Ich warte drauf, dass die ICE (Grenz/Abschiebebehörde), die ja auch Security beim Turnier macht, aus Versehen Spieler von teilnehmenden Vereinen deportieren.
Dann haben unsere Gegner aus Südamerika beispielsweise plötzlich nur noch den halben Kader und unsere Gruppenphase wird nochmal einfacher.
Sorry für den Zynismus.
Konnte ich mir nicht verkneifen
Ist einfach alles verrückt.
Big clubs not here are already asking for a 48 club world cup. Shows what a huge and important tournament CWC has become already
Dann ist ja für einen Verein wie Auckland jeder Punkt Gold wert.
Alternative view: bean counters only see 
It’s not important in a sense of the tournament itself.
It’s just the moneypool which makes it interesting for the clubs.
I like the idea of it too, but the players already have too many games too play and now we’re loosing like the one free summer every two years they have.
Not to talk about it killing the squads for the U21 Euros and also the women’s euros loosing focus because of this tournament
So weit wird es und braucht es gar nicht kommen. Ich denke eher es wird noch leerere Stadien zu Folge haben, da alle Menschen mit Brauner Haut unter General Verdacht stehen ‘illegals’ zu sein.
Ich hoffe es nicht, kann es mir aber vorstellen.
Und ja die Stadien werden darunter leiden.
Two sides of the same coin, with money comes prestige.
The winners of this tournament will be the first true world champions, and it’s something clubs like Barcelona, Arsenal and Liverpool want to be in on.
It very much is important in terms of the tournament itself. The club that wins it will be the first true world champions
It’s an absolute game changer in club football which is why clubs like Barcelona Arsenal and Liverpool want in
No they want to compete because of the money and the title. To be true world champions is a great honour
Watch the final and see what it will mean to the winners, the cash difference won’t be huge in terms of the overall cash distribution, the feeling though, that will be huge, and probably watched by a billion plus people
Fair enough 
the CWC splits opinions. In Europe the feeling seems mainly negative, elsewhere it’s probably more positive
Gianni, is it you?? Welcome to our little discussion forum. It’s an honour for us to have the greatest sport leader of the world among us! 
“Today I feel Arabic. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel [like] a migrant worker.”
Grüß Dich Gianni 
I thank you wholeheartedly
FIFA far sightedly launched the World Cup in 1930, despite lack of interest from many countries, only 13 bothering to enter. Now we have launched a true world cup for clubs and already many more are clamouring to be in th next one 
According to Opta we are third favourites
Sounds like typical Trump speech:
It’s the only very true competition. Magical. Only in US. Very, very true.
First I’m Infantino, now I’m Trump.
It’s all getting too personal for me. This is my last post on here
It would be nice if you could elaborate why this tournament has a bigger value than the previous one. Just saying that it is a „true“ tournament doesn’t help.
Okay, this is my last post. It’s the first 32 team global tournament, it has a 1bn pound prize money and will be far far bigger than any previous tournament
I’m pretty sure I’ve said all this before, but I say it again just to be clear
You are of course free to post how you like, it’s no problem but I’ve had enough now
Since I brought up this Infantino thing I feel obliged to reply, and I mean it: Would be sad if you would leave again because of this. I (I can only speak for myself) did not at all want to say „you are (like) Infantino“ BUT one or two posts sounded to me like they could have been from him. It was simply an „association“/immediate thought I had. That doesn’t identify you with him and was not meant „personal“. Sorry that you felt like this.
