"sometimes" ke?
Abeg change the "sometimes" to always .
He dey always belittle his opponents , he will field players as if his team is playing under 13

when you say belittle e go be like say he's a very good coach to begin with.

Maresca isn't tactiaclly smart, he's just barely average at best. To me it was even cos of the fact he rates flamengo high he decided to play this setup to tame them. But the thing is he overraters his tactical abilites. He's like the jackson for coaches

omotola90:
chelsea can get to the final na abi you think it ain't possible?

And that is where Maresca comes in......

Atleast the good thing anout this loss is we wont see Jackson for the rest of the competition. He won't even start next season cos he is still serving ban for his red from last szn.

Hopefully na bye bye.

The real problem is how to handle maresca cos that man sometimes behaves like he dey see ovulation

timbros:
The way Jackson was muttering to himself when walking away come make me dey pity am sef

Dude dey ask himself which kind spirit enter him head.. Lol

Its not spirit. Hes just a spiteful person. Bro was probably pissed and frustrated Delap started ahead of him. Same way he went and collected redcard against newcastle for no reason. Jackson is a spiteful player who hates criticism and competition.

drisham:
south American teams are good


But I honestly don't believe we will compete for major honors with this team

Let see sha

With a coach like maresca i don't even know what to expect. A very big clown

Pedro's goal was solely individual brillance. Flamengo wan kill us for this match and we were lucky in the first half. Maresca and this stupidity of showcasing tactical ineptitude at grandstages is the reason we might even struggle.

We were lucky vs betis when he did similar nonsense in the first half. Obviously S.Americans are no jokers

AirBere:
That's why I said that a non European team winning it may have some dent on all those talk about coming to Europe to prove oneself.

If you said that Jackson won't start in a club like Flamengo before this tournament, nobody will agree with you. Right now, some will be in agreement.

Those southy guys only go to europe make money and enjoy life at the fullest. Once they're tired they go back to their S. American clubs to relax and tell tales.

Players like Jackson wont even make the bench in any of these south american clubs

Jackson


Maresca is a clown. Lmaoooooo

PSG collect for night

Na Chelsea turn. European champions just dey collect left and right

I love the new CWC. Because now we can see the quality of other continents especially the S.american clubs.

Before today many had no idea who Botafogo were. But we can see how they humbled PSG to the point that people are pressing calculators and checking head2head to know their chances of making it out of their own group to start with.

People don dey fear say these S. American clubs aren't as easy as they thought. Meanwhile all the SA. Clubs are still unbeaten while we have european giants like Porto and ATM about to crash out. Now imagine we had 6 european clubs in the competition instead of 12 while S. America's had 12 instead of 6. Imagine the dominance

I’ve said this time and again, FIFA continues to show bias and favoritism toward European teams, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.


If FIFA is serious about fairness, diversity, and global representation, then the allocation of World Cup slots must be rebalanced. Every region deserves a fair shot , not just Europe. Until then, this system will continue to tilt the odds in favor of those who already have the upper hand.

Everything you wrote buttresses the point i've been talking about.
South America has 12 countries and only 4 or 5 represents at every WC. Out of the 12, most of them can't even boast of half of the financial and material resources each of top european countries make in football. How many top football academies do we have in SA?
Who watches SA leagues or tournaments, even their Copa america can't be compared to europe. Also the playing conditions favours europe.

They will tell you that european countries has the most WC and european players dominate and more talented. But for almost every top 5 players for almost every position South Americans are always there.

Europe has over 50 countries. FiIFTY.

And their football is mostly dominated by immigrant players. They have the luxury of assembling african players, south american, etc to rep their countries or clubs. Southy dey on their own but even with all these limitations they still stand their grounds.

Europe with her 50+ countries has just 12 WC to show for it
S. America has over 9 WCs. If we ratio it SA is obviously clear

Lana1:
You're trying to mix Club World Cup with World Cup when we are talking of the Club World Cup here.

As far as club world cup goes, Europe dominates that competition as the majority of past winners are European. Not South American. South American clubs are doing well in this new club world cup format but they haven't won anything yet.

