where they asleep all weekend?

Question

going through my normal sojourn of the monday morning papers i was amazed to see no-one bothered writing a full report on manu's "victorious win" in the micky mouse tournament called the world club championship.

mindyou can't help but think if manu had to beat the likes of barcalona/real/chelsea/liverpool/lyon etc to lift the trophy it might have generated a bit more interest.

The competition is in Japan and to be honest the only top team in it was Man United. It just gives the less known teams to show their capability against top sides. Obviously these teams would get beaten if they played other teams in Europe, but our continent can only represent 1 team. And this is the same with the other continents.

It did not get back page news because (even though it is the World Cup for club football teams!) fans in England would want to see news about the Premier League, which is what they follow week in week out. The Club World Cup is really only thought of as 'back page' to United fans, but most of the population are not United fans (put all the other 19 league teams together and you have more fans than United fans).
