How do you win this "cup"?
This year’s format will consist of two groups of four in a round-robin format. Each team will play a total of three matches in group play and the two group leaders will face off on August 4 in the final at Sun Life Stadium in Miami.
so there would be an extra friendly, sort of, two days after the Milan game - if we finish top of our group, which would involve beating City and probably Milan too.
I heard it's 2 points for winning in pens, which happens if the scores are level after 90 minutes. 1 point to the losers of the shootout.
it's kind of cool, this tourney, and if it hits Australia over the coming years I'll definitely still be thinking that. it's also good to play 'senior friendlies' before the Champions League, especially considering we don't have qualifiers (and that should be the aim, to never be in those qualifiers, really. My old man and I were saying during the game that it's good for Olympiakos especially because they absolutely never have to go through the qualifying rounds, finishing on top every season.