As far as the World Cup itself goes, England and Spain dont dominate anything from Europe. Lol. England. Those ones that haven't won anything since before black and white tv. As far as world cup goes, Germany and Italy are dominating powers from Europe and maybe France if we want to account for recency bias.

Dont mix up the two competitions

You have it twisted....We are talking about South America and Europe as a whole in general. The 2 continents partaking in the same tournament and competition. Be it the Confederations cup or World cup for the countries from both continents or now the new cwc tournament for clubs from both continents.

This CWC is an inaugural one. A first of its kind and isn't totally not like previous ones so its not about those previous types where they start from semis and ride to glory

This is like a worldcup standard tournament settings for clubs.

Kimbeast:
Top keepers of all time - Europe would dominate this category.

Top defenders of all time - Europe

Top midfielders of all time - Europe

Top forwards of all time - slight edge to South America but even then Europe will be slightly just behind them.

Cc Dumaempire

ofcos Europe also dominates, number of europeans countries in the Worldcup - Europe
Number of european clubs in the new CWC - Europe
Most watches leagues- Europe
Most followed continent- Europe
Richest and most wealthy- Europe.

But base on pure talents and pedegree in international tournaments like the WC we can all see how South American countries step up to the occasion. If we're to ratio it all down SA is certainly most talented.

Even this CWC can show it. For each european club there are several players from several continents including SA. SA clubs are 90% dominated by SA players. Do they share the amount of priviledges or resources of the European countries or clubs Not even the slightest but still compete at the highest level and if we were to ratio it down, they definitely top. South Americans clubs, countries and players are pure refined talents and dominant

I never said they dominate european countries or clubs cos they certainly don't have the resources but in competitions and tournaments like this they ars dominant and obviously more talented

Sportsweb:
He deliberately mentioned Spain and England with just 1 world cup and forgot Germany and Italy have 4 world cup each

I mentioned Spain and England because they are the 2 countries that dominate European club football. Hence why i laid emphasis on the fact thay with all their vast football knowledge they can only boast of 1 WC.

Bimmarlykay:
I still wonder why Nigerian EPL fans so love Europe, they can seem to let go.😁

Comparing great footballers/talents, someone be mentioning Europe over SA.

Europe sef dey try, they also dominate and have great talents.

But lets be real, SA is like the raw material of football. That continent na football hub

Sportsweb:
so Italy and Germany plays cricket now abi

Does any of them have 5 worldcup trophies to show for it.

South America, a continent of 12 countries has just 5 in the worldcup, europe has almost triple that amount in each worldcup

Yet the countries with the most world cups can't be counted without 3 of those 5 traditional SA countries there. Country with the most WC is a South American one, no european team has more.

The CWC already showing how distinctly competitive South american clubs are and how talented and dominant they are in this format. And majority of the players are south Americans unlike most european clubs thats mixed with all types of players from several continents.

Kimbeast:
They don't have better talents and they also don't dominate.

Yea, because Messi, ronaldinho, kaka, neymar etc fell from pluto

Ronaldo who's considered one the greatest no 9 by many is from SA, how many leftbacks are better than R.Carlos, then there's Ronaldinho one of the best no. 10 ever. Neymar one of the best wingers as well.

Infact literally you can't mention top5 players for each position in football history without mentioning a south american, but somehow they don't dominte or have better talents Interesting

AirBere:
If a Non European team wins this inaugural competition eh, European football will suffer some level of de-marketing. All those let him come prove himself in Europe won't really fly as it used to be. It'll also encourage European teams to mount full force in the next edition.

All eyes on Chelsea Vs Flamengo.

I thought this was a normal thing. We also see it with the worldcup. The south american countries dominate in competitions like this cos they have the better talents. Countries like england and spain with all the football knowledge and european dominance have just 1 WC while brazil alone has 5.

Na normal thing SA clubs produce good players who european clubs end up buying. So ofcos they can compete with the best

Sportsweb:
That's why I said ATM is out, except they perform miracle. PSG will top the group because Dem go too paste Seattle Sounders

PSG can't top the group except Botafoga loses to ATM

Jackson trying to remind people we are not title contenders
