⚽ FIFA Club World Cup 2025 - USA: Discussion Thread ⚽

I think we are about to witness a surprise if we can call it that way with Benfica winning against Chelsea + the odds are very appealing <3.

That surprise could have really happened to be honest. Chelsea played much better but Benfica were really solid at defending in regular time. But that red card came in extra time ruined all their plans.

And today PSG demolished Inter Miami very easily. Especially the first half was much more one sided. I was expecting 0 goal from Inter Miami and I got what I wanted. Even Botafogo scored a goal against PSG but it is the only goal they conceded at the same time so far.

Flamengo vs Bayern Munich

On the last match unfortunately Bayern Munich have lost from Benfica but luckily they still qualified to round of 16 and for Flamengo they still unbeated on group stage Flamengo even has been beat Chelsea 3-1 previously
Although Bayern Munich is the favourite but i still consider Flamengo is a tough opponent for them and the results of this match is hard to predicted so it won't be easy but for betting option i think both teams to scores is a good choice

Flamengo does not have any star players in their squad. We do not even know most of the players in the squad. However , we have seen good performances from flamengo's players in the group stage matches . Flamengo is undefeated in all three matches of the first round. The most important  thing is that Flamengo won by a large margin  against a strong team like Chelsea. This proves that Flamengo is capable of playing well against strong teams.

Bayern munich is strong and Munich is the favorite  in today 's match. Even so, it can not be said that Munich will not lose. Munich will play with their full strength squad. This shows that Kompany wants to win today.

I am betting on Munich to win. There are very few gamblers who have taken the risk of betting on Flamengo to win. However, if Flamengo somehow manages to win, these gamblers will win a large amount of money.

When Bayern played against Benfica, they had already qualified, so they had no reason to play too seriously against Benfica, but in today's game, Bayern will play seriously and I see them coming out with a victory in this game. I agree that Flamengo is a good team and I am a fan of Flamengo and Bayern, I will be rooting for both teams. But in terms of squad quality, Bayern is better.




It was a very easy victory, PSG has a good attack, they are candidates for the title, With the good defense they have had, they need to pray to find weaker opponents in the next games, that way they will save energy by having victories and will be able to become champions.

let see how they cope against bayern

It’s going to be a great match. Although Bayern are the favorites, I believe Flamengo can go through. The work being done by coach Filipe Luís is focused on turning the team into a sports powerhouse, and the match against Chelsea showed that Flamengo is capable of playing on equal footing with any European club.

I've even already placed my bet

[Adbitco]

Bro  do not forget FIFA club corld Cup is  being held in America. If this tournament was held in Europe I believe we would have seen a lot of spectators in every match . Even if the stadium is empty, can you deny that Suarez and Messi have a big fan base??
Anyway, anything  can happen in football. Many times we see the favorite team lose, the underdog team win. Something like that can happen in this match. But Luis enrique will want to win the fifa club World Cup title. This season, PSG has won all the titles on all the platforms they have played. Even if the FIFA Club World Cup title is not that important, though I think Luis Enrique will try to win that title too

We are aware that if it was held in Europe then the stadiums would be filled and this is not because of Messi and Suarez as it was claimed earlier but because of the teams itself. That's where their fan base is at but this very competitive is been held in America which was a wrong move by FIFA. They thought that holding it in the country where Messi plays his trade now that they will have stadiums filled but they got it wrong.

[BIT-BENDER]

Inter Miami has nothing to regret, the really showed up in this competition and gave it there all.
The class difference between PSG and inter Miami is large and it was clear in today's game. I have a feeling that Luis Enrique told his players not to take chances because there applied so much pressure on inter Miami right from the beginning of the match.
It was great seeing those legends in Inter Miami experiencing top flight football again but it's clear age has caught up and Europe is still where the football is.

I am betting on Munich to win. There are very few gamblers who have taken the risk of betting on Flamengo to win. However, if Flamengo somehow manages to win, these gamblers will win a large amount of money.

Only 10  minutes have passed in the match. And I do not  see any possibility of Bayern Munich losing right now. Flamengo conceded a goal in the 6th minute of the match due to a mistake by midfielder Pulga r. And in the 9th minute of the match, Harry kane scored from a pass by Upamecano. Bayern Munich secured a 2-0 lead in just 10 minutes.

