What a load of shit. The one time we get to the final we somehow don't get to play in the club cup.

FIFA really are trying to get a superleague going, £50m just by turning up and always the same teams invited.

Not really, It's a shit comp anyway, waste of time travel half way round the world to play a load of crap teams for some dead trophy that isn't really taken seriously.

There's a reason why it's getting scrapped.

The money would have been nice, and it would have been good for our profile.

"According to a report in The Times last year - before Liverpool even played Real in the Champions League final - the Reds were among the first invitees, along with Man United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Ajax, Juventus and Inter Milan.

Although reports later stated that the European clubs invited would be the Champions League winners, Champions League runners-up and Europa League winners from the four seasons up to and including the year of the event.

So Spurs won't be invited but Spurs will be invited really.

I dunno why everyone is losing their shit.
It's not like Lolerpool get to play in it but we don't.

It also looks like they're trying to make a genuine elite team tournament. IE, league winners from around the world.
