Club World Cup was a success and here to stay - but major flaws can't be ignored
The farcical scenes of Donald Trump gatecrashing Chelsea's trophy presentation was hardly a good look for the Club World Cup. Nor was FIFA president Gianni Infantino trying to be front and centre on the stage at MetLife as the final descended into chaos. It is a shame they tried to hijack Chelsea's moment of glory because it is the players, manager Enzo Maresca and the staff who really deserve to be in the spotlight. After a hectic month travelling around the United States, seven games culminated in Chelsea beating Paris Saint Germain with a sensational performance in the final to win the trophy and £97m in prize money. It should also be about a new-look competition which was controversial before it started, divided opinion throughout and yet you cannot deny that the big guns did take it seriously. It turned out to be better than many expected, the final drew a crowd of 81,117 and there was enough there to convince FIFA that it will become a staple diet of the football calendar. There have been so many cynics saying they have hated it before adding they have not watched a single minute as if that is some sort of boast. It's a bizarre attitude to take if you work in football. Shouldn't you be across it at all? For those with a more open mind, it was good. The football was of such a high level. PSG's win over Real Madrid was sensational. Chelsea's tactical masterclass in the final was brilliant. The Brazilian teams and their fans have been fabulous. Cole Palmer was incredible in the final. There have been good games, big attendances and in many ways a decent dress rehearsal for the World Cup next summer. There have been so many shirts and fans around cities. FIFA's tactical briefing highlighted more goals, substitutes exerting greater influence and more keepers using the 'X-Block.' It's a new technique, keepers making better blocks in one-on-ones. We cannot pretend it is not without major flaws. The football calendar is a farce. It cannot just be bolted on to the end of the season in four years' time. It is too much for the players. Football needs a discussion on the calendar. Do something radical like scrap the June international break when often the season is extended by three to four weeks for the sake of two games. That is when it can be played. The kick-off times in scorching heat was too much. It's unfair on the players. Use stadiums with roofs or put back the games. To start at midday in 30 degree-plus heat is just plain wrong. Travel was far too much. To play so far and wide in such a big country is unfair on fans and just think about the environment. Play in three cities closer together. What on earth has happened with kick-off times and the final had a half time of 24 minutes. The laws of the game say 15 minutes. It's not hard. Do the razzamatazz - but do it so the football kicks off on time. But the Club World Cup is here to stay. And just because it is change - and your team is not in it - does not mean it's all bad. In four years' time, Qatar, Brazil plus joint bid from Morocco, Spain, and Portugal all want to stage it. It just needs some work. And for people like Trump and Infantino to stop making it about themselves. If it's about taking it to the world and the people, then let the football take centre stage.

Donald Trump snubs Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as he names football GOAT
Donald Trump has overlooked the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo by naming the late, great Pele as his all-time favourite footballer. The US President was in attendance as Chelsea swept aside European champions Paris Saint-Germain to be get their hands on the Club World Cup on Sunday night. Though Cole Palmer was at his scintillating best to inspire the Blues to a comprehensive 3-0 victory, Trump managed to steal the limelight as Enzo Maresca's men were presented with the trophy at the iconic MetLife Stadium. While handing out winners medals alongside FIFA president Gianni Infantino, Trump appeared to take his role a little too far and the 79-year-old received some heavy criticism for refusing to leave the stage during Chelsea's celebrations. Trump's deep love and passion for sport has been well-documented throughout the course of his two tenures in The White House, with the Republican leader a self-confessed golf, NFL, baseball – and WWE! – fanatic. But prior to kick-off in New Jersey, Trump gave an insight into his little-known interest in football, or soccer, as he was asked to reveal his personal selection for the beautiful game's GOAT (greatest of all time). 'Many years ago, when I was young, they brought a player named Pele to play [in the States],' Trump told DAZN. 'He played for a team called the [New York] Cosmos and Steve Ross, a friend of mine, Warner Communications, he was the inspiration behind it. 'This place was packed. It was an earlier version of this stadium right here in the Meadowlands and it was Pele. 'I don't want to date myself, but that was a long time ago. I was a young guy and I came to a watch Pele and he was fantastic so I'd say probably I'll go old-fashioned. 'That's like saying Babe Ruth! But I would say Pele was so great.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Widely regarded to be one of the greatest footballers of all time, Pele racked up 1,279 goals in 1,363 at club and international level and won three World Cup titles with the Brazilian national team. After spending nearly two decades with his boyhood team Santos, Pele brought an end to his playing career with New York Cosmos after spending two years in the States. In 2000, the Brazilian icon was named the World Player of the Century by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics. Pele died aged 82 in December 2022 due to multiple organ failure, with Brazil's president Jair Bolsonaro subsequently declaring three days of national mourning.

