Onward! -- New riffs on the Club World Cup

[Ben Knight]

“High drama” becomes “Who cares?” (http://onwardsoccer.com/2008/12/17/%e2%80%9chigh-drama%e2%80%9d-becomes-%e2%80%9cwho-cares%e2%80%9d/)

By Ben Knight

So what do you do when the thing you really love leads directly and ultimately to a hollow farce that is pretty much a waste of everybody’s time?


Yeah. All us 40-something divorcees and singles all just had the same thought at the same time, didn’t we?


Ah, but it is not affairs of the heart I wish to speak of this morning. Rather, it is Mexican soccer side Pachuca, and their 0-2 loss to Liga de Quito of Ecuador, last night in Tokyo in the semifinal of the Club World Cup.

Good writing Ben.

It might be waste of jet fuel,like you said,but I wouldn't mind to see TFC playing in Tokyo.

Hey, Denime!

Listen, it's very cool with me if you still want to post some of my stories here. It certainly brings folks to my site -- and I love the comments that break out here.

Merry Christmas! // Ben

Great read.

Isn't the next two years of the FIFA Club World Cup in United Arab Emirates? In Abu Dhabi? Tokyo would be amazing, but wow, even more cash and fuel would be needed to see TFC play in UAE. Just imagine...

great piece Ben, me and boris actually cought ourselves watching a match in a pub last week, i think on friday. As for cash and fuel to play in the UAE, I think there is enough to go around in the UAE, plus Emirates is one hell of an airline

It should stay in Dubai or Abu Dhabi or wherever in the Emirates it is (can't remember). It's the perfect location.
