We should have sent the reserves really, Sau Paulo or whoever the South American Amigo's are, are not gonna even compete with us.

We will breeze this.

Hi every one....I'm from San Jose, Costa Rica....a small,beautiful tropical country with warm weather and green rainforests troughout the year.....and only 4 million inhabitants in 52 000 square KM

As you see on my avatar and my signature(i hope).....I'm a big fan of the best team in Costa Rica and CONCACAF....Deportivo Saprissa.....23 league titles , 3 CONCACAF titles...and plus...in 70 years of history

Opposite of the way you think we have great expectations about this tournament...its a great window for our still developing football....and actually Im a bit desappointed you don't take it very seriously...but it's ok everyone is entitled to have an opinion....

We are actually very excited with the upcoming game against Liverpool...not everyday we have the oppotunity......we also have high hopes.....and honestly i think we have a chance of winning specially if the players think the way you do...Liverpool(1) vs Saprissa(2)

Hope to exchange opinions and comments....best regards to everyone

DALE ETERNO CAMPEON!!!
QUIERO OTRA ALEGRIA!!!

Here are some images of our humble stadium....fans "La Ultra Morada"...and images of Deportivo Saprissa

QUIERO VERTE CAMPEON

Hi American guy! I'm from Brazil and supporter of São Paulo (also in World Club Championship). It's also for us a great honnor to join in this championship which we have already been champions twice, in 1992 and 1993.

You'll find messages of disdain about this championship, but it's understanding since the British guys don't really know football around the world. So, that's natural and most part of them will soon get involved in this championship. Just out of curiosity, South Americans have won the Intercontinental Cup 13 times while Europeans have won 12 times...so this superiority of European sides does not really exist.

And also, this competition is the unique that can "save the season" for Liverpool. So, the aim of Liverpool's players must be win it.

Good luck and congrats for the victory today! 

PS: Great idea to put photos of the fans. I'll select some and post here too.

if you believe that you are either incredibley stupid or are in denial. If european clubs had taken this half as seriously as the south american clubs then the history of the competition in terms of its winners, would be much different. Also, the fact that in recent times south american clubs have sold all their best players to european teams will make a diffence this time round imo, i think that when you previously won the competiton you kept a lot of the stars within your own clubs rather then sold them on which seems to happen all the time now.

Its seen by most european clubs as a waste of time as it just gets in the way of more serious matters. In fact, i feel the only reason the competition even exists is so FIFA can exploit the european clubs to gain financial revenue, why do you think its in Japan for gods sake!

An example of how unseriously european clubs take this competition came last year when the G-14 (a grouping of the most powerful soccer clubs in europe) voted against the proposal of staging this very competition, basically claiming that it was a waste of time and unimportant. So the competion is basically seen as a joke by many european clubs. Take my word for it, whenever i have heard people talk of this competion recently in the british press or on television etc it has been in the context that its a complete waste of time. For example "liverpool now have to deal with the incovinience of going to tokyo for the Fifa world club championship and its come at a bad time with them now performing well in the league. They will hope the distraction of this competition won't disrupt the more important matter of the premiership".

Dont get me wrong i hope we play well and win the competion but if i had a choice of us performing well in the league over christams when we arrive back from Japan having lost the tournament or winning the tournamnet but then performing badly in the league over christams i'll give you one guess which one i'd chhose. This is something that i dont think we have in common with any of the other participating clubs.

I think it´s difficult for a british or for a european recognize the superiority of the south american football.

We are just 10 countries and we have 9 world cups while Europe is composed by 52 countries and have 8.

About Intercontinental Cup in 44 editions we got 23 titles while the europeans... 21.

In all statistics we are better. We have the two greatest players in history, Pele and Maradona...

...this disdain it´s just fear to me.
