"I'm truly sorry if I offended anyone. As a general assignment video reporter, I was seeking facts at a press conference.
I get that I named the wrong trophy and greatly appreciate Schweinsteiger attempting to clean up the question for me. It was a classy move.
My question missed its mark, but it has allowed me to become better educated on the ins and outs of soccer.
I may have been one of the only general assignment guys in the room - but I believe, like a lot of Chicago, that Bastian Schweinsteiger's arrival presents an amazing opportunity for those of us who want to experience soccer to more fully embrace the sport.
I report on everything ranging from presidential politics to science - and I'm the first to admit that I don't know everything, but I do ask."

I don't get what the fuss is. There is a World Cup for clubs, it's called the FIFA Club World Cup and, technically, teams from 6 different continents can qualify for and win it. The general question was good, he just missed one word in the sentence and everybody kicked up a fuss. Yes, there is a world cup for clubs.Dumbledore7 wrote:My partially deaf grandma knows clubs don't participate in a World Cup
Guess your partially deaf grandma missed this match? Maybe it was past her bedtime

You're wrong. For non-European teams it's the greatest trophy a club can win. You live in Morocco, and I'm pretty sure that if Raja Club Athletic had beaten Bayern in the 2013 final it would be considered the greatest achievement by a Moroccan club ever.

Well, this is mainly because you compete against the reigning UCL winners, but knowing that Europeans don't take it seriously, the CWC loses all of its importance.
