In case you missed it, Sunday marked completion of a month-long football (football) competition in the USA. The very first of its kind, with 32 groups from throughout the world, this tournament was a club version of the World Mug, which will certainly likewise be held in America following year, in addition to Mexico and Canada.
The event had a blended reception, even from its inception. I just became aware that rhymed, and probably that ought to be a motto for just how the event made out, as there were plenty of ups and downs. So, I will certainly examine whether this tournament was a success or a failing.
The Good
Usually, when individuals take a look at the success of a tournament or a club, they check out straightforward statistics that all boil down to money. But also for me, a good ambience is equally as essential. A leading European club may offer out weekly, yet it just informs half the tale if the stadium vibes are flat.
And this is where I was particularly pleased with the Club World Mug. The environments were mostly great, also when the groups weren’t. And it wasn’t simply the Latin American and European teams that supplied. Japan’s Urawa Reds suit against River Plate just attracted 12, 000, yet such was the voice of the fans that I thought it was even more.
