Definitely, until they got in front of goal.

Is this like a post-season tournament or a pre-season tournament?

I noticed that Chelsea subbed on Liam Delap the other night, who they obviously only signed shortly before.

Who is this tit of a commentator on the Real Madrid v Al Hilal game?

Quote “The home fans are making a great noise”. 
Sorry? One team is from Spain and the other from Saudi Arabia and the match is being played in Miami. 
I thought I saw Salgado in the stand.

I watched a good game last night. Bayern beat Boca Juniors 2-1. It was end to end stuff with Bayern wining it late thanks to a nice Olise finish. Kane scored first for Bayern. Boca's equaliser was a really good goal. 

The game was a full house in Miami. Boca fans never stopped signing and chanting.

Weather in the form of thunderstorms and extreme heat playing havoc with this tournament. A for runner of problems for the world cup. Fans in 40 degree centigrade heat with no shade.

I'd like to see uefa pull away from fifa and give them a big eff u. Fifa will learn that the world cup isn't a world cup without big European nations.  We could have a euros every two years. There's only Brazil and Argentina worth bothering with outside of Europe.  This will show fifa's greed doesn't control European football

😂

Also, it's on DAZN sports, which means I can't watch it anyway.

You can actually watch every game free on the free version of the DAZN app.

Lol @ City.

That is all.

I watched Fluminense beat Inter last night. Good game.

How could a club be world champions when the Champions of England, Spain, Italy and even Saudi Arabia are not involved.

I have quite enjoyed watching the South American/Mexican sides

Mbappe will be the undoing of this Madrid team

Because that's not the criteria for qualifying, the tournament is every 4 years, so its based on how well teams have done in continental competitions over the previous 4 years.

PSG looked unstoppable tonight. Brilliant team.

They’re all  playing for themselves. PSG are a team.

You couldn't have said that, even as recently as a couple of years ago about PSG, either.

It’s surprising what a change of ethos can do. They played Madrid off the park last night. I’ll need a 2 goal start to back Chelsea.

I watched PSG in the quarter final of the champions League they looked a lot better without all the super stars and playing as a team.

Some pundit was on US TV a couple of seasons ago, it may have been Thierry Henry. They were lamenting the perennial failures of PSG. The sheikh's who own them wanted flash and glamour so they'd been buying up star after star and getting nowhere. Their point was that they should scrap it and start again with young French players. They didn't go that far but did go with youth, expensive ones, but it's worked out. Their ability to press is excellent, and they are all good enough footballers that they can receive the ball anywhere and not worry. 

As for Real I think Mbappe is one of many problems. He didn't play all tournament yet comes back in for the final and does nothing. He has a penchant for sulking too.

In all likelihood we've just had 60+ games during the heat and pre/post season. To tell us what we already knew a week before it started. The best club side in the world are PSG. The money men will be happy though.

Not watched a game, but I hope Chelsea win just to make a bit of a mockery of it.

In fairness the present European champions winning it also makes a mockery of it, as it is what usually happened under the old format (that was done in a week / two games for Europeans!).
