Club World Cup Final

[Stephen Adams.]

Love the way the crowd go "Ooooooooooooh" every time something happens.

LDU player booked for a tackle on Ronaldo inside 2 minutes.

[Monkeywool]

Who are these that the filth are playing anyway?

[Guest davelfc]

I'm not watching this. But I bet the filth will not have 4 goals disallowed. All I can hope for are some injuries and really bad jet lag for them when they get back.

[Monkeywool]

Collymore in a complete moron shocker.

 

"This tournament should be invitation only for the world's best clubs in their region"

 

So the winners of each of their champions league equivalent isn't good enough then?

[Stephen Adams.]

LDU Quito from Ecuador.

Won the Libertadores, beat Fluminense on penalties in the Maracana.

They missed a sitter earlier on from a free kick but it's been all United since then.

Looks a matter of time before they score.

[Randy Marsh]

Really hope the manc cunts get beat. As mickey mouse as the tournament is, the tag "Club World Champions" which will be trotted out by every commentator really doesnt sit easy with me. I hope they get fuckin twatted, with broken legs for Rooney, Tevez, Ronaldo, Ferdinand, Vidic and Berbatoss. Might be expecting a bit too much though.

[RobbieOR]

The crowd are wanking over Ronaldo everytime he gets the ball there is a cheer. WHy do we get the equivilent of BArcelona when we play in it and that scum get the equivilant of when Porto won the Champions league. ( I know it doesnt matter of course)

Why is this tournament 'mickey mouse'?

 

I think it's a great competition and would have loved us to win it 3 years ago. How often do the best teams from South America get to play the best team from Europe? And it gives the teams from the other (admittedly far weaker) continents a chance at testing themselves.

 

And not that it's the most important thing, but there is a big chunk of prize money available for winning this.

I'd have loved us to win it myself, and we where robbed against Sao Paulo. No way on this earth where they better than us. I'd regard it as a mickey mouse tournament due to the fact that the standard of teams, apart from the European entry, is generally shit. In all honesty the games are like glorified friendlies in the manner that they are played. I dont know, maybe micky mouse is too strong. Its definately a tag you'd like to have next to your name, but the laid back manner in which the european sides can win this title is hardly befitting of being World Champions.

[Fugitive]

Vidic sent off.

[fowlerisgod]

Vidic sent off. Straight red too. Elbowing someone, well spotted by the ref as they were both down as it happened.

[Randy Marsh]

Fuckin yard dog is Vidic. Always throwing the elbows around, like on Xabi.

[JohnnyH]

Where does the send off ban apply too?

[Red-Ed]

So does that mean he'll be banned for the CHampions League - straight red is normally 3 game ban.

 

Is it a FIFA or UEFA competition?

[Red Mist]

Who the fuck is this team ManUre are playing? We played one of the most famous and successful clubs in South America and the scum get these no-marks? Not fair.

[Guest davelfc]

It will be dropped on appeal, how dare the ref punish them.

[Red Phoenix]

the tag "Club World Champions" which will be trotted out by every commentator really doesnt sit easy with me.

 

Agreed, that will get really annoying.

 

Good save there by Van Der Saar.

[Stephen Adams.]

LDU got there on fucking merit by winning the Libertadores Cup, the South American CL.

And since when did the European teams win it easily?

Yeah, because English sides have been ultra successful in this tournament, even back when it was just Europe v South America, winning a whole 1 game.

 

In fact, it's not just English sides, you do realise this is the 5th final under what is known as the world club cup since 2000 and European sides have won it once?

 

Even when it was just Europe v South America, the South American's won it more often than the Europeans.

 

So if you are going to generalise about shit, then please generalise accurately.

 

And fuck off Rooney you cunt.

[RobbieOR]

1-0 Rooney.

[fowlerisgod]

Good finish by Rooney. This team are awful.

[Stephen Adams.]

The wee left footed number 21 behind the forwards looks a good player.

[Guest TK-421]

According to the Beeb website Vidic will miss a CL game, let's hope it's Inter away.

 

Actually it says CL tie, dunno if that means both legs.

[Herp McDerp]

If the offence is deemed to be bad enough he may miss an additional 2 matches over the compulsory 1 match ban.
