The tournament delivered spectacle and a clear warning: hosting the world's biggest sporting event next summer will take more than world-class stadiums.

About 900 volunteers in New Jersey and New York are helping to put on the Club World Cup, part of a nationwide corps of nearly 9,000. FIFA volunteer management coordinator Vanessa Elver said about 68,000 people applied to be part of the tournament's unpaid staff.

Chelsea FC can secure another trophy Sunday, and they made sure to poke fun at the only club to beat them on their road to the Club World Cup final. Back in the group stage of the competition, Brazilian side Flamengo stunningly defeated Chelsea 3-1.
