On Sunday in Tokyo Manchester United won FIFA’s Club World Championship! They beat Copa Libertadores winners LDU Quito from Ecuador. With the one and only goal coming from none other than Wayne Rooney in the 73rd minute. Manchester United won the match with only ten men, after Vidic was red-carded for throwing an elbow. Vidic may serve up to a three match suspension for the “violent” act, which is to be served during the champions league.

The tournament is heavily criticized in Europe, but why? Its an honest attempt at placing the best teams from every region in a single tournament to determine the best club in the world. Europeans don’t care for the tournament because more often then not, it’s the South Americans who come out on top.

How else would you determine who is the best in the world?