'Just landed from my trip to Brazil where I had the privilege to participate in the beautiful homage to Pele that took place at Vila Belmiro, in Santos,' Infantino responded to the backlash on Instagram. 'I am dismayed after having been informed that I am apparently being criticised by some people for having taken a selfie and pictures at the ceremony yesterday. 'I would like to clarify that I was both honoured and humbled that teammates and family members of the great Pele asked me if I could take a few photos with them. And obviously I immediately agreed. 'In the case of the selfie, Pele's teammates asked to do a selfie of all of us together but they didn't know how to do it. So, to be helpful, I took the phone of one of them and took the photo of all of us for him. 'If being helpful to a teammate of Pele creates criticism I'm happy to take it and will continue to be helpful wherever I can to those having contributed to write legendary pages of football. 'I have so much respect and admiration for Pele and for that ceremony yesterday that I would never do anything that would be disrespectful in any way whatsoever. 'I hope that those who published or said things without knowing and without seeking information could have the decency and courage to admit they were wrong and correct what they said. 'The most important in any case is to pay tribute to King Pele, and whilst I humbly suggested that throughout our 211 member associations at least one football stadium or venue is named after him, we will set the example by giving the pitch in our headquarters the name 'Estadio Pele – FIFA Zurich'. Um abraco e viva o Rei!' Is Pele the GOAT?

Donald Trump snubs Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in best player of all time
Before gatecrashing Chelsea's Club World Cup trophy lift, Donald Trump was asked to name his greatest of all time in football - and he opted to go old school with his pick Donald Trump hailed Pele as the greatest footballer of all time amid the stir he made at the Club World Cup final. Chelsea 's 3-0 victory over PSG was somewhat overshadowed by Trump's cameo for the post-match ceremony. After helping FIFA chief Gianni Infantino hand out medals and the tournament's awards, the US president gatecrashed the trophy lift in awkward scenes that left two-goal hero Cole Palmer looking particularly perplexed. Palmer, who also assisted Joao Pedro's third goal before half-time, admitted his confusion after suggesting Trump shouldn't have been there. The billionaire had already become the focus during half-time when he was interviewed live on air by DAZN. One of the questions he was asked was who he thinks the GOAT of football is. Rather than opting for modern-day greats like Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, Trump backed Brazilian icon Pele. He recalled fond memories of watching him in action for the New York Cosmos, where Pele concluded his career after three seasons from 1975 to 1977. Trump said: "Many years ago, when I was young, they brought a player named Pele to play, and he played for a team called the Cosmos. "And Steve Ross, a friend of mine, [former CEO of] Warner Communications, he was the inspiration behind [it] This place (MetLife Stadium) was packed. "It was an earlier version of this stadium, but right here in the Meadowlands, and it was Pele. I don't want to date myself, but that was a long time ago. "I was a young guy, and I came to watch Pele, and he was fantastic. And I would, I'd say, probably I'll go old-fashioned. That's like saying Babe Ruth, but I would say Pele was so great." Pele is widely acknowledged as one of football's greatest ever players. His career goal tally stands at 1,279, including friendlies, as per Guinness World Records. Yet, there's widespread contention over the official count. Ronaldo surpassed what's believed to be Pele's competitive record of 757 goals in 2021, with his current total at 938 for club and country. Messi trails behind his contemporary, with a score sheet of 872. Nevertheless, his triumph in the 2022 World Cup has led many to proclaim him the greatest of all time, while fellow Argentine icon Diego Maradona is also in the discussion.
