    Would make it into a diddy competetion. Also couldn't be classed as 'Club World Cup'. It also would be dominated by South America.

    Atlético Mineiro beat Guangzhou Evergrade 3 x 2 in the third place play off. Atlético-MG were a different team to the one that lost in humiliating fashion to Raja. Ronaldinho got another great free-kick goal but he was also sent off - the horrible cherry on top of the cake.

    Sadly, again the entire tournament was a failure to launch. I think FIFA need to look at the rules that give the host nation a team. No offence to Raja, but I think their presence made a bit of a mockery of the competition. The European champions playing a team currently mid table in the Moroccan Botola to decide who will be "club world champion". A fairy tale for Raja no doubt, but for the tournament as a whole not too beneficial, especially with all the doubters still on it's back.

    Both of the "big teams" were disappointing. Bayern won but their performances were lacklustre, looking as if they couldn't be bothered. Atlético-MG after months of preparation got stuck in off field problems involving Cuca moving to China and went down to Raja, depriving us of what was meant to be the "show piece" game.

    Well roll on Morocco again next year then back to Asia.

    I disagree with you, Atlético was so awful as they were agains Raja, Guanzhou was better than them. It's only that Raja was far more efficient than the Chinese.

    Thought Raja Casablanca done really well in this, maybe had the fact of them playing in Morocco as an advantage, but still beating CAM was a really good achievement. I would like to see a bigger intercontinental cup, like the last 8/4 from each confederation's champs league vs each other would be good.

    I wouldn't say they were that bad. They managed to come from behind to win against a good quality side. They are of course still playing far below their potential.

    Are you happy with the appointment of Paulo Autuori as the new coach for Atlético? Do you think he'll be successful or just another stop on his ridiculously long list of past jobs?

    He got sent off in the 87th minute. He was fouled and then kicked out in response.
