Club World Cup: Toyota Cup Japan

As for that last one, I don't think there was an offside call, but I'll dig through the highlights later to be absolutely sure.

Regarding those other two, pretty sure they were ruled out properly.

Look, I already said it: the win for the LA Galaxy was well-deserved. I honestly don't get why everyone is making such a big deal out of it. 🙄

I am 200% certain Liverpool only took home the trophy because they didn't want to show their faces. It’s just like how you haven't posted a single thing in the Premier League thread for weeks.🤣
And of course, you conveniently forgot to mention that "mighty Chelsea" ended up finishing second in the group.

If you could just be consistent for once, maybe we'd have a conversation, but no—you're being incredibly biased. 🙄

I haven't really been following how this tournament has played out
Did Liverpool just embarrass international football as expected? 😉

It isn't an embarrassment when you're playing outside of Europe. I still remember those two incredible matches involving São Paulo; they took down heavyweights like AC Milan and Cruyff’s Barcelona in the Club World Cup back in '92 and '93—wins of 2-1 and 3-2. Those were hell of a games.

I suppose AC Milan used to be quite a powerhouse, though half their roster was already on its way out back then, much like it is now. 😁

The 1978 matchup between LIVERPOOL and BOCA JUNIORS never actually happened.

They just can't catch a break. Four finals, four losses.

Chloe Palmer2 said:Sure, Milan was a powerhouse back then, even if half the roster was nearing retirement, much like they are now.😁

What kind of "retirement" are we talking about? Those guys were European champions; the only ones even close to thirty were Massara and Papin.
