FIFA Club World Cup 2025 | Day 1 & 2 | 14/15 June '25

Just read Auckland City are an amateur side and pissing myself at the thought of the C suites of Rags and Dippers frothing at the mouth because they're missing out on this payday when some rando sheep herders from New Zealand get in. Does anyone know how much they'll be getting? It can't be as much as City are picking up can it?

I think someone posted $4m and that they are redistributing half of it back amongst their league.
Obviously more should they progress further in the competition

Yep, the amounts are kind of proportional to the leagues/markets in which each team plays aren’t they?

Guaranteed $3.58m which is £2.64m in proper money.

I don't ask for much in life, but please Auckland, get a draw against Munich or, at least, push them to a close win.
It would be hilarious.

Why does this presenter on channel 5 dress like he has just come off a yachts first mate shift?

Auckland are ranked 4980 in the World, according to the commentator on C5.

I feel like this is the only game in a 'top' competition that remotely compares.

I wonder if we'll get a similar scoreline today?

I assume they're using these theoretical rankings.

Search for a decent non league team and they're likely to be ahead of Auckland in the rankings. That's how small they are.

Oh this is hysterically cringe worthy.

I'd struggle to name 500 football teams let alone rank 5000!

 

[JamesMCFC]

This Auckland team look like a bunch of plumbers or something

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

It's very American, i'll say that. Players only got themselves to blame for rising wages.

Razzmatazz in football just doesn't sit right with me.
That shit is for fake fighting and boxers.

Apparently Macclesfield are 2900 and something......gives you a good idea ;)

I'm expecting Aukland to form a scrum when the ref gives a foul.
