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

[mv1986]

Is the FIFA Club World Cup hosted by Saudi Arabian guys? I have never looked into the details and how this Club World Cup was initiated and by whom.

The truth is that I don't believe this is something, maybe they are helping, but it's not something that is because of them, because Infantino is the most interested in this Club World Cup, of course according to many it is a terrible idea, but I think they say it's a terrible idea because their clubs are not playing, but for me it is a very important event and the truth is that I personally have enjoyed it a lot, and if Saudi Arabia put money into this then it doesn't seem bad to me either.


For today's match I must say that I really like how Inter Miami is Playing , they have gone from less to more, I know that the favorite is PSG , but it would be Fantastic if Messi came up with an upset , I Really would love it.

As you can see from some other responses to my post, it is clearly hosted by Saudi Arabia and by the way, Infantino is one of the most corrupt people in football I guess. Infantono is interested in whatever the big players with the most money are interested in doing. Infantino benefits from those deals all day long in one way or another, be sure of that

 Inter Milan would play against Fluminese tonight and normally they are the favorites because of the fact that they're not just an European club, they also have a good squad but if we're being honest with ourselves, they haven't been giving us the performance we know they are capable of in this competition, rather it seems as if they are struggling to get back to the way they were before last season ended and before they even lost the champions league to PSG.
 What can we expect from Inter tonight being that it's in the critical stages of the game. Will they be yet another team to boot a Brazilian club from the competition or will Fluminese be able to add to their troubles by eliminating them? I really can't say. Fluminese are very strong but so far, Brazilian teams are being made to look like school boys so I'm not really putting my money on them though.

The game on his one was a very nery nice one and Flamengo had a lot chances to change the game and score some goals.
But Bayern Munich was able to hold on the lead they got and and was in the end the better team.

The two teams played well in the match, Flamengo didn’t play so badly in the match, in terms of possession, they played well, they created some chances, just that they lack ability to convert those chances into goal, and Bayern Munich utilized the chances which they had, and they were able to secure four goals in the match. I wasn’t surprised with  Bayern Munich getting a win in the match, it’s what I expected, I played a bet on them, and they didn’t disappoint me.

[Amphenomenon]

And for the Man City and Al Hilal match, I think the SPL club cannot be underestimated, remember when Al Hilal held Real Madrid to a draw in the group stage, so Man City should not underestimate Al Hilal's strength because usually clubs like this will provide surprises.

Al Hilal is a very strong team from the Saudi League but can we actually see similar thing that happened between them and Real Madrid to also happen against Manchester City? I don't think so because Manchester City is also working hard to correct their flaws of last season games which means that they are looking forward to winning Al Hilal and advance to the next stages. Besides the draw Real Madrid played against Al Hilal was basically because it was their first game after the league games ended so they hadn't really gotten their fitness but after subsequent games they were able to make good improvements and Manchester City have already been performing awesomely in the Club world Cup games, Al Hilal cannot outsmart Manchester City.

To be honest City squad depth and team performance has really increased this season. In the club world cup group stage they dominated their opponents, now they will face Al Hilal who did great holding Real Madrid in the group stage but I must say Real Madrid performance wasn't really all well even in their attack.

City can get an easy win tonight but I won't disrupt the fact that Al Hilal can be deadly, though City ought to win.

Inter - Fluminense...

Honestly it isn't a big game for Inter. But on paper of course. Because we have witnessed strong European teams getting weird results against much smaller teams. 

However we have left the group stage behind. This is why I expect them to take it more serious. I don't expect any extra time. 1.77 for Inter to win seems really good. Higher than I expected but a good opportunity though.

The Inter Milan vs Fluminense match is currently underway and has entered the 20th minute. The current score is 0-1 in favor of Fluminense who scored 1 goal in the 3rd minute by German Cano. And I think everyone will now be even more surprised by the teams from the Brazilian Serie A. Because many people think that the teams from there are quite ordinary. But at the Club World Cup we always see the teams from there perform extraordinary. Not only this season but in the previous Club World Cup the same thing happened.

And we have to remember that Fluminense is the team that managed to advance to the Final in the 2023 Club World Cup. So I think favorite Inter Milan in this match is not a wise decision at all. Because Fluminense is really not a weak team.

Inter Milan is already one goal down from a third minute goal by German Cano. The Brazilian side is not showing any sign of sowing down even after scoring the leading goal. It may be too early to call but I'm very skeptical about Inter Milan winning tonight because have not too spectacular in this competition. If the are able to equalize in this first half, then they have a good chance of winning the match from the second half. It will really be a poor one for Inter Milan if they are eliminated by Fluminese.

Bayern Munich and PSG are going to face each other in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup. I am eagerly waiting for this match. The two giants will play against each other and this is undoubtedly going to be the most exciting match of the FIFA Club World Cup.

PSG team qualified for the quarter-finals by defeating Inter Miami by a margin of 4-0. On the other hand, Bayern Munich won against Flamengo by a margin of 4-2. Both Munich and PSG are strong. Although the FIFA Club World Cup is not a very important tournament for these two teams. Still, both will try to win this match. Luis Enrique will not want to lose against Munich in any way. In this match, maybe we will see Dembele in the starting XI.

