ever" once it's finished.

Who will be the biggest upset of the group stage?

>>149172135 (OP)
>Are you hyped?
Overall yes, but the group stage has some really interesting matches. And what retard thought it was a good idea to kickstart it with Inter Miami against a nobody team?

>>149175875
>interesting
Uninteresting*

>>149172135 (OP)
Hey OP you can't use /cwc/ on here it's already taken, check the archives. You'll have to use something else next thread

>>149175875
The bald fraud thought riggi burger would engage a lot of fans in Miami and now he is giving free tickets at universities

>>149172135 (OP)
i was never interested in chris chan i just found him depressing but it was funny when he fucked his mum and then ethan ralph screamed at him as he got arrested in a motel

I'm gonna hate watching the shit out of this

>>149172135 (OP)
>the games will be on at 2 in the morning for people in Europe
Cunts get comfy morning/midday Prem and UCL matches over there so they can watch a game then get on with their day, but then pull this shit on us.
No respect.

>>149176211
The people that obsess over him are equally creepy imo
Sure the guy is demented but why have you watched a 100+ episodic series socumentary of every aspect of his life

>>149178343
>rentboys

Anyone playing the worst fantasy of all time where you don't even recognise half of the players?

>>149175875
Pissi scores the first goal. They'll rig it so that Inter Miami beat Real Madrid 1-0 in the final and Riggi is confirmed as the greatest player in the history of world football.

I'll post about niggers and clown month

>>149186632
You'd probably have a different chat. This one is full of Europeans

Brazilians enter the wild frontier of Lightest Africa

Nobody was willing to kill me for wearing a Flamingo shirt in Times Square

Everyone is such big shit online it was a threat the NFL addressed. I am not an NFL All Pro and nobody tried to hurt me

>>149192213
They are not rivals

Guys I don't want to be too controversial, but I think a club from Europe will win this.

/FIFA-CWC/

I want one

>>149195281
/fcwc/ is fine, or /afcwc/ if you want to be pedantic. Both are nice

Lmao this is the dumbest shit ever

where's the hype though? this thread is reminding about posting on the sharty back in the 4chan acked days

>>149175908
>>149195281
cricket world cup isn't on right now though

>>149194060
isn't that what you guys call the World Cup? jw

Fuck off, nobody cares about your shittier, and even gayer version of baseball

btw, did FIFA actually reduce fixture congestion with this tournament?

>no confed cup
>no cwc every year

>Fuck off, nobody cares about your shittier, and even gayer version of baseball
fuck yeah

Please don't come to Carroll Gardens or Astoria at that hour. Don't decide to party outside the UN.

Literal rape, holy shit

I'm bored so I guess I'll watch Bayern 20-0 aussies

>>149202705
Well makes sense.

>>149202872
>aussies
They're actually kiwis, my bad

>>149202289
Hey arsehole everyone is trying to be chill and all get along and respect each other and be respectful to other sports. I guess what I want to tell you is don't start a fight for no reason and the fact that /cwc/ already exists means you fucking faggots can't have it so pick something else or fuck off

She cute

>>149202187
Fifa said they'll get punished, including fined for playing kids/b teams, literally forced to field the best in summer for the baldy Infantino's ego

new meme: everyone loves this tournament, it's just the Anglos being backward as usual

>>149203231
looks like everyone is excited for this game, thanks Infantino

>>149172135 (OP)
I won't be able to follow some matches due to time difference (inaugural match took place at 2 in the bloody morning)

>>149202187
I can't wait for kane to get a 12 month injury for this

Only worth watching the Auckland City matches

It'll be like Tahiti all those years ago at the Confederations Cup

>>149203231
How many Auckland fans are there?

auckland are shit so how should we do the qualifying instead?

>12 spots europe
>10 spots to south america
>3/3/3 spots to north america, asia, africa
>none to oceania
>winner of host country's league

>>149203305
The cutie >>149203189 was asked that question. She said she heard some last night at dinner but that only Germans right now.

