because that year It was a 2 groups format

It wall always be UEFA Champions League winner who wins the FIFA Club World Cup unless a change of th format is made i think a two group format where the winner and the runner up qualify for SF would be better for next editions, allowing all teams to play at least 3 games each (16 games in total) not like in this tournament and the previous ones (7 teams and 8 games ) : Al Aïn (Finalist and Host) played 4, Kashima Antlers (4th) played 3, Real Madrid (The champion), River Plate (3rd), Espérance Tunis (5th) and Chivas Guadalajara (6t) all played 2 games only Team Wellington (7th) played only the opening game

welcome to all new users

I have spent quite a time looking at the sports calendar in 2019 and i guess there are some events we can't miss of course my list would be considered long for some ppl but i tried to shorten it as much as possible so here are my suggestions : June, July and September being the busiest monthes, the other monthes are easily manageable Most important events are in bold In all there would be 10 team sports (20 events) vs 12 individual sports (23 events) / 14 men's events (6 continental and 8 WCH) vs 6 women's WCH and 23 mixed (for both) events / 6 winter sports among 24 or 25 (25 % )

Congrats to all medalists especially LDOG Hockey champion ady48 handball champion and double medallist Henryleon and Dunadan for Silver and chrischi08 for bronze.
