Welly good

Plenty of round ball around the world. Team Wellington fly the Kiwi flag at Fifa's Club World Cup but face a massive challenge if they are to match the bronze medals won last week by the under-17 women at their World Cup or Auckland City at this tournament in Morocco in 2014. The Wellingtonians, spear-headed by striker Mario Barcia, rewarded for their solid domestic season and later their triumph in the OFC play-offs, follow City and Waitakere United onto this stage and face local UAE side Al-Ain for a place in the tournament proper. European clubs have dominated winning 10 of the 14 tournaments. Suggestions there could be a massive switch however with Fifa considering a 24-team, four-yearly competition in 2021 replacing the Confederations Cup. Oceania chances would be diminished with their champion to play the fifth-placed South American club to book a ticket to the big show. Champions League final round-robin group matches. Four groups sorted and another couple all but. Most interest in group C where Napoli lead with nine points from PSG (8) and Liverpool (6). Liverpool host Napoli while PSG are away to Red Star Belgrade. In group B Barcelona are through but host Spurs who are equal on points and goal difference with Inter who host bottomplaced PSV. The Phoenix at Sydney FC tonight and, no doubt, hoping for something to go their way.
