Brazil already dominate South America financially, probably 3-4x larger than the Premier League's dominance over other European leagues.

The way they have all performed will make it even more skewed. Brazilian clubs are mostly minted already, I am amazed at how they let European clubs steal their players so cheap. The bigger clubs in SA have bigger revenues than us even with PL money!

It is a good job this tournament is only every 4 years as it would pretty much wreck every domestic league if it was every year. Although based on this I will be shocked if the prize money continues to grow in this tournament.

I have gone into it with a pretty open mind but I think it has been a pretty shockingly bad tournament. They should have hosted it in Europe or South America, it's made a mockery of the thing being in the states - it just emphasizes the point that nobody cares about it.

But yes PSG in particular will have bucket loads to spend. Not only the Club World Cup money but the Champions League pot which has increased, they must have gained about 250m-300m in prize money this season alone. I bet their total revenue this year will be close to all the other Ligue 1 teams put together!

If FIFA make a ton of money it will be held every year, and the gullible will lap it up & watch it because they're brain washed, even if it does ruin domestic leagues

The tournament was only possible because the Saudi's pumped a billion quid into the main broadcaster the very last minute & they bid the exact same amount invested for the TV rights.

There is no appitite for the competition from anyone, FIFA will make naff all from it as the Saudi's won't give them a billion quid every 4 years.

Glad to hear it, we can just file it under 'pile of shite that nobody's interested in' and not revisit it

Player goes from the beach to appearing and scoring in a “major tournament “, does make a bit of a mockery of the whole pre season thingy! 😂

Anyhow, semi final number two in the Edward Yates Galaxial Super Universal Championship Cup sees PSG up against Real Madrid today. Should be an interesting game, even though it doesn't really exist.

There hasn’t been a team so clearly the best team in the world since Pep’s Barca

It has come from nowhere as well, credit where it’s due

You know what I thought it was going to be this new Barcelona team and they did look like it could be them with all the great young players they have but this PSG team have that too but seem a level above them

PSG are great to watch, remind me of Forest hitting people on the break, fast flowing, off your seat football.
Doue is one of the most exciting footballers I’ve seen in a long time. Don’t mind if he replaces Elanga.
