Club World Cup - Summer 2025

[JOGAMIGMOG]

Not a chance to win it (we couldn't win even crystal palace),so who cares....

Christ on a bike! Nowt like getting behind the team you ‘support’

Am I the only one genuinely looking forward to this? Normally a long wait to see the blues back in action over the summer. Hopefully should have a couple of new signings on board as well.

Me too.
I think it's normal for us English to dismiss these types of tournaments - we did the world cup on the 30's and European cup competitions in the 50's and early 60's.
But one day, fans will look back at the winners of this in the same way as we look at the Champions League/European Cup.

I'm excited for it. Can't stand the transfer threads and would much rather see us in a tournament than playing pointless friendlies.

After the season we've had it's also a very good way for us to benchmark ourselves against the top teams in Europe, which will reveal how close or far we are from challenging again next season. Gives the board the chance to make definitive moves in the market to address issues as well, with much of the squad on trial!

The runner up in our group will likely play Real Madrid in the knockouts...so not getting too carried away yet!

Guessing that if we get knocked out early - maybe by Madrid in the round after the group - we will have to get some friendlies in

Don’t worry you can watch the tennis at Wimbledon instead. It’s not compulsory to support City.

Not only would we like play Real in the round of 16, PSG will be in that half of the draw should they top their group.
Winning the group potentially improves our chances of going far in the tournament quite a lot.

Any football is welcome, the alternatives are too boring. If you fit you can play the the whole year round like we did and often 3 or 4 official games per week too.

The BBC would be all over this if the Red Cartel were in it. As it is they’ll do their very best to ignore or marginalise it.

You don’t support a team just to see them win.

If there was to be no effect on next seasons performances then it would be fine, there is just too much football imho.

Yep if they pick up any injuries it will screw with pre season, whilst the cash would be handy the so called prestige is a myth, heard two lad talking about it in the pub they thought it was in the Middle East and saying dirty Arab money again, fucking idiots. Get through the group get knocked out, take about £50 million by a decent right back job done go on holiday.

Exactly what I'm hoping for fella

 

[Iamthemusicman]

It would be very 'Typical City' to be the only team to have won more CWCs than CLs so I'm all in.

Can anyone remember which side of the grounds we’ve got at Philadelphia and Atlanta?

I for one ( maybe litterally) am really looking forward to it. Regarding games it just replaces shitty preseason games. I would rather be in it than not! This is really being hyped up in the rest of the world, even seen City tops on sale in normal stores in the US.

Come on City...I will be there supporting the boys not bitching and complaining!
