Nice looking kit
Nicely understated. Will go well with Leviās and Sambas 
Thatās not a good look.

Meh. At least they got rid of that ludicrous shiny lenticular badge.
Except he generally wonā¦
ā¦ nothing. Hence Tuchel (at phenomenal expense I imagine).
Stupid game, stupid tournament, Chelsea same old butā¦But a 30 minute cameo from Delap suggests we have something different now.
At least until Maresca systems it out of him.
Respect to sports fans in Atlanta for staying away, despite the whole Americanisation of the thingā¦Superior Player of the Match and allā¦

Iām firmly in the camp of ājust whyā do we have yet another tournament with some hopelessly mismatched games BUT as a lover of South American football there are games here to excite. Boca v Benfica last night was great and Fluminense v B Dortmund on now is also terrific. The tournament winner will be a good side for sure.

Do these players get any sort of a decent holiday? Season not long ended, international games played (friendlies and qualifiers) and pre season coming up in a couple of weeks - I donāt know what they are feeding them!!

They must have a lot of knocks and I would hope at least a month to recover

The players, sadly, are just cash cows I think. That said theyāre so well paid itās difficult to be too sympathetic.
One thingās for sure, my own team couldnāt live with this level of performance. The big teams arenāt messing around. Theyāre in it to win it.

So our first game is moved to Monday night v Everton. Nothing changes. Thankfully itās a home game. Let someone else try the docks first. Our first 5 are tougher than the first 5 for Burnley & Sunderland. Let the fun begin.
Although I am not convinced we need such a competition, I will pick and choose a few games to watch as the timings work well for me.
The first half of Real Madrid vs Al Hilal has been very entertaining so far

Al Hilal have been surprisingly good I think. And I agree, pick and choose games. By the semis or whatever they do we should have some evenly matched sides.

Tough start to the PL season for The Arsenal
Man United away, Leeds United home, Liverpool away, Nottingham Forest home, Court Case FC home, Newcastle United away.
No puerile team names this coming season please Bob 
A Newcastle supporter would say that

Watching Chelsea vs Flamengo. Chelsea concede 2 in 3 minutes to go 2:1 down and so send Nicolas Jackson on. 2 minutes later he gets a straight red for a truly ugly challenge. No matter what skill this guy has, he is a liability for his team.
