Tara Moran+FollowBenfica Blitz: Di María Dominates AgainWow, what a rough Club World Cup run for Auckland City—back-to-back routs, this time a 6-0 thrashing by Benfica! Di María (aka Fideo) showed his class with two penalty goals, while Barreiro also bagged a brace. The match had everything: a thunderstorm delay, a heated spat over an injury stoppage (yellow card for Carreras), and a second-half goal avalanche. Benfica’s attack just overwhelmed Auckland, especially after the weather break. Anyone else think Auckland deserved better in the first half? #ClubWorldCup #Benfica #AucklandCity #Sports #Soccer00Share

rogerschristine+FollowTAA’s Madrid Debut: Room to Grow?Well, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s first run-out in white wasn’t quite the fairy tale some hoped for. Spanish media didn’t hold back, pointing out his defensive lapse that nearly gifted Al-Hilal a goal (thank you, offside flag!). While the Scouser’s trademark passing was off and he looked gassed in Miami’s heat, Marca and Defensa Central agree: there’s talent, but plenty to fix. Early days for TAA—can he shake off the nerves and become a Bernabéu favorite? #RealMadrid #TAA #ClubWorldCup #Sports #Soccer10Share
kochcandice+FollowEmpty Seats, Big Stakes: Club World Cup WoesAnyone else catch the ghost town vibes at Inter&Co Stadium for Sundowns vs. Ulsan? Only 3,400 fans showed up, making it the lowest turnout of the tournament—even with FIFA hyping up those 1.5 million tickets sold. While Messi packed Miami and Chelsea drew a crowd in Atlanta, this Group F clash looked more like a training session than a global showdown. Despite the empty stands, the Brazilians edged out Ulsan 1-0 to top their group. Is this a wake-up call for FIFA’s big plans stateside? #ClubWorldCup #EmptyStadium #Sundowns #Sports #Soccer10Share

rogerschristine+FollowTebas vs. FIFA: Club World Cup Chaos?La Liga’s top dog, Javier Tebas, just threw down the gauntlet—he wants FIFA’s expanded Club World Cup scrapped ASAP! He’s calling out Infantino for turning the tournament into a cash grab that’s wrecking player health and jamming up the calendar. With empty seats at Chelsea’s opener and Spanish stars like Carvajal and Koke facing season delays, is Tebas right to call this a flop? Or is he just protecting La Liga’s turf? The debate is heating up! #ClubWorldCup #LaLiga #FIFA #Sports #Soccer10Share
