Could be set for some decent QF games if the teams go through.

Man City vs Inter
PSG vs Bayern
Real vs Dortmund

A City vs PSG/Madrid Final should be good.

So basically just the Champions league on repeat.

Lol looking that way, there will be a team from Brazil in the QF but looking like a team from Europe was always going to win.

[04Sauzee]

Lots of friendlies happening in Scotland today.

Falkirk were 3 nil down to Edinburgh city at half time, currently 3-2

You wonder what FIFA gets out of it (apart from loads of dosh, and expensive jollies for the high heid yins, of course) when the club world game is shown to be totally dominated by European teams. I thought they were hot on "expanding" the game across continents.

I'm quite looking forward to the last 8, there hasn't been so much going through the motions as I thought there might be.

I’ll be honest I haven’t even watched a minute of it.

BBC reporting that Chelsea and Manchester City, using the tournament as financing their summer signings. I know it doesn’t affect Scotland, but it’s widening the gap between the teams in it, and those who didn’t get in

I wondered about what the criteria was for getting in? Were Celtic ever in with a shout at competing?

If Celtic ever got in (and did well) it would widen the gap from the rest to being here to Mars instead of here to the moon !

[cabbageandribs1875]

2nd half just started 2-4

Hibs up 6-2 now, no way whatsoever are we losing this one

Don’t think Celtic will ever do well enough to qualify.

The qualifying criteria is confusing but it’s done on rankings and winning trophies / tournaments like champions league most of the time.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

I’m in Florida next week and there’s a quarter final in Florida on 4th July. Might have a look and see if it can see who it’ll be.

Tickets are apparently $150 but been reducing them before the games depending on how many sold.

Looking forward to the u21 final at 8pm, Germany did beat them in the group stage but anything can happen in a final.

[BILLYHIBS]

England 3 v 2 Germany

Extra time being played

[hibsbollah]

Marseilles Johnathan Rowe scores the winner (?)
Doesn’t seem right watching football this time of year in a non wc euros year.

England u21s didn't get where they are today without some Hibs involvement.

The U21s is strange. They’ve just won back to back Euros but hardly any of them will be at the World Cup next season. Livramento will have a good chance but that’ll be about it. Quansah maybe.

Not many under 21 players play in senior tournaments mate. How many under 21s regularly play for us?

That’s not the point I was making (or trying to make).

When they’re not under 21, I don’t think many of that squad will go on to be senior internationals. In fact, most of them aren’t even under 21. That’s not a dig at England by the way, Germany had several players playing that are already 23! There won’t be many on that park tonight who go on to play much at senior international level. The good players have generally outgrown that level by that type of age.

Looking at it a different way i'd suggest not many full internationals dont have under 21 caps.

Probably not. But I don’t think too many of them are still playing for the 21s when they’re 22 getting on for 23.

Harvey Elliott is a good example. Arguably the best player in the tournament but hardly played at club level all year and not someone I see becoming an international player.

England team in the tournament actually had some really good Premier League players in it, like Anderson and Livramento. I just think the whole U21 thing is a bit skewed and misleading. And as I say, I don’t just apply that to England.

Good win no doubt. Given the literally billions of pounds pumped into the premiership and academy system down south England absolutely should be doing well in these competitions. Saw some of the games and most i watched were very good with plenty goals in them. Public holiday tomorrow?

The fact 23 year olds are playing in a tournament called under 21s is nonsensical

Anderson would have been better picking Scotland. Livramento qualified for Scotland too

That was a decent final last night, Germany hitting the bar twice, first at the end of the 90th to win it and then again at the end of extra time to take it to pens.

German striker Woltemade looked good, good feet for a big lad.

In a way.

Although qualifying for and playing a tournament takes that long that you kind of understand it.

It would be just as much nonsense if guys that were eligible to play and qualify for a finals, were then not allowed to play the finals.

If the rules are the same for everyone then who is it hurting?

Fair enough just seems odd
