Wydad AC (N) - Wed 18th June, 17:00 | CWC | Pre-Match Thread

[Eaststander1]

I wonder how many fans of all clubs will travel?

South Americans will I think.

Ps Chant No 2 is my fav. :)

Bit of a noisy bunch, aren't they ??

Hope they're not gonna start with that sort of 'carry on' outside City's hotel in the dead of night!

 

[Tbilisi]

Absolutely. To win it would be incredible on so many fronts.

When the European Cup first started, only the likes of Real Madrid and a few others took it seriously.

Turned out okay for them...

Agree, this is not going away, we may never qualify again.

I think how many turn up depends largely on the number of people who are detained on entry to the US and sent to a gulag in El Salvador.

I hope City use it to develop the younger players such as O'Reilly, Khusanov, Reis and Echeverri.

 

[Don Karleone]

I get why we should play in it, but I'm just not arsed about it. I'll watch us, that's about it.

100%

Hopefully they all feature in the group games. We should be comfortably qualifying for the knockouts. My only worry is Pep is insistent of fielding a strong team in the champions league regardless of the opponent. Can see him doing the same here.

 

[Ben123]

Think he will go with the reserves in the groups and once the knockouts start we will go a lot stronger.

Extra couple of games for the players but the club are very likely gonna be very well compensated for that

 

[Goater101]

….who??.

Fuck this competition.

Use it to play the players who are in the shop window and the kids. Let the first team rest up. We’ve got a Premier League title to win.

Oh good, so a lot safer then with all the gangsters expelled

 

[youngbob]

Trialist
Lewis, Bah, Khusanov, O'Reilly
Grealish's dad, Rodri, McAtee
Echeverri, Carson, Bobb

No idea. Who gives a stuff.

I can't see Wydad taking loads, as it's an expensive trip and Morocco doesn't strike me as a place where there's much disposable income knocking about.

Think you're right about the South Americans, Fluminese certainly took more to Saudi than we did, despite having to travel twice as far.

for 100 million we wont be playing the kids, win this and thats a 3rd of the Etihad new build payed for, i think some on here are under estimating what this competition is and why it has been formed,it will be Bigger than the CL in a decade

 

[Superace]

Of course we will qualify again

 

[chesterbells]

Short-sighted & narrow-minded to not take this seriously imho.

 

[Ric]

Will be interesting to see how we approach this tournament as a whole, but tbh I’m really not arsed at the moment. Looking forward to a few weeks off from football!

I don't think you can play the kids anyway.

I read yesterday that FIFA will oust you out of the tournament if player personnel contract agreements are not met.

I agree with you last statement. This tournament is being spoke about in the English football sphere in the same manner the European Cup/ CL was spoke about in the 1950's and the English teams felt it was beneath them.
