Urawa Red Diamonds (N) | CWC Semi-Final | Pre-Match Thread

Jeddah is 2 hours ahead of UK time.
the semi final might not have the same KO times but for ours they will be mindful of the UK audience.
8pm local time would be 6pm UK.
Fine for TV audiences and the heat will be ok.

This is just my thinking - nothing more.

Does it change to 3 hours difference in winter when our clocks go back and theirs don’t?

First ive seen of this competition.

Not sure if im excited about it,or i think its a load of bollocks we can do without.

Should be, there is a small possibility of Palace too but, i think personally it will go ahead and possible be played Friday night to give us the extra day.

Reckon there’s a good chance it just stays Saturday at either 12:30 if BT select or 3pm if they don’t. Rags v Dippers definitely a Sunday due to the latter’s Europa league game, same for Tarquins v Brighton, West Ham v Wolves and Conference team Villa away at Brentford. So, reasonable chance we play Saturday.

Yes it does. At least that was the case when I was there back in the eighties. I don't believe that it has changed.

Without googling can anyone name the last 3 winners and who they beat in the Final?

It's got a pretty long history as being something FIFA tried to get going, but in its current guise hasn't been around for that long and they're trying to expand it and make it into something bigger - which we've qualified for already if it gets off the ground.

We'll have a museum soon and it would be a pretty big addition to have the Club World Cup trophy in there alongside the Super Cup and European Cup. Something you only qualify for by winning the Champions League so it doesn't come around very often and is therefore something worth winning.

However, it's still probably a load of bollocks we can do without! Hopefully we'll have a lead in the league and it will be a couple of games that serve as warm weather training before we return for the Christmas schedule.

I'm guessing Real Madrid, Chelsea and Bayern Munich as they're the last three CL winners. Who they played is difficult but I'd probably say Al-Hilal, Palmeiras and Tigres. Purely guesswork though.

Assume it was the last 3 champions league winners - Madrid , Chelsea & Bayern - but no idea who they played or the scores - Just assume they won.

Beat me to it , but better guess for opposition. No idea who won any non European leagues - me bad.
