i dun think pool can win.
1stly, due to long travel to asia;
2ndly, they will take lightly of their opponents;
3rdly, most of the opponents are unknown and that is the dangerous
part;
lastly, south america teams are quite strong teams.
last time man u also cmi in world club cup. take this cup
seriously, pool will suffered injuries and it can be quite a waste
of effort since this cup is just a 'friendly' tournament.
anyway, i hope liverpool all the best.
