I really hate this recent trend of FAs creating new competitions just for the sake of generating more money. Even if its just elite level players effected by this, they are still human too. If they are really going to push for this, then they better start allowing bigger squads and more substitutions for matches.

true, even better was to have also national team in the tournament. Though i think they restricted that in the game, but you could make your own teams and choose them than ... I think the biggest problem for this is just the fact that the best teams play in Europe and this would be just a 2nd tier champions league... An other problem is just the fact that those different champions around the world just in a way dont really deserve to play for a trophy vs one of the best team, because they would have no chance in the champions league ... On the other hand each league slash continental cup has its own difficulties, but in a way these are a bit to nationalists and for that we have the world cup. But good way to fill the empty years of euros,etc. and world cup

I dread the knock on effect this could have because you either get lower quality games and more injuries/fatigue to great players but it could also cause the big clubs to spend even more beefing up their squads by plucking smaller clubs to have a deep enough squad to compete in every tournament which further consolidates their power. At the very least, don't make it a 32 team tournament so to limit the number of teams and players that have to play

Ronaldo , Messi and Busquets haven’t retired but footballers need to have pace and adaptability to stay in the game long term hence why many players aren’t able to and retire early while other like Ibra and Ronaldo play until their 40s.

I like the idea but there are too many tournaments now. Basically, it’s like having a major tournament every year. World Cup, then euro then World Cup then euro. Soon they’ll all be just the next game. Nothing more

One of the reasons why American football here in the US is loved is because there is a long enough Gap between the super bowl ending and the season starting (5 months or so). This builds anticipation for what the new season is going to bring and how teams have planned their squads. I'm not saying football should have this long of a gap, but like Craig said, their has to big a time frame where NO football is occurring (int competitions/friendless, mini club tournaments/exhibitions held in other countries). Not only do players get burnt out, but I'd say most fans also want to take a break from the sport for a few months.

this is a good point. im a big nfl fan and part of that is how well its organised and the long break is great for when it comes back. Football is like baseball sometimes. far to many games in general so you miss many.

No, the reason theres is gab in the NFL is because they want to keep players healthy. Otherwise most players won't last year without getting career ending injuries. Most teams in the NFL fall apart at the end due to injuries... It's an extremely violent sport. This is not even apples to oranges this is Apple's to a rock

United States were so busy when it comes to football before the real World Cup: 1.2024: Copa America (10 Conmebol + 6 Concacaf teams, 4 groups of 4 with 32 games). 2.2025: Club World Cup (8 groups of 4 with 64 games just like the old format of real World Cup). 3.2026: World Cup with Canada and Mexico (12 groups of 4 with 104 games). It's literally a sportswashing.

Spot on Craig - how many more comps does the world need? Every country has its league competition to worry about, plus its cup competition and continental competition. Throw in international duty as well, and it's a full calendar. At best, this Club World Cup will likely be bench players and those out of form.

this will be a competition where clubs call up all their youth team players and the squad gets heavily rotated between games. at least for the top European clubs. maybe teams from other continents will see it as an opportunity to prove they can compete with the best in the world but that's their decision. if i was Ancelotti or Pep, i'd be starting all the bench guys who don't get a lot of minutes and calling up youth team players to fill the gaps and come in as subs. players like Modric, De Bruyne, Kroos, etc., i'd tell them to stay on vacation.
