FIFA Club World Cup

The FIFA Club World Cup is expanding to a true World Cup format, featuring the top clubs from each continent over a four-year cycle. Hosted in the USA, this tournament is set to draw unprecedented global attention to the sport. These are my predictions for how the action might unfold from the group stage through the knockout rounds. Please note, these picks reflect my personal perspective as an enthusiastic fan—don’t treat them as betting advice. Enjoy the games.
