Not a fan of the change in format but still excited for top teams to be visiting the country.

I quite like the change in format but as ever, far too many slots for European teams. 12 slots means at least 8 European teams (9 if Real or City win CL next season) won't have actually won anything but qualified anyway.

Can't imagine they let some scrubs like Bayern, Liverpool, PSG and Barcelona in. Should rather be 4 teams from Australia.

Interesting that it's in the summer. I suppose, depending on venues, they may not have wanted to do it in December/February, but it feels weird for it to be outside of the normal European season.
