The level of effort (and team selections) will be interesting to see. Once you’re there though the prize money becomes difficult to resist, especially given Chelsea’s PSR issues…

The prize money for the Club World Cup is considerable, I remember reading, so there’s that incentive. Looking at a wider perspective, getting rid of cup replays and punching down on the FA Cup and then teams going on overseas money making tours, is just so backwards. There is too much football - including end-of-season internationals. Saying that, the Nations League game between Spain and Portugal - with Pedri, Lamine, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha etc all playing - was great. It’s just a battle between UEFA and FIFA now for getting eyes on their “product” and making that advertising cheese. Get more joy from playing masters football now and when my little one is older so I can take him along to the local grassroots club.
This is very funny

Similair - Even if not interested in Forest , I believe in Miracles is such a great film about late 70s football

100% agree.
For me it’s been a gradual losing of interest over the last 20 odd years; the realisation that you now have to spend almost as much time following international business and finance (and latterly geopolitics) and all that associated bollocks just to find out who owns your club.
