Five things to look out for as Club World Cup kicks off
Despite concerns over ticket sales and player fatigue, FIFA's new expanded Club World Cup will throw up several intriguing storylines this summer in the United States. AFP Sport picks five things to look out for on the pitch as teams compete to conquer the world and claim their share of $1 billion in prize money. Advertisement Messi back in the spotlight Former Barcelona great Lionel Messi has spent the last two seasons at MLS side Inter Miami but the Club World Cup pits him against European opposition once again. The 37-year-old superstar still possesses supreme quality but there are question marks over whether he and former top level stars Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets can seriously compete against the cream of the crop. Inter Miami face Porto in their second group match in Atlanta, a team Messi has faced once before, beating them with Barca in the UEFA Super Cup back in 2011. Messi also featured against Porto in a friendly with Barca back in 2003, which was his first ever appearance for the club at 16 years old. Advertisement If he nets at the tournament, Messi would become the oldest ever Club World Cup goalscorer, while both he and Suarez trail the competition's all-time top scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo, by two goals. A new stage for Doue Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League final romp over Inter Milan was inspired by thrilling forward Desire Doue, who turned 20 earlier in June. His spectacular burst into the limelight over the past few months means he is one of the players to watch this summer at the Club World Cup. He struck twice in the final against Inter as well as setting up another goal and drew comparisons to Spanish starlet Lamine Yamal, who will not be playing this summer as Barcelona did not qualify. Advertisement PSG's opening clash against Atletico Madrid at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles immediately gives Doue another stage to shine on as the world at large continues to discover his immense talent. Revamped City Pep Guardiola's Manchester City endured a poor season by their lofty standards and immediately took action in the special transfer window to bolster their squad for the Club World Cup. The Abu Dhabi-owned club have already splashed more than £100 million ($136 million) on Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Rayan Cherki. With holding midfielder Rodri also returning to fitness after injury, City are hoping they can step up their game significantly. Advertisement French 21-year-old attacking midfielder Cherki is an exciting talent looking to show his quality at the top level. "I really believe he can become a world-class player with our support and direction," said City's director of football Hugo Viana. South American threat While Europe's elite are at the end of a long, hard season, South American clubs are midway through their campaigns and will be energised. They have long revered the competition to a far greater degree than European sides, as it represents the chance to face the very best teams in the world. Fans who do not regularly follow South American football can look forward to discovering some of the most exciting emerging talents in the world. Advertisement River Plate's Argentine playmaker Franco Mastantuono will join Real Madrid after the tournament, while Chelsea-bound striker Estevao Willian is hoping to end his time at Brazilian side Palmeiras with a bang. Atletico hunger Atletico Madrid ended the season trophyless despite looking like potential contenders in Spain and Europe. Diego Simeone's side are proud of having reached the tournament ahead of La Liga rivals Barcelona and the coach has not hidden his desire to succeed this summer. "I hope we can advance in the Club World Cup and lead Atletico Madrid to a privileged position," said Simeone. Advertisement Atletico have not won a single trophy since lifting La Liga in 2021 and their last success outside of Spanish football came in 2018 with Europa League and UEFA Super Cup wins. Their elimination by Real Madrid in the Champions League after Julian Alvarez's controversial 'double-touch' penalty was disallowed sent them into a spiral, which they only managed to shake off in the final weeks of the season, after their chances of success had vanished. rbs/mw

Mauricio Pochettino Sets Bar for USA in 2026: 'Win The World Cup'
The 2026 World Cup is less than one year away and, as one of the co-hosts, the United States men's national team will face some big expectations. So, what would success look like for USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino at next year's 48-team tournament held across Canada, Mexico, and the U.S., making it the largest edition in history? He believes this team can win it all. "I'm not selling nothing that cannot be possible," Pochettino told FOX Sports' Tom Rinaldi. "Anything is possible in football, in soccer." Pochettino has previously coached at notable European clubs like Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea. He's led top international players like Harry Kane, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappe. It was therefore a seismic move when U.S. Soccer hired him in 2023 to lead the men's team following a disappointing showing at the Copa América, also hosted in the United States. "I see this as an exciting challenge," Pochettino explained to Rinaldi about why he took this job. "It's an important opportunity to build together a legacy and make history." But it hasn't been easy for Pochettino since his arrival. Two losses in March to Panama and Canada. Two more last week ahead of the Gold Cup, which kicks off Saturday and will be the last competitive tournament before next year's big event. The Argentinian manager is trying to instill a culture into a squad that has often fallen short of expectations against top teams from around the world. "The problem here in the USA is that soccer is seen as a nice game to play," Pochettino said. "But in different countries, it's a game to compete, it's a fight … it's a sport war." Pochettino spoke with Rinaldi ahead of the USMNT's two most recent friendlies -- losses to Turkey and Switzerland. Pochettino's roster that heads into the Gold Cup is missing star players such as Christian Pulisic, who opted to miss the tournament following a long season at AC Milan. "We need to understand that soccer is a collective team, the USMNT is bigger than any name," Pochettino explained. Pulisic said earlier this week that he offered to play the two friendlies but was denied by the coaching staff. For Pochettino, he's keeping his focus on the roster he has this summer as the countdown to the World Cup truly gets underway. "I'm excited, I cannot wait," he said. "I hope tomorrow it would start." It will come soon enough, and the eyes of the U.S. – and the world – will be on him. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
