The World Club Championship began yesterday in Tokyo (I think; maybe it was Yokohama). Unfortunately, I didn't get home from work until rather late last night so I wasn't able to watch the match, even though I had recorded it. Maybe I'll watch it tonight! Many people are looking forward to seeing Manchester United, especially Christiano Ronaldo, but to be honest I'm not expecting much. I'm not sure if Ronaldo will be coming, actually, as I heard he had some kind of injury recently. In any case, I think the players will be rather tired after their matches in the Premiership and Champions League. This year, Manchester United aren't doing so well in the Premier League, so probably they want to save their best players for that. And traditionally, English teams don't give much priority to the World Club Championship (formerly the Toyota Cup).
I haven't checked the match schedule recently, but I think there's a match every other day, at least at the begining of the tournament, so I'm looing forward to Saturday. That's also the day, I believe, when Jubilo Iwata will play to decide whether they will be relegated to J2 next year, or remain in J1.
