Props to MoeRocco for saying what others don't want to say.

Torneio de verão? Que eu conheço, só tem um, que é o torneio vencido pelo Corinthians sobre nossos eternos freguês. :-)

we would rather win something trophie that actually means something Toyota Cup was a waste of time we had to travel halfway around the world to play it for starters

[Skins4SB]

If it was such a waste, you shouldn't have gone at all. Also, last time I checked, England is closer to Toyko than Brasil is. Your point about traveling halfway around the world is moot. There is no shame in losing, you lost to one of the best South American teams ever assembled.

Im a Liverpool supporter and have been since childhood. Liverpool are a legendary club, and were consistently the best side in Europe in that era. However against Flamengo they met their match. Even for Liverpool the Brazilians were a step up in quality. They had Zico for heavens sake! My Liverpool were good but

Flamengo were better.

How many of you have actually SEEN this game?! I just did, it's on YouTube, and there's really no need for all the big words here. It's a boring game for the first half hour, with both teams having only 1 chance, Liverpool missing theirs and Flamengo scoring. Then there's a lucky free kick, 2-0 and that's game over. Nothing spectacular.

A week after this game, Liverpool lost 3-1 at home to Manchester City. It doesn't say all that much.

@boosra quite frankly i think this is just an excuse europeans make because they still think they have better teams just because they are richer and that is just bullshit. no matter how good a non european team is people will say they are not top notch because they arent an european team that is just ignorance.

@invinoveritas32

Not nothing. Sure they wanted to win it, but its a stone fact that most people in Europe never even knew the intercontinental cup existed. It was a non event here and a chore for the players.

Don't take it as an insult, Flamengo were clearly the best team in the world in 1981 and good enough to beat Liverpool in any context.

I was just giving a broad warning about putting too much importance on intercontinental cup results in general. 

[invinoveritas32]

@boosra Yes, Liverpool cared nothing for the Intercontinental. Thats why Liverpool chairman in 1981, John Smith, said: “Make no mistake, we’ll be back and next time we’ll show what we can really do.” Because they cared nothing.

And nobody is gloating here. Just stating reality.

[kallashah]

I hate people who say Toyota cup was nothing.It was an special trophy,They gave the Toyota cup and the Intercontinental cup ,which was established in 1960.the most important thing.The Toyota cup was an international title recognised by Fifa.

So dont tell me it was an waste.Once on the pitch both teams wanted to win.You dont travel to Tokyo ,and then pretend you dont care.Its a shame they dont play it anymore.since 2005 every final has been european south american at fifa club world cup.

@supersonic...

what am i smoking? obviously nothing as potent as what you are, coz you seem off your face! when you come back down to earth you will find lfc are, with five euro cups and three uefas are easily the third most succesful club in european history, and thats saying nothing of their domestic succes. any chance of your dealers number?

[SuperSonicx1986]

@MoeRocco75 What the fuck is that shit you call liverpool? Sounds like a brand of pig. Legendary? Boca Juniors, Estudiantes, Flamengo, Santos, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Peñarol are legendary.

What the fuck are you smoking?
