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

[southamptonblue]

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

.....and Macclesfield are about 2000 places above them!

 

[burning blue soul]

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

So, you're saying that this is like Munich vs. Macclesfield, but with all Maccs' best players injured?

 

[Gaz76]

Brilliant save from Tracey......four words a city fan has never heard

 

[richardtheref]

This Auckland team look like a bunch of plumbers or something

That's because they are.

 

[MCFC1993]

Don't want to hear any analysis from the pundits or commentators about 'what Auckland should do', it's one of the best teams in the world against an amateur side ffs.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

When did german scum get that CB Tah. He was quality

 

[JamesMCFC]

That's because they are.

That explains it

 

[burning blue soul]

Right, well that's that game over with.
What shall we do now?

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

These lads are going to get absolutely battered.

 

[crooky]

The other game this reminds me of is...

Barry Island Vs Porto in the Champions League qualifiers.

Anyone else remember that classic mismatch?

That was a comparison given on Faceache from some 'football group' ...no reason to not believe it, they must get the figures from somewhere, and the Auckland one was same as commentator said.

The quality is worlds apart.

 

[burning blue soul]

Why is it the colour red attracts all wanker teams?
It's a mystery of the ages.

I think after you get into quadruple figures it's all a bit of a quality bonfire anyway.

It's the default setting, innit? All white is another one.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Might aswell scrap the group stage and move straight to quarter finals

 

[Carlos- the- jackal]

Who gives a shiny shite what some sister shagging, six fingered **** from Stoke thinks.

Some of these games may throw some surprises though.

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

I suppose given teams would be having a pre-season friendly anyway, they might as well have this. Curious as to what needs to happen for it to be considered a success though.
