Will there be any live coverage?

Featuring 2012 UEFA Champions League winners Chelsea, the annual tournament brings together the club champions from all six FIFA confederations. No British broadcaster had picked up the rights to screen the tournament which has been shown on various networks in recent years, including Channel 5, British Eurosport and ESPN. BBC Sport’s chief football commentator Guy Mowbray confirmed on Twitter: “FIFA World Club Cup, live on BBC HD channel next Wed (semi), Thurs (Chelsea semi) & Sun (Final) mornings. Kick offs 10.30 am GMT #cfc” Mowbray also confirmed that he will be commentating on the games for the BBC. The competition began on Thursday, December 6, with Japanese side Sanfrecce Hiroshima beating Auckland City 1-0. Hiroshima will now play Egypt’s Al-Ahly in the quarter-final stages, starting on December 9, where two other sides – Ulsan Hyundai (South Korea) and CF Monterrey (Mexico) – join the competition. Despite the tournament being viewed by some as an inconvenience at a time when Rafael Benitez’s team are struggling for form in the Premier League, the Blues travel to Japan as one of the favourites to win the trophy. They are arrive as semi-finalists and will play just two games. In the semi-finals, Chelsea will play either Ulsan Hyundai and CF Monterrey on December 13. Depending on the outcome of this match, they will play in either the third place play-off or the final itself on Sunday, December 16. Brazilian giants Corinthians, the other major side in the competition and likely to Chelsea’s closest rivals for the trophy, also enter at the semi-final stage, and will play either Al-Ahly or Hiroshima. For the first time in a major FIFA-run competition, the 2012 Club World Cup will also feature the implementation of goal-line technology, allowing referees to determine categorically, if needed, whether the ball crosses the goal-line. The BBC HD channel (available only to viewers with a high-definition television and the appropriate subscription/set-top box) will broadcast three games live, including both semi-finals and the final. Coverage will also be simulcast on the BBC Sport website. .

We went fucking mental when he came on, cheering his every touch haha!

Any penalty save is a brilliant one.

Torres is back! I'm telling you kids, this time for real. Just wait and see.

Delighted he's signed a new deal. This thread goes to prove how under-appreciated he is, and how some people miss the very obvious qualities Mikel brings to the team.

No, it was aimed that that stupid quote from FSW.

Good performance last night. Nice to remember what it feels like to actually win a game. The fact it was such a convincing win will give the boys confidence, but the fact we've suffered an ignominious exit will leave them with a point to prove.

I don't see why people are so sad about Sturridge now, when we've all talking about signing Cavani, Huntelaar, Falcao et al.; a signing that would kill his career here.

Remember the hysteria of the night we signed him, followed by the 4-2 win at Sunderland. Crazy 48 hours. The January 2011 winter window was the worst bit of business we've ever conducted.

Agreed, but now it is a reality we might as well just get on with it.

As much as I'm all for the Torres-bashing (the twat deserves it), he shouldn't be used as the bookmark. If a player is playing poorly, "but not as bad at Torres, so it's fine!", is that acceptable? No, it isn't. No player in our entire squad, Petr Cech excepted, can claim to have played even close to "well" over the last five weeks.

We'll win tonight, and quite comfortably. Absolutely no pressure at all on us, so hopefully the team will be able to go and enjoy themselves. Score three or four (definitely possible regardless of our current state, notwithstanding el Useless), and it'll help the confidence a little bit. All the pressure is on Juventus tonight, who have to get a result at Shakhtar, which is no mean feat. However I entirely expect us to finish third in the group tonight - that being said just remembering what it feels like to win a game will be massive for the team.

He'll help. I guarantee it. That much experience and that much quality has to help a team struggling as badly as we are.

Replacing Petr Cech is going to be harder than replacing even Drogba or Lampard. You might think it's easier just to swap in another goalkeeper, but this man is an absolute God. Look at the amount of times he's saved our hides from conceding, or from conceding eight or nine a game in some matches.

Get back soon, Fatty!

I'm going to nominate myself, because I can.

So, RDM, and not the players? Because the same players that let Robbie down are performing even worse under Hunbelieffable Benitez.

Not fit to wear the badge. Fuck off you useless wanker. Oh yeah, and take FSW with you, too.

Why, because he's Brazilian? I like Oscar, but he's done fuck all for the last half-dozen matches. Actually in fairness, you can say the same of everyone except for Petr Cech.

So, after we go out of Europe on Wednesday night, do you think Rafa will get the sack?

Fuck me, get Hiddink, get anyone, even get JT on the touchline, ANYONE instead of this Scouse CUNT.

We can't possibly lose this one as well could we?

Are you blaming Mikel for today's game out of variety? Last time I checked our £50 million front-man fucked up two of the easiest chances I've ever seen, which cost us the game.
