So many people complained why the Club World cup was brought to the US but now I think they are trying to see or should I say, FIFA is using this in watering the ground for the main event of next year. Currently, Infantino said "stadiums with roofs will be used to ease concerns over severe weather in the World cup" European players especially really complained of heat after when they go there and if you noticed, they stadium was equipped with mobile ACs in the stands.
Mobile ACs aren't enough when stadium will be full and FIFA using this competition as a test is certainly a clever move but it ruined it. They were able to do this with another simple competition like friendlies for national teams..
I wonder by the way why FIFA didn't include a game between the two teams that lost, I mean Real Madrid and Fluminense. It would be interesting to see which team will end third and fourth.
