European clubs in the US in summer '04?

[johnnyphiladelphia]

Has anyone heard anything about another tour of the US this coming summer by the big Euro clubs as Man U et al did last summer? I saw on ESPN.com that Man U was looking into playing Celtic in the Boston area.

Manchester United is almost certain to come back.

I heard talk of Arsenal and possibly Real Madrid comming.

I was disappointed with Juventus because not all of their players took the games seriously.

Manchester was a pleasure to watch because they wanted to win them all.

Not exactly "big", but the Scottish national team are planning a tour of the US and Canada in the summer...

Real Madrid announced plans to tour America next year.

As of now, Manchester United and Celtic are set to come to the US. I had read somewhere that Madrid are interested also.

You can see the official news at the Champions World site, who are the people who organize these tours.

I heard a few days ago that Real Madrid will not tour the USA next summer and instead will tour Asia.

Real Madrid are (I think) confirmed to be coming to Korea in the summer of 2004. Whether or not they'd combine an Asian tour and an American tour too, I don't know...
