😎 He had a plan

Fluminense played with the rules "under their arm" and held the 0-0 draw with Mamelodi to seal their spot in the round of 16.

According to some "experts", coach Renato Gaúcho wanted to finish second in Group F to "avoid" a more complicated bracket.

🥰 Universal party

One of the great characteristics of the World Cup is the cultural exchange between different peoples.

And that's been happening at this Club World Cup.

After the 0-0 draw between Fluminense and Mamelodi, which guaranteed the Brazilian team a spot in the round of 16 and eliminated the South African team, fans of both teams came together - in peace - to celebrate!

🤷 THIS IS BRAZIL

With Fluminense's qualification, all four Brazilian clubs secured their spot in the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup.

And even the famous phrase from Vin Diesel, playing Dominic Toretto, face to face with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, playing Luke Hobbs, in the "Fast & Furious 5: Rio" franchise, was recreated to define the union of Brazilians at the World Cup.

😅 Teach, Ferj

It's a consensus that the FIFA Club World Cup was a great success.

But the rules confused - and a lot - the fans. Starting with the first tiebreaker criterion, which, unlike 99% of cases, is the direct confrontation and not the goal difference or number of wins.

And that generated a HUGE confusion, especially during the interval of the games between River Plate 0 x 0 Inter de Milão and Urawa Reds 0 x 3 Monterrey, since, with the current results, Argentines, Italians, and Mexicans were in a "triple tie" with five points.

And then, friend, people were grabbing the rulebook to know the order of the tiebreakers and even calculators to understand who was advancing and who was being eliminated.

But the beloved Federação de Futebol do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Ferj) had already taught how to make a championship with a simple rule...

But the truth is that Inter de Milão beat River Plate and all these calculations were discarded, since the Italians took the lead with seven points, and Monterrey advanced in second with five points.
