Re: ? Sportsbet.io ? FIFA Club World Cup ? Discussion thread
Yes, theoretically I can believe that Chelsea will hold out until the penalty shootout and be lucky there. Bookmakers, by the way, also consider this option as probable - the chances are 1 to 3.19, which is significantly less than 5+, which would be profitable.
I guess it's time to sum it up (there's no point for me to look at both pots haha), I hope the next Club World Cup will firstly not be held in the US, since delays of games due to weather are just nonsense. And secondly, I'm not even sure that this tournament is needed, players get year-round burnout, this is not normal. So far from what I've seen, I haven't noticed any real value/emotions that the fans received. This is a weaker version of the Champions League.
I would rather look at how external (in relation to Europe) clubs get wild cards in the Champions League. For example, those that in normal time zones can do it.

I actually believe this can happen. We are all gonna expect goals but if Chelsea find a way, 1-1 to Extra Time or even 0-0 could be possible, a correct 0-0 score at FT and 1-1 at ET (1 pre game draw and then allin livebet again for draw at FT) can bring 10x
I agree with your take on CWC. Fan turnout from Brazil is big wherever you want but if there was not 4 teams from there, we would get empty stadiums. US Americans didn't give a shit about it, many reports of people wondering why so much traffic near stadiums.
Champions League wildcards is a damn better idea. Saudi playing in Gold Cup is a good example of how this can work.
Big shame indeed, at least Barca gave PSG the best game of 2025. This was like worst game of 2025, welcome to your real face of circus Real Xabi Alonso
I never thought for a second that Real Madrid could win the match against Paris Saint-Germain, it's clear that they are no longer the Real Madrid of the past, the Galacticos, and you can see it even with the new additions the team is not performing and against the big teams they struggle absurdly
Last season they struggled against 'small teams' too. So are you joining us in BSFL or other football pools next season like La Liga or are you just coming in to this thread to randompost?
