Club World Cup

Club World Cup now down to the last 16
A handful of decent games so far with a couple of shocks.
South American teams started well but both Argentine teams out, the four Brazilian teams all through.
Man City the only team with 3 wins, and did look good in the Juventus game.
Chelsea through despite a loss to Flamengo.
Bayern Munich, PSG, Real Madrid, Inter Milan all potential winners.

America proving it probably isn't the best place to hold a world cup.
Poor pitches, bad weather, poor crowds at many games, silly player introductions.
No Man of the Match, now Superior player of the Match πŸ™„
Games played at midday in 90f+ temperatures.
Home of the brave? "thunder storm ten miles away, stop play run for cover"

Six games so far stopped for weather delays, although I haven't seen any rain on the pitch.
Chelsea last 16 game taking nearly 5 hours to complete.

To be continued
