Because Auckland City are Champions of Oceania. Auckland FC play in the Australian League which competes in the Asian Champions League (which Auckland FC have never played in because they’re a year old)
It's confusing, but Auckland City isn't Tommy Smith's team. It's Auckland FC which play in the Oz league, and are only a year old. The team at the WCC are Auckland City who play in the New Zealand league and have won the Oceania Champions League a number of times, but are amateur. It's going to be a whitewash
Tbilisi is a nice small very civilised city. The old town is fun but it can be a bit of a tourist trap with typical trashy Arab shisha bars etc. I would still check it out (everywhere is walkable) but not stay there, better areas to stay are either side of the river by Rustaveli and Marjanishvili metros - where there are still nice bars and restaurants. If you like jazz then 1984 jazz bar is great. Food in the city is good but mainly limited to khachapuri (bread and melted cheese) or khinkali (dumplings) - you’ll find loads of options, from cheap to high end. Chacha is the very strong local spirit and if you befriend locals and they invite you to a supra, go for it! Though you may not come out alive as it’s a kind of drinking ceremony with lots of shots and speeches. There’s a nice park / botanical garden but other than eating and drinking there’s not lots of stuff to do there. Tbilisi is less than 2 hours from the Kakheti wine region - you can hire a car for $20 a day (full insurance) and visit there if you have time. A very beautiful area.
And a few other interesting abandoned places. For me, Georgia is more about the countryside than the cities so if you can get yourself out of town for a day or two it should be worth it
Hmm only problem is by going to Chelsea instead of the likes of Forest or Newcastle, he's unlikely to be sold to a "bigger club" if he's performing well. Let's hope there's clauses for goals / England caps
