I don`t like to be negative, but this is a total irrelevance of a tournament. I know many of the players on show will be on eye-watering salaries, but they shouldn`t be asked to play virtually all year round.
How many days between the end of this tournament and the start of pre-season training?
Not your average Sunday League player.

I agree, not only do i think the players need a break bit I think fans do to.
I know I like space to watch, get involved and just even think about other things, so i can then look forward to seeing football again when the season starts up again
Also theres the law of diminishing returns, the more competitions you have, the more you devalue the ones you already got

Fitbaw is fitbaw, I`m sure the games will be fairly competitive due to the money involved.

You can never usually get too much of a good thing, but I think there are too many competitions that make too many demands on players and fans. Will those who control the sport end up killing the golden goose?

Two points. Firstly when the European Cup first started I think only a handful of national champions participated. Reaction from media and supporters was lukewarm. Was it any better received in it`s second year? I don`t know but Real Madrid still count both successes in those years as major trophies. I`m sure a similar argument could be made regarding the World Cup. None of these tournaments begin as being successes. They grow into it. It may be the same with this competition in years to come.
Secondly, we have a very Eurocentric view on this. We`ve got the champions league and the other Euro competitions which bring in huge sums of money and allows European clubs to remain top of the tree. What about the South American clubs though and the others from the Americas and Africa and so on? Maybe they are ecstatic with the eye watering sums of money on offer in this tournament as well as the extra global media exposure on them.
And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

Not surprising - it’s effectively Bayern Vs Arbroath. Auckland left some players in NZ as they had work commitments so couldn’t travel. They are a part time side btw, in the competition due to winning the Oceana Champions League.

Think it`s more Bonnyrigg Rose v Bayern.
Disappointed in Bayern they looked like they wanted more than 10. Because Juniors next for Auckland..🫣.
Still £3.5 million not to be sniffed at.

Auckland`s amateur players reportedly have a salary cap of 150 New Zealand dollars (around £66) per week, while Harry Kane is reported to be earning £400,000 per week at Bayern. On that basis, it would take Auckland`s best-paid player about 117 years to earn Kane`s weekly salary.
Auckland`s squad is valued at 4.58m euros (around £3.9m) by Transfermarkt, while Bayern`s is valued at 903.5m euros (around £769m).
Oceania`s sole representatives at the tournament, Auckland are getting £2.6m in prize money for taking part, while European clubs – including Bayern – stand to earn between £9.9m and £29.6m.
Bayern are currently ranked sixth in Opta`s Power Rankings – a global team ranking system – but Auckland are down in 5,074th, over 2,500 places below English National League side York City
