Aye it’s crap, and as you say the divides are getting larger and more insurmountable with each passing season.

Unfortunately can’t see any governing body taking effective action, as UEFA / FIFA are in the pockets of the big clubs. We see similar here with the OF / SFA dynamic.

Money has destroyed the (once) beautiful game IMO.

I think it's more that FIFA are in the pocket if Saudi Arabia.

Half an hour to introduce the players with a stadium announcer and her inaudible screeching voice.

You might have thought that they would have let Los Angeles FC play in LA to try to get a big crowd in.

Also, bringing the players on one by one like a darts walk on is just a step too far...

I was convinced that she had died recently, apparently not.

These are the games I was looking forward to, south Americans vs Europe. Boca fans seem to have turned up in good numbers.

1-0 Boca.

Boca fans are great.

[EGL2000]

Brilliant goal from Boca. Seen loads of people slagging off this world cup but the South American fans love it. Give their teams an opportunity to show it's not just all about Europe!

[EGL2000]

2-0 Mon the Boca

[EGL2000]

Great game so far!

[SteveHFC]

Livescore had Herrera sent off for Boca in the first half. I presume that is wrong?

[SteveHFC]

That was decent.

This was always an interesting basic premise, a meeting of yawningly opposed extremes. Boca are connection, collectivism, passion, an acme of the legacy football world. This club is all rootsy culture, history, legend, Diego-scale iconography, the Argentina of Argentina. And in the black corner, well, we have something else entirely. Authenticity: meet the Fifa Club World Cup, the most plasticised, commodified football competition ever devised.

There was something a little uncomfortable about this spectacle. Here is Fifa saying lend us your edge, your colour, your clout, your stamp. Make us feel real. In the build up to this game Fifa’s reliably unctuous website had described Boca as “a nomadic passion”. And this is the business plan in one handy phrase. Instant reality, bolt-on culture.

Switched off last night, can anyone explain why there's 3 USA teams in it?
