Daniel Tiluk and Carl Anka discuss Manchester City losing to Al-Hilal at the Club World Cup. Does this prove the competition is something worth playing attention to?

While the DAZN app has been reliable, the sportswashing element of this tournament (which funds both the broadcasting and prize winnings) is worth defining and exploring.
