Disclaimer () Rob Halligan 1 Posted 15/06/2025 at 17:53:14 Bayern Munich are 6-0 up at half time against Auckland City in this useless Club World Cup, and Kane has not scored or had an assist in any of the goals. Rob Halligan 2 Posted 15/06/2025 at 18:53:38 Bayern Munich hit Auckland for 10, with 5 minutes added time left to play. What the Fuck? Why play 5 minutes added time? Unfortunately I never saw one of them as I was watching the England U21s v Slovenia U21s in a dull 0-0 draw. Rob Halligan 3 Posted 15/06/2025 at 19:01:37 So it finished 10-0. I suppose goal difference could be a factor in the final group table, so I can kinda understand the five minutes added on time. Liam Mogan 4 Posted 15/06/2025 at 19:05:34 10-0 is just ridiculous. U12s stuff that.Makes a mockery of the competition. No doubt Auckland were delighted to be involved, but really? Rob Halligan 5 Posted 15/06/2025 at 19:26:05 Liam, Auckland will receive some kind of prize money, but I can’t see it being much. A win in a group match is worth £1.5M, while a draw is £800k. They will get neither!! Paul Hewitt 6 Posted 15/06/2025 at 19:41:39 The whole Club World Cup is ridiculous, the fact the winners get $97M is an outrage. I can see this competition taking over normal leagues in the future. It's simply all about money. I won't be watching a single minute of it. Danny O'Neill 7 Posted 15/06/2025 at 19:53:31 I'm sure Auckland were pleased. to be there, but that wasn't pleasant to watch.The highlight for me were the commentators trying their best to keep the message going.Quote of the match was "Auckland need to stay calm, keep the ball and move it forward".It was 9 - 0 in the 85th minute!!! Liam Mogan 8 Posted 15/06/2025 at 20:04:56 PSG v Athletico Stadium half empty...Why play this in LA? Why play this at all? Paul Hewitt 9 Posted 15/06/2025 at 20:09:43 Are these clubs playing full strength teams? Liam Mogan 10 Posted 15/06/2025 at 20:11:44 Yes. It's very competitive tbf in the early stages. Liam Mogan 11 Posted 15/06/2025 at 20:25:17 Some finish that. Grant Rorrison 12 Posted 15/06/2025 at 20:42:07 Anyone rate Lee Kang-in of PSG? Michael Kenrick 13 Posted 15/06/2025 at 21:20:14 I dunno, Paul @1, that PSG #7 — Kvaratskhelia is some player. Wonderful to watch. Set up both goals, just had a tremendous shot pushed onto the bar with an incredible save.But you're right. I'm not watching any more. Liam Mogan 14 Posted 15/06/2025 at 21:24:39 PSG are just relentless Danny O'Neill 15 Posted 15/06/2025 at 21:29:42 Best team in Europe, if not the world at the moment, Liam. Ian Bennett 16 Posted 15/06/2025 at 21:46:44 Tevez would walk into our team. Bill Watson 17 Posted 15/06/2025 at 23:08:10 I just can't get interested in this non event. Rob Halligan 18 Posted 15/06/2025 at 23:11:57 So for the sake of playing three games, travelling halfway around the world, to get hammered in the three games, Auckland City stand to win £2.6M. I wouldn’t bother getting me arse out of bed for that! Mike Gaynes 19 Posted 16/06/2025 at 02:01:47 Especially for an amateur club, Rob. Some of the Auckland City guys had to miss the tournament because of their jobs. And hey, for the rest of their lives they get to say they played Bayern. I'd brag on that until I was 90, no matter what the score was. Frank Wolfe 20 Posted 16/06/2025 at 02:40:07 Apart from the experience and the exposure, £2.6M would be massive for a club like Auckland City. Fair play to them. Matt Traynor 21 Posted 16/06/2025 at 02:51:13 The irony of FIFA and UEFA trying to force the Premier League to reduce the size of the league, to make more time for shite like this.It's all about the money, has been for the last 3 decades. Backed by oil money, it's got FA to do about fans. They'd happily play in empty stadia (as we're seeing here) as long as they get the broadcast / sponsor money they need.
