Is the hotness really affecting their performance that much? Either that or they’re treating these games as friendly matches and not even trying which wouldn’t make sense since they’re being paid more money with each win.

because they don't care
get this through your head

>>149319679 (OP)
They do fucking care. They want me to lose as much money as possible. I have yet to win a single cent betting on this tournament. Fuck these worthless clowns. They're making Flamengo richer too.

>>149319679 (OP)
maybe they're actually shit?

>>149319689
Why wouldn’t you care? It’s free money.

>>149319679 (OP)
the same reason germany is the only european country to win a world cup in the americas

>>149319679 (OP)
we don't care + mickey mouse cup + it's too hot + worst Porto/Borussia/Benfica/PSG/Chelsea of all time + we're too tired + jet lag + grass is too dry + humidity it's too high + we don't want our players to get injured + we're droping out early to prepare for next season + we're not sending our best teams + it doesn't pay enough + the sun is blinding the players + the crowds are too distracting + the pitches are smaller than we're used to + american food is low quality + FIFA is rigging the matches to make it more interesting + people are only watching because it's free here + less searches in Google than tennis

It's a silent protest

It's too hot, they are too tired after a long grueling season, they don't care about this burgercamel tinpot cup

Serves you right fucko

Modern Europeans have hormonal imbalances that prevent them from pursuing victory with the simple motivation of being better than others, it's pointless to explain to them why winning is good in itself and losing is bad, you'd have to contextualize it

>>149319679 (OP)
they thought these were a comfy vacations and not a competition so they underestimated their opponents. I don't buy the " they don't care" argument because athletes are mostly retarded and ubercompetitve

>>149319803
>a long grueling season
>in europe
What a fucking joke. Maybe for EPL teams that also went far in european comps like Chelsea, Tottehan and Arsenal. But for teams like Madrid and PSG, that can play 70% of their league matches with the B or C teams... It's a skill issue to have anyone tired right now. Same for the portuguese clubs, their league is a joke and they don't even go far in the continental tournaments.

>>149319894
looool unironically half the posts from European flags on the board rn are "we don't care about winning in this context!!!"

>>149319689
Lmao

>>149319679 (OP)
Because nobody gives a fuck about it

I mean this sincerely, not a single football fan in my office has even mentioned it

>>149320356
They're more into cricket I assume.

>>149320356
I’ve heard that modern british workers prefer to play cricket, shit on streets and scam old ladies with google gift cards instead of watching footie.

>>149320492
You can cope all you want but the reality is it's just not a topic of conversation over here, rivals are happy chelsea and city will have no rest and be tired in the new season.

No British tv channels even bid to show it, channel 5 got it for free

>>149320356
they are probably too busy grooming underage girls

>>149320356
England is not too fond of football though, zero world cups and billion euro failed clubs, also jeets usually like cricket.

UEFA CWC participant can win $125M for just advancing out of the group stage, plus additional $25M if they won every single match in their group.
So the difference between going through with minimal effort and actually trying is about the same as the prize that Slovan Bratislava received for losing every single Champion's League match this season and being dead last, which was circa 20M euros iirc. So for a club like Chelsea? It's pennies. They don't care.
Some clubs had the same attitude in the Conference League, like Betis which reached the final but was merely like 10th in the league stage because they knew they can beat most of the shitter clubs in the KO stage anyway.

>>149320803
they care because ir can help their psr, Chelsea did not play Champions league for example. Also the money for winning it is quite a lot. in total it can be like 150 mill that's more than winning the CL.

>>149320356
They're too embarassed to bring it up

>>149320356
Premier league didn't have any interesting games until flamerda vs.chelshit

>>149320748
>no u
pathetic monkey noises.
Dont @ at me you stupid nigger with internet access.

>>149320947
Winning may be worth it but to have a shot at that they merely need to get out of the group stage, not tryhard to beat everyone in their group. So I can totally understand when clubs that actually have a chance to win the whole thing, like PSG, Man City or Chelsea, try to go through the first matches with mininal effort.
What I don't understand is Porto getting buttfucked out of the tournament so early, the money for just participating in Ro16 is well worth the effort. I guess they are just not that good. Or their group was rigged for Riggitini.

>>149321202
>Chelsea
>Chance to win
Lol, lmao even

>>149319679 (OP)
Chelsea simply aren't very good, as for others it comes down to the spic teams wanting it more and they usually play a pseudo home game with the stadiums consisting of mostly their fans

>>149320647

Serious question, is the club world cup seen as a prestigious thing in other confederations?
