2025 FIFA Club World Cup USA

I'm currently sitting in front of the TV watching the FC Bayern Munich vs. Auckland City game. Is anyone else watching, or maybe even sitting in the Cincinnati stadium? Do we have any members interested in soccer here in the forum?

Sorry but when I saw Auckland playing Bayern I knew the outcome.

That's like my high school or college football team playing against the Green Bay Packers.

To me, this "championship" is just another money grab by FIFA.

We are waiting and hoping to get tickets to some of the World Cup games next year. My husband and daughter and nephew will go together. My husband follows every league game so I am sure he is watching it (he’s in Croatia visiting family till the end of June). Bonus points if there is a Croatian or Serbian on the team.

Not watching that game, but I am a football fan (though not of the US clubs that are playing).

Watching from between my interlaced fingers. This sort of match makes my stomach hurt! But then, I am a pathetic softie. :-)

And yes: footie fan! Love everything about the sport. It is sublime. We support Chelsea FC.

Well, I’m mostly excited because it’s taking place in Cincinnati, my hometown. I haven’t been to the new stadium yet because I moved right before they built it, but I’ve been a huge fan of FC Cincinnati for years.

Congrats to Bayern Munich!

I'm going to the Seattle Sounders v Botafogo game this afternoon. Going with our daughters and 5 of their friends.

Heather, I agree with you. I'm not really a big soccer fan, but I'm excited to see Thomas Müller play again before he retires from FC Bayern. I can't imagine FC Bayern without him. However, they did mention on TV that he might play in the USA. We will see.

Barbara, that sounds really good. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you get tickets.

As a Chelsea FC fan, are you happy to see the captain of the England national team at a game? Or is it rather annoying that he plays for FCB? FCB fans love him very much.

Congrats to Bayern Munich!

Thanks Mardee. Cincinnati and Munich belong together.

For those who may not know, Cincinnati is Munich's sister city.

@ JC and CL
Let's see what kind of tournament this will be. Maybe there will be some exciting matches to watch.

My kids and grandkids are in Pasadena at the Rose Bowl stadium watching Paris and Madrid play. So excited to see the game in the US!

I was surprised to see this morning (UK time) that the Seattle matches are anything but sold out.
I was also surprised at how reasonably tickets were priced.
I know someone who is going, with guests from Argentina.

I’ve only been to one soccer game, a Real Madrid game in Spain. We went because Luka Modriċ was playing. Now that he is playing for the Croatian National Team and retired from Real Madrid. my hubby is hoping to see him play some more.
He’s been to many of his games in various cities.

I am an IRATE taxpayer that got stuck for the $30,000,000 bill to put grass on the Seahawks field because ...... I have no idea why the european soccer world needs grass.

Seahawk OTAs are more interesting than a soccer game.
