Not important at all
Unless you live in England, Spain, France, Argentina or Brazil and catch league and cup games regularly this is pretty awesome! Go ahead and sleep on this money grab. True first 11’s are playing and fans though not filling stadiums, yet, have been fun to watch too. I think stadiums will start to fill once we get past the group stage and the Al- teams and Oceania teams are out; and prices become more reasonable.
Yes the next round will have so good games. Remember the Clubs really want to win this. It’s a lot of money. If a MLS club makes the next round it is a game changer.
Group stage: Clubs receive $2 million for a win and $1 million for a tie
Round of 16: Clubs receive an additional $7.5 million
Quarter-final: Clubs receive an additional $13.125 million
Semi-final: Clubs receive an additional $21 million
Finalist: Clubs receive an additional $30 million
Winner: The winning team receives a minimum of $130.4 million and a maximum of $155.8 million, depending on their region.
