The summer of soccer is taking a new look this year with the FIFA Club World Cup, which brings the first edition of the expanded competition to the United States for a 32-team tournament featuring teams from around the world competing for a share of the $1 billion prize purse.
Several high-profile teams are taking part in the new-look competition, from UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain to Argentine giants Boca Juniors, each of whom will be targeting deep runs. European teams make up most of the field with 12 teams, while South America will have six participants. Four teams from Asia and Africa will also take part, while five – including three MLS teams – make up the field from North America. Oceania also has one spot, earned by the lone amateur side at the competition, Auckland City.
The objectives are similar across the board but the stakes vary from team to team. While Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami and Simone Inzaghi-led Al-Hilal hope to make a dent as underdogs in a competition expected to be dominated by European teams, several teams crossing the Atlantic Ocean aim to live up to the hype. The list includes Real Madrid, Manchester City and Inzaghi’s former side Inter, who ended their domestic and continental campaigns trophyless and have one of final piece of silverware to chase before the season comes to a close.
With the action underway, here’s a glance at the schedule and results from the Club World Cup.

Benches clear in Anaheim after Zach Neto hit by pitch
ANAHEIM, Calif. — There appears to be no love lost between Zach Neto and Hunter Brown.Neto, the Los Angeles Angels’ shortstop, made that known when he was hit on his right wrist in the third inning of a 3-2 Houston Astros win Friday. Brown’s 95 mph sinker ran in, and Neto, who crowds the plate, couldn’t get out of the way.The benches cleared, words were yelled, but there were no ejections.Neto was particularly upset because it’s the second time Brown has hit him, dating back to a hit-by-pitch in a similar situation last season.“You go back to the history that we have, it’s not the first time that he’s done it,” Neto said. “For him to go up and in like that again, it’s just enough is enough.”AdvertisementBrown, predictably, saw it differently.“Yeah, I mean, honestly, he almost swung,” the Astros […]

Merentiel is the hero Boca thought Cavani would be. His wonder goal will make them dream

Fotbalisté Bayernu porazili Bocu Juniors a na MS klubů postoupili do osmifinále
Bayern vstoupil do turnaje rekordní výhrou soutěže 10:0 nad amatéry z Aucklandu. Dobře začal i proti Boce, protože v 18. minutě otevřel skóre první trefou na současném MS kanonýr Kane. Argentinský celek, který v úvodu remizoval s Benficou Lisabon 2:2, srovnal zásluhou Merentiela. Duel pomalu směřoval k dělbě bodů, jenže v 84. minutě zařídil triumf a zároveň postup mnichovského celku Olise.„Výsledek a tři body jsou ze všeho nejdůležitější. Těší nás povedený začátek turnaje a postup do osmifinále,“ citovaly agentury brankáře a kapitána Bayernu Manuela Neuera.Zápas se hrál v Miami před 63.587 diváky. O vynikající atmosféru se postarali zejména příznivci slavného argentinského týmu. „Fanoušci byli úžasní, což ale není žádná novinka. Porážka samozřejmě bolí, ale naši diváci byli neskuteční. Boca je o společné práci: mužstva i fanoušků. Takoví jsme,“ uvedl trenér Miguel Ángel Russo.Publikum ocenil i jeho protějšek Vincent Company. „Prožil jsem dlouhou kariéru a hodně toho zažil. Jsou chvíle, kdy chcete být hráčem a tohle byla jedna z nich. Dav se choval nepřátelsky […]
