Chelsea FC's Stamford Bridge
If you can’t afford to fly to Europe to take in some European soccer, don’t worry. It’s coming to you!
Not sure what to make of yesterday’s announcement of the World Football Challenge, a six-city round robin soccer tournament that will take place across the United States from July 19-26. The tournament will take four of the world’s top futbol clubs — AC Milan, Chelsea FC, Inter, and Club America — and will have them disperse to differing cities across the country, playing in this tournament until one is decided the winner.
Is this strategy, assuredly created by American soccer bigwigs and their money-grubbing European cohorts, the one that is supposed to pull the world’s game closer to our heart?
I hope!
As long as they don’t play on football fields, with football lines, this may turn out alright, especially in Baltimore.
Baltimore’s M&T Stadium will host Chelsea FC and AC Milan on July 24. Tickets went on sale yesterday at www.worldfootballchallenge.com.
This is your chance to see David Beckham in action. Chelsea’s Joe Cole and John Terry. Milan’s Ronaldihno and Pato. Chelsea’s Mustang, Ricardo Quaresma. The man they call Alex.
But honestly, how cool is this, especially considering it’s so close to home? Thoughts?
