Infantino wants it to be expanded to 24 teams. 12 from Europe, which could mean English teams featuring more often.
Which would be wonderful to hear the bitter resentment from Talksport Moaners about fixture congestion.
Who could forget the childish whinging and flounces from nasty little gnome Andy Jacobs when Chelsea flew to the other
side of the world and came back empty-handed in 2012 ?
I am disappointed of plans to move it to June. I enjoy the pre-Christmas distraction of this tournament in front of a roaring fire
as the decorations are being put up.

A club from New Zealand in the World Clb Championships. This competition is a farce.

It involves the winners of the various confederation Champions Leagues. They haven't been invited to fill a quota.

Yeah I know, but I reckon if you are going to have any competition, it should be decided by having the best teams competing.

We already have that, it's called the champions league.

Any competition should have the best teams competing in it, however many teams you allow in. That is why the WC is a farce. They could do away with the whole of the qualifying cmpetion, and give back Saturday aftrnoons to the club supporting fans.

The second leg of the Copa Libertadores final between Boca Juniors and River Plate has been moved more than 6,000 miles away to the Bernabeu in Madrid.The Buenos Aires derby was postponed last weekend, following an attack on the Boca team bus by River Plate fans.
Boca players suffered cuts from the glass from broken windows and were also affected by the tear gas used by police to disperse the crowds.
The match will now take place on Sunday, 9 December (19:30 GMT).

Away goal rule abandoned for the River-Boca game tonight so we could have pens. Just before the highlight of the footballing
calendar begins.

Seems it was a thriller last night, Alco.

Al Ain were 3-0 down to Team Wellington (is that a new version of Wellington Phoenix?) and got back to 3-3 before the dry state of Dubai put them away 5-4 on penalties.
