The entire football galaxy of Great Britain are pinning its hope on Manchester United to finally win a first-ever FIFA World Club championship for England.
Teams from South America had dominated the tournament since its inception in 2000. Last year, Italian powerhouse AC Milan finally put a halt to the latinos domination as they whipped Boca Juniors of Argentina in the finals.
This year, seven clubs representing their respective continents will battle it out for supremacy from December 11-21, 2008, in Japan. Aside from the Red Devils, the other contenders are Al Ahly (Africa), Adelaide United (Asia), Gamba Osaka (Asia), Pachuca (North and Central America), Waitakere United (Oceania) and Liga De Quito (South America).
Actually, the tourney had already started yesterday with Adelaide United drawing first blood with an opening-day win over Waitakere United, 2-1. Manchester United and Liga De Quito are already seeded in the semis leaving the five other squads to battle it out in the knockout quarter-final matches. The championship match will be played on December 21.
Expect no less than a battle royale among the continental champions and the bragging rights for the best football club in the World.
