Look, if you take Alumnus—who were the American champions—they had to start way back in the preliminary round held right here in Washington, D.C. They won their group and then headed over to Moscow for the Main Round. It’s not like big-time soccer where you actually travel for away games; they just pre-assign cities and host clubs ahead of time.
I've been following this nonsense for ages, and I honestly don't get why the cheapskates at FIFA haven't launched something resembling an actual Champions League yet. With the amount of cash flowing through that organization, setting up 16 teams in four groups of four would be a piece of cake—but nope, nothing changes. Just the same old grind.
Hardly anyone cares about this stuff—it lasts maybe eleven days out of the year, there's zero marketing, and the hosts for the main stages are almost always the massive clubs. Meanwhile, the little guys get stuck in those preliminary rounds against random futsal squads from Sweden, Estonia, and Albania🙄... honestly, it's pathetic.
Our club is going to have to spearhead some real movement once we actually get a shot at playing in this tournament. 🍿
