Today Is The World Club Cup Final…
Free…but does it really matter? Generally, the European Champions are the side would win such competitions such is the advanced style of football and the large financial backing of clubs from that continent. The competition may have had more relevance in the ’60’s and suchlike when players like Pele wouldn’t leave their homeland but these days, if you’re “anyone” in football, you’re playing in Europe. Still, whatever happens, I think it’s unlikely to be a whitewash so the match itself should be decent, although I do expect Manchester United to emerge victorious.
Anyway – what the hell happened on saturday? I mean, 90% of the time I’d say my predictions are either correct or only a goal away, which I personally think is pretty good. However, yesterday brought a few games around that you can only shrug your shoulders at and remain baffled by. Two of those games are Mouscron’s 4-1 demolition of Club Brugge despite trailing 0-1 after 20 minutes and also Hull City’s 4-1 loss at home to Sunderland. Still, yesterday was mostly productive and relatively predictable so I’m feeling rather content.
My favourites for the day’s picks? I like trebles such as the following, although in no particular order:
Standard de Liege, AEL Limassol, Aston Villa
PSV Eindhoven, America de Cali, Larissa
FC Twente, Arsenal, Girondins de Bordeaux
NEC Nijmegen, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus
SSC Napoli, Leixoes, Valladolid
Cagliari, Belenenses, Deportivo la Coruna
Vitoria Setubal, Getafe, Barcelona
Racing Club de Santander, Sevilla, Alaves
Ankaraspor, Denizlispor, Galatasaray
Sivasspor, Danubio FC, Rampla Juniors
