The most important club tournament in the world is just around the corner and an English team is in it after 7 years.
Let's give it the credit it deserves unlike those sneering cunts at Talksport who are blinded by their hatred from the Blatter years.

Been an interesting route.
AFRICA: Espearance Tunis (Tunisia) bt Wynad Casablanca (Morr).1-1 away first leg. Wynad refused to play 2nd leg over VAR.
Tunis declared winner.

EUROPE : Liverpool beat Tottenham 2-0 in Wanda Met,Madrid (Atletico) (Salah 2 pen, Orogi 87) on 1st June 2019
HOSTS: Al Sadd (Qatar) Winners of Qatar Stars League.
OFC Hienghène Sport defeated Magenta 1-0 in Noumea. Both teams from New Caledonia. A surprise absence of Oz/Kiwi teams.
CONCACAF: Monterrey beat UANL (both Mexico) (1-0 a) (1-1h)

The last 2 places undecided are:
CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores-2 legged finals discontinued. One off final played at a neutral venue
23 November 2019 Flamengo Brazil v Argentina River Plate at Estadio Monumental, Lima,Peru

AFC Champions League Final 2nd leg 24 November 2019
Urawa Red Diamonds Japan v Saudi Arabia Al-Hilal (0-1 agg)

If Flamengo get through...... the teams that contested the 1981 Toyota Cup classic are drawn to meet again.

With Flamengo winning the rematch of Tokyo 81 is on the cards, a pity the great Zico didn't get amongst the goals,
and a taste of the Beautiful Game proponents of the Brazilian team that were to feature in Espana ' 82 , the greatest team not to lift the World Cup.

In 13 December 1981 Liverpool 0–3 Flamengo (Nunes 12', 41',Adílio 34') all wrapped up by half-time.


Liverpool:Bruce Grobbelaar,Phil Neal.Phil Thompson (c).Alan Hansen.Mark Lawrenson, Sammy Lee,
Terry McDermott(Substituted off 51'), Graeme Souness,Ray Kennedy. Kenny Dalglish, Craig Johnston
Substitutes:
Steve Ogrizovic, Alan Kennedy,Kevin Sheedy,Ronnie Whelan, David Johnson-Substituted in 51'

LFC at their finest, beaten by South American types.

Brazil 1982. As per many times. Bewtiful. Look away the Scotch (bar Narey not included):



As per, still my favourite near miss, Eder v Argentina, great save by Fillol and Zico following up:

It's not Christmas on talkFORUM without SubSub and his port, wrapping up gifts listening to H and J AND Alco's World Club Cup thread.

Looking forward to it after last week's Flamengo game.

Christmas Eve a little different for me now.
I go to the pub at lunchtime with my boss for a couple, then meet Mrs subsub, have a few drinks, carols round the tree etc
But I will definitely have a glass of port while listening to the H&J Christmas show

Boycott.

World Cup 2022 as well.

The BBC said it would broadcast EVERY game in Qatar, Be interesting on the viewing figures for the first game

Al Sadd (Qatar) v Hienghène Sport (New Caledonia).
Has anyone been (or know someone) who has visited New Caledonia ?

The Story of the 2 Liverpools . They gave plenty warning to fans who would be naive to see regulars in the third-best English Cup
in preference to the most important club tournament in the world.

Also the ECA (European Club Association) are set to boycott the 2021 event as a backlash to expand the World Club Cup to 24 teams,
6 of which are European with early group games in the summer, to clash with Confederation Cups and Copa America, but also
a year where players can get a decent bi-annual rest between Euros and World Cups.

FIFA World Club Cup Semi-finals Doha, Qatar
17 December 2019 17:30
Flamengo v Al-Hilal
18 December 2019 17:30
Monterrey v Liverpool

Of course the other Liverpool (Liverpool reserves also have Villa in the Carbaoa Cup) .

Can the Reds emulate United (the only English winners) or will they fuck it up for a fourth time ?

Will anyone care?

Oh, nice of the slavekillers to let any interested gays in just for the week too. Awfully big of them.

Just realised that they also lost in 84 as well . Fourth time lucky. No tinkering Mr. Klopp and don't listen to English sport media.

A bit of topic but I can envisage Villa being shat on by da Pule reserves and their fringe players on Tuesday night.
