And never has been. It is a modern con job, gaslighted into existence with a shamelessly rigged match between two of the biggest teams in Europe and an unexpected outcome.
>>149775617 Why are things the way they are? I don't know, but I can call them as I see them. Was anyone hyping up this completely legitimate competition two years ago? No. It didn't exist. If next year's (real) World Cup wasn't taking place in the USA, it still wouldn't.

It was an absolute fucking embarrassment of a tournament.
The old iteration of the Club World Cup was tolerable because it was the champions of each continent.
This shitshow has been embarrassing because of the teams involved, the lack of fans, and the fact that it was inexplicably held concurrently with the Concacaf Gold Cup and regular MLS season
>>149777102 >and the fact that it was inexplicably held concurrently with the Concacaf Gold Cup and regular MLS season The old version was played at the same time as the Premier League or La Liga, I remember Liverpool who had like the best streak ever had to lose it because they were forced to play with their youngsters against Villa because they had to play games in consecutive days Weird way of admitting that the MLS is better than the Premier

no tournament is real, there is no reason we should care about any football competition
>>149780048 indeed. all tournaments are fake, some just have existed for longer. by the way people act with new competitions you'd think god himself has to order their creation.
>>149779426 Best teams in the world my ass, what a burger take Yeah bro 4th place Chelsea with the least relevant european trophy is actualy the best team in the world. Completly arbitraty qualification , yeah bro Porto has a better rating FIFA lets ignore that they almost finished 4th in the tuga league instead of Sporting back to back league winter.

The CL is far less legitimate.
>barely anyone in it won anything to qualify for it >bullshit league format where teams don't play the same teams
And make no mistake, that is by design. those 8 group games will be shipped off overseas within 5 years. the argument will be that since no one team plays the same 7 fixtures, the necessity of them being home and away is no longer there. you'll get your last 16, quarter and semi home leg, and you'll be happy with it.
