Hi everyone, how’s it going?
If this question has been asked here before, I apologize. I did search for it, but couldn’t find anything.
Just to be clear, I am talking about this tournament:
- Intercontinental Cup (1960–2004))
- FIFA Club World Cup (2000-2023)
- FIFA Intercontinental Cup (since 2024)
Here in Brazil, we often have discussions about how much you, European fans, truly care about this tournament. Many people believe that you don’t really care, that players even play “without much motivation,” and that the Champions League is the only thing that truly matters. On the other hand, some people believe that you do care and genuinely value this tournament.
Recently, in a Brazilian football sub, someone even shared a video of a fan recording the penalty shootout between PSG and Flamengo to show how much you cared, since the crowd was clearly going crazy. However, with all due respect, I still have doubts about whether those fans were actually European PSG supporters who traveled there, or fans from other continents who were excited because it might have been their first time seeing PSG playing live.
If I came across as disrespectful to anyone, I apologize, that was not my intention. I’m really looking forward to reading your comments.
Merry Christmas (for those who celebrate) and have a great end of the year!