Paris Saint-Germain F.C. football team will play next match against Bayern Munich football team and that match will be interesting because both are best teams and have millions of fans all over the World. Paris Saint-Germain F.C. football team performance is very well in the last few matches which shows that they are in excellent form and could win this match easily by good margin. Both teams have won last match which is giving them confidence to win next match. Stats of both teams is in that side of Bayern Munich football team because these teams played 5 matches against each other and Bayern Munich team won 4 matches out of 5 matches and Paris Saint-Germain F.C. team won only 1 match.

Fluminense with an early goal has advantage but overall for now Inter is better and should score at least one by halftime and get back in the game if they are able to break the defence of Fluminense. Fluminense will probobly focus on defence only and try to score only from a counter attack now

[Merit.s]

Fluminense is on the lead with an early goal scored by K. Asllani on the third minute of the match. Inter is still struggling to equalize the goal. Fluminense is not holding the ball too much but they are deadly when they are with the ball because all they know is to go for a goal. Fluminense almost doubled their goal through a rebound but the ball went to the side post.

Looks like the change of coach is really affecting Inter's performance because I thought that they will be in control of the game in both possession and goals and I never expected that Inter will play under pressure.

Inter 0-1. Fluminense

Nice goal by flaminense and they have been able to hold their own against inter Milan but it's still time to go in this game so flaminense should continue this way until the last whistle is blown it will be a tough one influence can win this game and make it to the next round


Inter Milan has not been so convinced in this tournament as they have been struggling ever since this tournament started it will not be a good one for inter Milan to exit the tournament at this stage of the competition

[adultcrypto]

Inter Milan have gotten so bad that even Fluminese will humiliate them this way. If not that this goal by Ignacio was disallowed as offside, Inter Milan would have been losing by two goals to nil even before half time. I noticed that since the disappointing champions league finals, Inter Milan have been very terrible and I keep wondering what the cause could be. They lost the finals but that was not the end of the world, they can't continue to morn it forever. I'm not even seeing any motivation that shows they are going to win tonight.

For now what is clear is that Inter Milan is even in serious doubt after they lost their flagship coach. And the current Inter Milan coach, Cristian Chivu, is also not a well-known coach who has always been in the spotlight all this time. He is just a coach who coached Parma last season. And then now he gets the big opportunity to coach Inter Milan. And although so far he has succeeded in bringing Inter Milan to the round of 16. But I doubt he will take Inter Milan any further. And in this case it also shows that Chivu's quality is not as good as the previous coach, Inzaghi. So yeah, it's quite natural to see Fluminense even make Inter Milan overwhelmed.

The goal was caused by a defensive blunder, showing that they have not improved since the disgraceful UCL loss to PSG. The defenders gave Germán Cano a chance to score that goal. Inter Milan are dominating based on ball possession but it is goals that matter. The first half will soon come to an end, and we are hoping that Cristian Chivu will make the necessary changes to come back in this game.  Inter fans have been heartbroken by their loss of the Serie A and the UCL. Winning this tournament would have been a good means of apologizing to them. But it seems the disappointment will continue.

The first half of the match has just ended, and inter Milan haven’t been able to equalize, even as they have a better performance. I was thinking Inter Milan will be able to score before the end of the first half, but they couldn’t, seriously Inter Milan is really having lots to work on, they really need to get a win in the match, they need to score in the second half of the match, since Fluminense have been able to score in the early minutes of the first half, all they will want to do in the second half of the match is just to defend the goal which they are having even if they can’t score more goals in the match.

Lautaro is invisible on the pitch, his current rating is 5.7, which is quite poor. Chivu needs to change the formation and tactics if he wants to win this match. The fans are heartbroken, and i believe the players feel the same way. That loss to PSG was tough on everyone. They still have one half to prove they can do it. I hope they manage to go through.

[yenerbatmaz]

The first half of the match between Inter and Fluminense was tougher than I expected. There is a high probability of a red card in the second half.

There was a conflict between Mkhitaryan and the Fluminense coach in the last minutes of the first half. Gaucho received a yellow card but Mkhitaryan did not.

[Sandra_hakeem]

I can't believe that inter Milan is struggling with their Junior boys. Conceiving 1 goal in the first period is so disappointing, and to be honest, this wasn't what I predicted. Football can sometimes go beyond your wildest imaginations and this one is just a perfect example of that description.

Well, we still have hope on the second period. They better have it in mind that if they lose, they're stepping out of the league, equally helping Fluminense qualify for the quarter finals.. Simone Inzaghi has failed the club and beaten down on the expectations on the fans in general.
249 pass completion and a 67% overall possession, but only 2 shots on target.. This is so poor, I hope they wake up from this slumber!

[CLS63]

Inter are a big disappointment so far to be honest. They conceded an early goal and nearly the 2nd one was coming if it wasn't disallowed. I didn't expect them to have this big difficulties.

It is so difficult to prepare a multi with 2-3 matches which can win for this tournament. We are still witnessing very surprising scores. There are still another 45 minutes maybe but we will see.

But I guess Manchester City wouldn't mess up this much against Al-Hilal tonight.

[BIT-BENDER]

In one of my recent post I highlighted that inter Milan may have a rough time next season, they really haven't been at their best in this FIFA world Club Cup and at halftime they are losing to fluminense

To be fair on Inter Milan they really haven't strengthened their squad and they are playing with very old players, their previous coach Inzaghi had the master plan for the team and I think this present coach is finding it difficult, if Inter Milan want to still compete next season then they need to sign fresh players.

[coinlocket$]

Weird result so far after the end of the 1st half.
Inter is losing against Fluminense.

For sure they will end winning the game.
There is no way they will not pass this easy for them match.,