Although Ffamengo is not a weak team , I do not think they have the ability to  score 3 goals against Bayern munich's strong defense. Moreover  Bayern munich has been  playing an attacking strategy since the beginning of the match. If flamengo does not keep their defense strong, the team will concede more goals.

what a goal from harry kane

[Ale88]

You shouldn't expect Inter Miami to do anything because Messi alone can't play all the wings and score goals. I am shocked at the way PSG messed up Inter Miami, because I expected a goal at least. PSG is ths only club that have qualified easily to the quarter finals without difficulties. With the current form of PSG, it shows that they will go far in this tournament

That is clear because the two teams have very different qualities, especially after seeing PSG's victory with 4 goals without reply from Inter Miami so there is no reason to doubt PSG in this competition, especially since the more difficult proof was also achieved by PSG last season by becoming champions in the UCL. So I also don't doubt PSG in this competition to continue to go further even though maybe in the next round PSG will meet Munich and I hope their match can be even more fierce if Munich can qualify again for the next round.

Only a fool would doubt PSG's qualities just because they lost against Botafogo: let's not forget that if we take a look at the statistics from that match PSG were supposed to score several goals. Of course the Brazilian team still won, and that is what matters at the end, but it's clearly been an unfortunate result, that's it. And of course it's not fair (nor logical) judging a team by a single result.

[Iranus]

Flamengo players are confident. The team is not playing defensively. Even after falling behind by two goals in just 9 minutes , Flamengo players continue to attack. If Bayern munich had not scored two goals so quickly, this match would have been more competitive.



After 25 minutes, Munich is leading 2-0 . However , so far Flamengo players have had 4 shots and munich players have had 2 shots. Also , Flamengo players have 59% ball possession. they try to control the match . Since they are behind by 2-0, it is very difficult for them to make a comeback  in this match. Also  munich's defense is strong. Goalkeeper Neuer is also very experienced.

[Lida93]

On the contrary I don't think Chelsea will convincingly defeat Benfica in this game, because this an entirely different Benfica side a bit different from what we used to know, I expect the Portuguese side to give Chelsea a run for their money, they have a good squad and some exceptional talents both in defense, midfield and attack, apparently I consider them to be favourites in this game.

This is just five minutes pass into the match and the score is still levelled, but from the possession played in the match so far, Chelsea are taken over the possession more than Benfica is. Let us see how the match will be after some minutes from now, from about 30 minutes into the match, we can see where the match will be headed. I don’t think Benfica strength will match that of Chelsea in this match, they look more dominating and have the upper chance of winning this game. Benfica may be playing a great game, but I don’t see them overpowering Chelsea in this game and eliminating them. This is going to be a tough match regardless, but we will see to it before the end of the game.

Benfica finally got a late equaliser after the suspension of the match due to unfavorable weather conditions but it is Chelsea that would proceed to the next round of the competition haven successfully beaten the Portuguese side by 4 goals to 1 in the extra time of this game, this particular win seems a bit like the win against Real Betis in Uefa conference league where Chelsea had to come from behind to snatch the game from Betis.

Agree. This team is confident. Even after falling behind by 2-0, they are not discouraged. And Flamengo players are trying to win the match. After conceding  2 goals, the team has increased the pace of attack. And in the 33rd minute , Gerson was able to put the ball in Munich's net. The match is now 2- 1. Even though Bayern Munich is leading, Flamengo' s performance so far is excellent. The team's players have been able to take 7 shots till now. Flamengo is not willing to lose the match in any way . They continue to try until the end to win

It was great seeing those legends in Inter Miami experiencing top flight football again but it's clear age has caught up and Europe is still where the football is.

Inter Miami tried for reaching the round of 16 because many people thought they will get eliminated in the group stages, it was just unfortunate Inter Miami met a team like PSG, if it were to be some of those small clubs Inter Miami may have gone past the knockout stages. Above all, Messi did well by showing us a wonderful performance for Inter Miami, we were really excited at his presence in the FIFA Club world cup, he literally added some sauce in the competition. Normally, despite that a football legend like Lionel Messi is playing for Inter Miami, it doesn't mean his team is anywhere close to PSG. Yeah, it was nice to watch Luiz Suarez and Lionel Messi who were old time teammates when they played for Barcelona, it was very lovely watching them regardless that they got dismissed by PSG.

