Additionally, they have to sent their best players to the CWC or they will get punished/banned by Fifa.

Liverpool should just send 11 random kids from Stanley park to the club world club. That's an absolute joke of a competition and waste of time for them. They tried quite hard to get knocked out of the League cup as well but Arsenal are just so bad it's not possible to lose to them.

edit: they also have the biggest lead ever in the Premier League. They can lose like 3 games and still be way ahead.


But Club world cup is a title liverpool never won. I am sure thats at least a bit attractive. And yeah with league cup they really tried to not advance haha

It's probably a bit attractive, but then again people keep reminding that Liverpool has never won the Premier League either and that's one attractive title.

The only reason European fans don't care about the club world cup is that European teams have been winning it regularly. In the past 12 CWCs, only one champion wasn't from Europe. If there was more competition i bet they would think it is interesting. Maybe the new CWC format can help, with more EU teams.

But i imagine at least the players take the tournament seriously enough to justify their huge salaries. Imagine losing to people who earn less than 1/10 as them.

I don't recognize any of the players in the squad that played ^^

Kelleher and Elliott actually played full minutes on the Arsenal match on previous round. Hoever is also recognizable from somewhere, no idea where.

I checked out some of the early 0-0 and the Liverpool kids actually played well. Apparently there was also a lot of travelling fan support for the kids. From what I gather, it went really well for everyone considering the unfortunate circumstances.

Anyone else hyped up for Flamengo vs Liverpool? I slightly fear a demolition by Liverpool and a lot of disappointment for our brothers in Brazil, but it should be a fun game to watch!

That is pretty much what should happen, at least on paper

EDIT: Market value is almost 10 times as much for Liverpool.
It could be the big breakout game for some of Flamengos youngster like Reinier

These are the numbers on the back of the Liverpool team that played at Villa Park. I'm guessing squad numbers don't really go down that far and they are arbitrarily chosen as a joke by Klopp trying to imply this isn't even their 5th best team. But still the point is made.

It also implies contrary to what I said that Liverpool care more about the 'Club World Cup' than I do.

I don't believe they care much at all, but Fifa forces them to bring their best team because of the money involved. I'm quite certain Liverpool would rather have skipped this stupid event entirely and played Villa with their best team.

There's a financial element too. I'm pretty sure most football people at the club couldn't give a shit. But I think it's quite lucrative for Liverpool. So the money men make the club care that's how the world works.

edit: That wasn't well worded as a response to InFiNitY. Yes I agree with you. There is a financial element too. My initial post makes it sound like I am completely ignoring you and had the idea all myself rather than agree with you.

Did I ever care who or what Flamengo Rio de Janeiro were? No

Obviously it's good for smaller clubs, but is it good for Liverpool? Might be I underestimated the potential value for the club regarding the arabian and south american football market. It's still a week of traveling and risking injurys in a critical period. So you have to weigh losing one cup title and potentially the PL title (although unlikely) vs winning the cwc.

It is important the other way around too. The European dominance in football in the past 20 years made possible to EU teams gain market share here in Brazil, it is not a huge market, but it is one for sure. Flamengo sold around 2.5 million shirts in 2018 (not counting pirate versions btw). I bet it doubled this year.
