Tara Moran+FollowBenfica Blitz: Di María Dominates AgainWow, what a rough Club World Cup run for Auckland City—back-to-back routs, this time a 6-0 thrashing by Benfica! Di María (aka Fideo) showed his class with two penalty goals, while Barreiro also bagged a brace. The match had everything: a thunderstorm delay, a heated spat over an injury stoppage (yellow card for Carreras), and a second-half goal avalanche. Benfica’s attack just overwhelmed Auckland, especially after the weather break. Anyone else think Auckland deserved better in the first half? #ClubWorldCup #Benfica #AucklandCity #Sports #Soccer00Share
kochcandice+FollowThunderstorm Chaos Halts Benfica’s Big NightWow, what a wild night in Orlando! Benfica’s clash with Auckland City at the Club World Cup was put on ice for nearly two hours thanks to a monster thunderstorm. Fans—already buzzing from Angel Di Maria’s cool penalty—had to dash for cover as lightning lit up the sky. This isn’t the first time weather’s crashed the party Stateside, and some supporters are questioning if the US is the right home for the tournament. What do you think—bad luck or bad planning? #ClubWorldCup #Benfica #AucklandCity #Sports #Soccer10Share
Malik Williams+FollowBayern’s 10-0 Rout: Club World Cup Farce?Did anyone else catch Bayern’s demolition job on Auckland City? A 10-0 scoreline in a so-called 'world championship'—come on! The Bavarians, stacked with world-class talent, looked like they were training against part-timers. Meanwhile, giants like Liverpool and Barça (with Salah and Yamal!) aren’t even in the tournament. Is this really the best global club football can offer, or is FIFA missing the mark? Curious to hear if anyone thinks this format actually works. #ClubWorldCup #Bayern #AucklandCity #Sports #Soccer00Share
Jillian Morse+FollowBayern’s 10-0 Club World Cup Rout: Fair or Farce?Wow, what a statement from the Bavarian giants! Bayern Munich absolutely steamrolled Auckland City 10-0, setting a new Club World Cup record. King Coman opened the floodgates early, and Musiala’s second-half hat-trick just rubbed salt in the wound. But is this kind of mismatch really what the expanded Club World Cup needs? Auckland’s part-timers gave it their all, but the gulf in class (and budget!) was staggering. Should Fifa rethink the format after this? #ClubWorldCup #BayernMunich #AucklandCity #Sports #Soccer20Share