What a great goal by Gerson! Now Bayern scored another goal against Flamengo (3x1), everything indicates that it'll be a match with many goals, it's up to Flamengo to try to equalize the game, a hot and exciting match to watch! Flamengo isn't doing badly in the game.

Benfica finally got a late equaliser after the suspension of the match due to unfavorable weather conditions but it is Chelsea that would proceed to the next round of the competition haven successfully beaten the Portuguese side by 4 goals to 1 in the extra time of this game, this particular win seems a bit like the win against Real Betis in Uefa conference league where Chelsea had to come from behind to snatch the game from Betis.

A completely unpredictable match, who would have thought that the goals would only come during extra time?

Flamengo now have a goal against Bayern Munich three goals, it's just first half and I believe by the end if the game Bayern Munich will still win, but flamingo may get another goal, their players are so confident that they are going full attack against Bayern Munich even when they know they are both on different level of  strength and form. I love the relentless spirit that flamingo is showing in this game, they are trying to make it a bit difficult for Bayern Munich even if they eventually get to win, they will have to earn it with some stress.  A comeback is what flamengo may not be able to achieve seeing the form and quality of play from Bayern Munich throughout this game.

Yea, I enjoyed the game as Flamengo is not relenting on the game and they're pushing to score the second goal before Bayern scored their third goal to take back the lead with two goals. L. Goreretzka goal was an unexpected one as he took a sharp shot from outside the 18 yard box, which was unstoppable and it went straight into the goal post before Rossi saw it.

The first half is over and Bayern is having a two goal advantage over Flamengo. What an interesting first half compared to the match of PSG vs Inter Miami.

Gerson launched a rocket at the point that Manuel Neuer hands were delayed to see them going up. That was a wonderful goal by Flamingo until Goretzka replied by another rocket that left Flamengo goal lagging behind and not moving.
Bayern Munich is clearly dominating the game and I expect more goals to come from both sides.

It’s surprising that some people were thinking PSG won’t be able to win inter Miami, and some people were thinking inter Miami will give PSG difficult time in the match. I knew the match was going to be easy for PSG, we can’t compare PSG squad with inter Miami, do you expect Messi and Suarez to do everything on the field, and those two players are already old, so I wasn’t expecting anything from them.

PSG were able to score 4 goals in the match, and all the 4 goals were scored in the first half of the match, seriously I was expecting more goals from PSG in the second half of the match, but unfortunately they couldn’t score any goal in the second half, the 4 goals which they scored in the first half was enough for them.

Flamengo will not win this match. Even so, the team is performing better than I expected . Flamengo is trailing 3-1 at the end of the first half. Bayern Munich has confirmed the 3-1 lead with Leon Goretzka's goal in the 41st minute of the first half. Flamengo's attacking players have performed quite well there is no doubt. The team has the ability  to attack very  quickly. but their defense is weak. That is why flamengo conceded three goals in the first half. I think we will see at least  two more goals in this match. Both teams' players are desperate  to score.

So y'all mean just 6 minutes into the game and they already started counting the goals?? Oh man, that's too much -- especially in a game where the GOAT is the captain of the losing team... But, it's not bad to lose; what's bad is becoming a failure, which he's typically not.

GOAT doesn’t work in games like these, he alone can’t  make an entire team  , I laughed when he was saying they are on a part to play with some teams in his last intervie..They didn’t even win their last game that qualified them and it wasn’t ebvem surprising they losed their current game to psg  but as usual he played well and has a good rating…

I think if you know football, then probably you should also know that one man can't do all things. Messi is GOAT but it doesn't mean that he has many legs or arms to utilize all the positions at the same time, whether it's a defensive job or keeping or midfield. So something similar happened with Messi in the same match. If Inter Miami players were good and everyone knew how to manage their position well, then the match could have been competitive, but unfortunately Messi is the player of a those club that has very poor quality.

PSG is a UEFA Champions League title winner, and at the same time there are very good players on the team such that a single player is enough for Inter Miami's entire defense. Meaning to defeat them lonely.
