How to Watch the Club World Cup Today: All Games on TV/Live Stream (June 19) | OneFootball

The first round of fixtures is in the books at the revamped Club World Cup, and the jury remains out on Gianni Infantino’s brainchild.

The on-pitch quality cannot be denied, and the South Americans have sparkled early, but empty seats continue to make headlines amid a supposed lack of widespread domestic interest.

Still, the tournament will continue to plough on and there’s scope for this summer’s event to be a slow burner. Speaking of, there were no goals in Group A on Matchday 1, so the only way is up at the start of the second round of fixtures.

Oh, and Paris Saint-Germain are in action again, so you’d be wise to tune in. Here’s how you can watch all of today’s action unfold.

We may have endured a goalless start to Group A, but both Matchday 1 fixtures didn’t disappoint on the entertainment front.

Many would’ve expected Lionel Messi to steal the show in the tournament opener, but instead, another Inter Miami Argentine, Oscar Ustari, came up clutch for Javier Mascherano’s side in their stalemate with Al Ahly.

They now face an uphill battle to qualify for the knockout stages, with Porto up next for the Herons. The Portuguese team, however, were reliant on a superb Cláudio Ramos performance between the sticks to hold Palmeiras to a draw last time out.

The Brazilians kick-off the day’s action against Al Ahly at MetLife Stadium.

We then venture across the country for the second round of Group B fixtures, with Atlético Madrid in desperate need of three points off the back of their 4–0 defeat to the European champions. The Seattle Sounders will once again benefit from playing at Lumen Field, but they were unable to take advantage of FIFA’s kind scheduling on Matchday 1 as they were beaten 2–1 by Botafogo despite a late rally.

The Copa Libertadores holders entered the tournament with relatively tame expectations, and their opening fixture was one many suspected they’d win. The ultimate test beckons for Botafogo, who face PSG in Pasadena. Luis Enrique’s side will book their place in the last 16 with a victory.
