As far as this crappy idea of having the semis from the CL and make am play teams like Yokohamo Marinos or dslfkjskgjhsandlkv;bsnfkb ....
Players are complainting already for being over charged and addind gas to the fire is BS.
i keep on disagreeing...just look at the matches that real madrid is playing all around...it was an exciting match against chivas, u cant deny it...it was just a friendly...when u got the 'challenge' of an important match in a 'cup' things look different, I'm saying it...
don't get offended dude...but i find such a nasty atitude from u and others here think that the rest of the world don't care...if it really didn't, u wouldn't see players out of the south america-europe duo doing great in clubs. u wouldn't even see players from small countries of those continents doing it.
how secure can u be that kind of playes wouldn't come out greatly in a world cup of clubs like that? maybe with a great performance against ur big club, for example...
about teams in semis...well, I remember dinamo kyiv had a great squad when schevchenko, shirt 10, was first 'shown' to the world. as far as I remember, the squad was 'dissolved' next year, and many of those excellent players got lost around.
i think that if u 'qualified' a team to world cup, which had qualified to a semi in its continental league maybe 2 years before, u would push the managers to keep a good squad, so they'd participate in that cup with a team compatible to the reputation they got after qualifying to that semi.
it is easy for a big club fan to talk, after all u are the predators of football, just put the money into managers and players noses, and it's ok, you bring the best and are able to keep them for 4, 5 years. it's not the same for smaller, 'insignificant' as you almost put, teams.
