It's not that big of a surprise that the first iteration of this abomination of a cup is to be held in America, it's as if the powerbrokers want to move it over there full time.

This competition in theory replaces the Confederations Cup in the calendar which was used as a test event for a countries readiness to host the world cup.

In theory that would mean the next edition will be in Spain/Portugal/Morocco and then Saudi. Suspect if it's as successful as they hope then it will just go to the highest bidder instead.

Final is Met Life NJ. I’ve already booked multiple hotel rooms for Bluemooners :)

Flights in/out Newark/JFK/LGA on Saturday - Monday are already expensive !

I can only imagine...the ton of money I'd be saving from living an hour from Met Life might just have to go to paying out the ass for good tickets...but it could be a once in a lifetime as far as City playing in a Club World Cup Final in my home state so whatever it costs it costs.

See, that's the trouble with Yanks - thinking that is a long period of time. We have grudges in this part of the world that go back way, way earlier than that :)

Oh, I know...I'm a first generation Yank...my father was born just outside of Rome and my mother in Calabria to a Sicilian father...I know all about way, way back and grudges : )

Those stadiums are really impressive
This will be an absolute money spinner for the elite clubs. No wonder Soriano is shamelessly trying to ensure it happens
Player welfare will always take a back seat to money unfortunately

It's ok as we will have a fully fit Rodri taking the piss by himself.

AI gives some interesting insites if you Google "fifa world cup 2034 bidders" - most of which have probably been covered.

It kinda suggests they only wanted 1 bidder - which is what they got!! (I know quell surprise)

I wouldn't have bothered with the Saudi version on personal views - but I'll be about 70 by then anyway, so not exactly an issue lol
