Most of us stopped caring the day it was announced.

At least we get games this Tue/Wed (local) and then on Friday again. It brackets the US Thanksgiving holiday which will bring in eyes, I think, some at least. Looks like a good group of games tomorrow and we'll know the other opponents for remaining teams soon.
Cheers

I forgot they call it EMIRATES cup. I'm dead. Silver would sold his left nut to get 1% of soccer popularity.

What's next? Audi cup in Munich?

Emirates Cup sounds like a golf tournament.

What if the games weren't also regular season games? If it was a separate tournament, wouldn't it be more popular? Aren't the European tournaments that inspired it not regular season games? How do they expect us to process that regular season games are also tournament games?

The teams that make it to to the championship game play 83 games?
