    Football is increasingly behind pay walls, let's be honest this did not have the exposure that a new tournament should get. Chelsea and Man City might pay for this abomination yet

    The fiasco at the cup presentation. Their cup triumph history photo will show that the trophy was won by Chelsea and Donald Trump. Even Cole Palmer could be lip read saying 'what the fuck is he doing here'.
    This will run for years as a joke, even more than John Terry getting his kit on for the cup presentation back in the day.
    Reece James was obviously embarrassed and uncomfortable.. Virgil would have just booted him off the stage.

    There's en element within our mob that'd be going berserk - calling us World Club Champions..Best in the world etc.. had that been us beating PSG last night.

    It's cringe but when you are the nations most successful club - you get the cling ons.. DOn't know what Chelsea's excuse is... Well I do.. They're a nothing of a club.

    US President being roundly booed throughout. The use of military planes, US national anthem and Trump ignoring Infantino to stay on the podium. Meanwhile thousands of innocents are being rounded up into concentration camps

    Fairly sure it could be watched for free in most countries. In Ireland you just needed to sign up with dazn for a free account to watch it. I didn't bother as I'd no interest in it. But they should have put it out for free on social media if they wanted more engagement.
    Like the new CL format by uefa, the new wcc had little protestation from fans in the UK.

    He looked ridiculous but it was funnier than Terry in his kit imo.
    No way a footballer is man handling the head of state, VVD included

    Think you're using the term concentration camps in the wrong manner.

    A concentration camp is a prison or other facility used for the internment of political prisoners or politically targeted demographics, such as members of national or ethnic minority groups, on the grounds of national security, or for exploitation or punishment.

    Being imprisoned for breaking the law is different to being placed in a concentration camp.

    There is no evidence that anyone there is a criminal and all the illegal immigrants/undocumented there are Hispanic, so it means they have been targeted due to their ethnicity. They are concentrated into a small space, which is the original idea of the term concentration camp used by the British in the Boer War.
