You still watching this shite? 

Grow up 

[deeane Koontz]

Had no idea this lasted for a month. What a stupid idea at the end of the season.

[gonzo]

This is so shit. There's nobody there.

I'm going to bed.

It will be interesting if city and Chelsea go deep into knockout how it affects them next season. Suspect they will start well and run out of steam in the  business end of the season.

Liverpool and Arsenal top 2 again. Following months of bitching and moaning about playing too many games from Pep.

Reckon Auckland drawing with Boca takes that. 
 

Inter look like they’ve made the money the club have asked of em. Ready to go home ha.

[Wullie]

Not watched any of it, get my updates on here 

[FrancisFogarty]

Watched a bit of Inter (?). one goal,5 bookings, not a bad tackle to be seen. Left after that. Nothing more to report.

It's shite.

 

[L/H White]

Jesus is this still going on?

I have to admit I haven't been paying enough attention to be aware of that result 😁

And yeah, I can't imagine Inter's players were keen to travel to the US for this after the season they had

Interesting read. Hard to argue with it. Regardless of the argument around how much they're paid.

City out, bossed the first half but Th’Arabs full value for the win after extra time. Of course Al Hijab have a top manager, decent players and used to the conditions. City weak on crosses. Pep and the players trying to act as they’re pissed off but will enjoy the two weeks extra rest/holiday 

[Stig]

Annoyingly this kind of result gives FIFA an angle to try to legitimise the tournament, by claiming it's competitive across the different continents.

But it does, again, question Citeh's ability to adapt.

Pep ball is shot*, does he have it in him to change.

.

*admittedly I wish we 'failed' at this level.

Cameraman doing his job tonight 👏 

[gonzo]

Guirassy is some unit for Dortmund.

Surprised nobody has offered a pile of dosh for him.

 

[bolty58]

Haven't been paying much attention (before L/H White gets on his high horse just because Liverpool failed to qualify) but this looks to me like Madrid will want this.

Inaugural Champions of Europe beating Stade de Reims; inaugural World Club Champions beating Penarol. I can see them wanting this badly.

Diogo Jota sadly died in a car crash this morning rip

Was it a break? Saw he went off injured on the report.

[gonzo]

Great right peg has Trent

[peelyfeet]

Gail Platt has just come on.

 

[gonzo]

Been ace watching these tactics from Alonso tonight.

It's hard to keep track on them.

Can't imagine trying to play against it.