>>149203331
Just admit Australia is part of oceania

>>149203353
I never knew we had the influence of convincing the rest of the world to also give 0 shits about this tournament

>>149203469
It's only a relevant tournament if the 17th best team in the Premiership is in it

Montenegro television cares so much about football that they're the only ones airing this event

So Real Madrid is the only serious contender?
Is City going to try?

>>149202289
probably even less people give a shit about this cup

The prestige of the Rose Bowl comes from the backdrop
On New Years Day, while the rest of the country is cold and snowy, the Rose Bowl is played and at the end of the game it has this majestic backdrop as the sunsets
That does not exist in June at noon. It's just a shitty stadium in the pit of hell
What the fuck were they thinking?

>>149208165
Seethe more flyover scum

>>149208165
the what?

>>149208273
Does this not look miserable to you?

>buyern in a seal clubbing match against some kiwis lacking half their staff hosted in an empty stadium by a country that couldn't give less of a shit about soccerball
what is this clown show

Literally empty

Why the fuck would they host this shit in USA? Wouldn't it make more sense to keep this in Europe?

>have to watch your team play at 3 am
Fuck off

>>149209349
makes me sad and unhyped

>>149202059
World cup = copa do mundo
Cwc = mundial

>>149209614
it's just a dress rehearsal for the real world cup

Friendly reminder

>>149172135 (OP)
it’s flopping so hard that they’re definitely going to rig pessi and co into the knockouts. it’s the only way they can save it

>>149172323
I think you just didn't understand him.
He was saying that if FIFA wanted a bigger tournament they should have just expanded the confederations cup rather than bringing about this revamped CWC

Botafogo x seattle was kino, best match so far

>>149195545
It looks like the thing on Portugal's flag

>>149202388
>btw, did FIFA actually reduce fixture congestion with this tournament?
Increased it for most top tier players
5 Portuguese PSG players went from French League to French Cup to UCL to Nations League to CWC with no rest

>>149225622
It's an armillary sphere in our flag and you are correct lmao

>>149202388
>no cwc every year
There's the revamped intercontinental cup which is just old cwc

as far as i can tell this is just thirdies with an inferiority complex hyping up something nobody else cares about

PALMEIRAS?

>>149225649
Yeah I recognized it because of the huge one in Macao. Hard to forget about it.

>>149225669
>something nobody else cares about

What are you talking about that you say that "nobody else cares about"?

>>149225709
Seems like a chikaner post, just ignore it

>>149225669
>something nobody else cares about

American Football? Something that "nobody else cares about" besides the United States people?

Stop answering the chikaner stupid

>>149225722
>>149225744
Mexicans love Futbol... What are you dudes saying?...

>>149225786
He pretends to be other countries and spams the entire board, stop engaging until he get banned

>mls teams in this tournament are 10th, 13th, and 14th in the league right now
Every other league in the world the top 3 are same exact teams every year, but MLS gets shit on in concacrap champions and tournaments like this because there's too much parity and year-to-year turnover.

>>149226100
The only current champions of European leagues playing on this tournament are PSG and Bayern.

>>149226100
National League South is kind of similar here. It's because the teams are all equally shit

>>149178343
that's some shit i would expect from check krealish

>>149226649
United and Spurs finished 15th and 17th last year.

>no Cuiabá
>no Redbull
>no Ponte Preta
>no Flamengo-Amazonas
paper tournament

>>149202898
OP here, screw you for trying to unite everyone against me.
People literally out here seething that they can't call me Indian.

>>149228248
i've no idea what any of this means, Brazilbro

>>149228967
damn, why didn't I pass any of those milestones?

>>149172135 (OP)
Lads, what are we thinking of today's schedule? We have two potential kino matches and a certified slurper

>>149229139
i'm thinking our Chelsea lot will do your LA lot right up the shitter

>>149229139
Boquita x Benfica is the good match today
