Not a recognised trophy by UEFA
Cos isn't not a real trophy. Hence why we have more trophies than Utd. If it were a real trophy, they'd be ahead by two, I think.
It's considered a friendly match
Not if your name is Kevin Keegan
[article]Liverpool have been granted permission by the Premier League to wear the Fifa golden badge of Club World Cup winners for one game over the holiday period.
The domestic governing body has accepted an application by the Merseysiders enabling them to celebrate their Club World Cup success with supporters; the home fixture with Wolves on December 29 being the designated date.
That is still dependant on Liverpool receiving the specially-designed kit in time given the speedy turnaround since their victory over Flamengo in Qatar on Saturday.
The Fifa badge is described as a ‘prestigious symbol’ of the achievement of becoming world champions.
Following their win in the Gulf state, Liverpool immediately released a statement explaining that while they would be allowed to wear the gold badge in Champions League matches – it is 78 millimetres by 57 millimetres in size and prominent in the centre of the jersey – a formal application is required to alter the appearance of a shirt worn in the Premier League.
Liverpool have sought that registration and received a positive response for a solitary fixture. Now it is a race against time to have the jerseys prepared for the final Anfield game of 2019. Heading into the festive schedule, Liverpool had not received the badge from Fifa. The governing body want to host a formal presentation ceremony.
Fifa introduced a series of gold badges to winners of their elite competitions in 2006, when Italy won the World Cup.
It was introduced in the Club World Championships in 2007. Liverpool are the first English side since Manchester United to earn the right to wear it.
The distinction has been enthusiastically welcomed by Liverpool’s players, who want to embrace this emblem of their achievement during their 12 months as world champions.
A Fifa spokesperson explained: "As per the usage guidelines, the winning team can wear the Fifa World Champions Badge from the day it becomes champions up to and including the final of the next edition of the tournament."
The badge would be some way of Liverpool acknowledging their latest trophy success in front of The Kop given there is no possibility of a bigger celebration with fans in the midst of such a hectic schedule - and with the Premier League title bid such a priority.
Liverpool are trying to strike the right balance between giving their fans a glimpse of their latest silverware, while keeping eyes on the real prize - ending the 30-year wait for a domestic title.
Whatever happens between now and May, Liverpool’s traditional lap of honour after their final home game at the end of the 2019/20 season is already guaranteed to boast two trophies, with players showing off the Super Cup and Club World Cup. They have no intention of letting their trophy collection end there, however.[/article]
Not sure I like this. Smells of a cheap shot of short term commercial interference. I like it as normal as possible. Focus only on the tough task to break down a solid Wolves team.
I love it.
Yup. Not a fan at all. It's like an inter-continental motivational poster for the Wolves dressing room, especially after they've just played Man City.
I am not in the shirtselling or buying business. Focus on the field. Fuck the rest.
Shows where we all know the club World Cup lines up in importance
Not sure what you aim at here. Most important is that it lines up at the Wall and that is important. It is not something you play for every year and you need to add to the CL count to add to that one. It has for long time not been regarded as nothing more than a mix up of fixtures but it looks like it will be developed over the coming years. Happy to have it there.
My question is are they going to update the league title image with the premiership trophy if we win it like they have with the CL trophy or leave the old one or create a new one( I really hope they don’t do that, and I hope they don’t do a slash like they gave the European cup / CL)
Yep. Similar to how much is made of Real's CL titles without regard to the how or why.
TBH I think Dee was just being a little flippant 😉
[article]Paul Scholes says he doesn’t even count the World Club Championship trophy in his haul of medals and values his badminton trophy more.
Manchester United became the first ever British club to win the Club World Cup in 2008 when they beat LDU Quito in Yokohama, but Scholes says it was hardly memorable.
And after Liverpool repeated the feat last week after beating Flamengo in Dubai the former England man was asked his views on the tournament.
As expected, Scholes has been nonplussed by the success of Jurgen Klopp’s team in Dubai.
Asked on BBC Radio 5 Live how much United’s triumph meant to him as a player, he said: “Well you want to win it once you’re there but I don’t think it was ever something that we were desperate to win.
“Even now if someone said to you ‘What trophies did you win over the years?’ I don’t think we’d mention the World Club Championship.
“I really don’t. I’m not joking, I’m serious!
“But you know what, it’s like anything else, it might take more importance over the years.
“It looks like Liverpool have enjoyed it, they’ve celebrated it and probably will mention it and why not – but just when we were playing it wasn’t that serious I don’t think.
“But now you look back I suppose you’re quite happy but it’s not something you set out to do as a player I don’t think.”
Robbie Savage then asked Scholes a loaded question, what meant more to him – lifting the Club World Cup or winning a trophy at his local badminton club – and the 45-year-old was more than happy to answer: “My badminton trophy!”[/article]
