Wooo Mata, 1-0

Certainly this is a better way to spend a Thursday morning than being in the office.

[stokeriño]

Second half, 20 seconds, 2-0.

lol Monterrey

[stokeriño]

3-0. Two own goals in three minutes.

[brenchill]

This tournament is a joke.

I heard Luiz is playing a blinder in CM.

[stokeriño]

It's difficult not to play a blinder against this team.

[brenchill]

Is it on TV?

[stokeriño]

BBC HD channel

Lawro being disgusted that FIFA would actually send officials to the FIFA World Club Cup. The mans a moron. Also I can't believe they were waxing lyrical about that move that saw Mata shoot wide from offside, one pass that deflected through, an awful first touch, and a poke through to an offside player...

Otherwise, Chelsea bossing it, but since the tournament is pretty much Chelsea v Corinthians anyway its hardly surprising.

Mata could've just put a stonking through ball in to a sprinting Torres there, disappointed.

[brenchill]

Fantastic. I turn on to find a Mexican keeper with the ball 20 yards from his own goal.

[brenchill]

Monterrey are laughable.

Just to put things into prospective, how well do you think they would fair in the MLS?

[stokeriño]

Prospective, you say?

[Colly]

Fair, you say?

[Hobo]

I don't care what you all say, I like this tournament.

[stokeriño]

Moses to get a short stint up front. Nice.

[brenchill]

What was that tournament Man Utd played in once when they won a massive key?

[Colly]

Where they had to skip the FA Cup? It was this, but in a slightly different format. If not, no idea.

[stokeriño]

Haha, 3-1. There's charity.

[brenchill]

Where they had to skip the FA Cup? It was this, but in a slightly different format. If not, no idea.

I think it was a game the following season. I know it was in Japan, possibly against Japanese opponents. It wasn't this, though, because they didn't win it.

[MJB]

I think that was called the Intercontinental Cup, or something like that.

Although I think we got a key when we won this in 2008.

[The Future]

Yeah I think Rooney got a key for goal of the tournament or something of that sort when we won it in 2008
