If a draw is meant to set the tone and standard for a tournament, then expect next summer's FIFA Club World Cup to be chaos from start to finish.

The FIFA draw in Miami left anyone unfortunate enough to be watching dreaming of the much-maligned UEFA draws which drag on incessantly. The final team was drawn around 100 minutes after the scheduled start time for the Club World Cup draw, with nobody quite sure what happened in between.

If the Manchester City squad were gathered in the CFA theatre room to watch, you couldn't have blamed anyone for walking out long before all the teams were drawn. It started in shambolic fashion as FIFA president Gianni Infantino provided his own 'drum roll' sound effects to unveil the hideous trophy, and went downhill from there.

We expect formalities to be drawn out at these things, but what we don't expect are gushing gestures to Donald Trump and his family. Getting the president-elect onside for the first of two major FIFA tournaments in the USA during the next presidency is part of Infantino's job.

By the time the draw actually started, Infantino had introduced a rambling message from Trump, encouraged two rounds of applause for his daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner (who persuaded him over dinner to approach Tiffany's to make the trophy) and even invited their son on stage to draw the first team.

His favourite team is 'Paris', he said, before the clumsy choreography of getting a child to pick a ball from a bowl and hand it to his mother to read out... all in front of Gloria Estefan.

Trump spoke highly of 'Jonny' Infantino - 'he's the president, I'm the president' - and if this display of loyalty was anything to go by, the next president of the United States will play a public-facing role in next summer's tournament.

There will be celebrities, too. And lots of ill-timed dancing.

The draw was spread across two locations, for some reason, adding to the delays in creating the groups. Arsene Wenger looked uncomfortable as he was encouraged to dance at one point, resembling Theresa May more than the Latin dance he was asked to join in on.

When City were drawn out, he backed them to 'always come back in the second half of the season,' and he looked far happier talking football when asked.

But in a draw all about football, it felt like football was the sideshow. This was FIFA's attempt to show the USA to the world from their Miami base. The Club World Cup has seen plenty of negative headlines in its short lifespan and the clunky, often inappropriate banter between the endless parade of presenters didn't instil much confidence that this will be a well-organised tournament.

Maybe that will change when the football starts. City were handed a relatively easy draw, and will take on Juventus in a final group game that will likely determine if they top their group or not - with Wydad and Al Ain to warm up for that meeting.

City will go to the USA to win, though. They will not care for the outside noise and won't bat an eyelid if any Trumps attend their games or not.

Unlike recent visits to the USA, however, where every move is carefully planned and in their own control, they may have to embrace the chaos next summer. There was plenty on show on Thursday.
