    So has Man U. so another repeater is not out of the question. I guess in the last few years playing man u has clouded that popularity matters. We have played smaller clubs (Fulham) and i'd say Roma is bigger then them. Also it's not like (most likely) we have to fill a 70,000 seat stadium so the popularity of the club is not as much of an issue.

    A touring City depending on the game date and what rest Euro players take would be missing

    Lescott (mb), Balotelli, Hart, Milner, Barry, Richards(mb), Nasri, De Jong, Johnson (mb), Clichy, and Silva. But if they hold on to win the League this season playing the PL champions two years in a row isn't a bad thing for MLS.

    We also need to remember that the European Championship is this summer................so most of the big names most likely won't be playing on a pre-season tour for their club team.

    I'd like to see any of the following:
    Chelsea
    AC Milan
    (AC Milan - Chelsea is rumored to be played at FedEx Field this summer)
    Tottenham
    Liverpool
    Inter Milan
    Juventus

    Here's a couple of unlikely opponents, but they'd be good ones:

    Bayern Munich
    Santos <-- Neymar puts buts in seats, and also has a global appeal as a player
    Napoli
    Paris Saint Germain

    This would be a great time, beacuse of Euro 2012, to face a South American opponent. Santos is one. River, Boca, Flemengo, Fluminense - they'd all be good options.

    I think if River or Boca played, I would 100% be there. Anyone else is really a 33/33/33 of not buying a ticket, buying one and flipping it, or buying one and actually going

    Until reading this, I figured I would buy tickets and flip them for a small profit. But if it is Milan (my favorite team until the Union came along) on July 26 (my birthday), I think I'm obligated to go. Thanks for getting my hopes up :)

    All Star Game in Philly ALREADY?

    What are they going to do, cover the blight with Kentucky bluegrass and Miracle-Gro then pray for rain?

    Are they going to tell the dignitaries to look straight ahead and have their chauffers floor it down 2nd Street, or will the Chester Police Department leave the rest of the city high and dry for a day of festivities?

    And does anyone remember something about a revitalization phase that some $7 million was supposed to go toward?

    If this is indeed true, what are the chances the STH get any type of preference for buying seats in terms of when they would go on sale?

    2nd floor, mayor's conference hall, or whatever. walk into city hall and ask where it's being held.

    Directly from the Union Website for the MLS All Star Game on July 25th.

    'Philadelphia Union full season ticket holders will have priority access to tickets for the 2012 AT&T MLS All-Star Game before they go on sale to the general public.'

    Now we just need to know the price. Depending on the competition the price could be high as we are a smaller stadium.

    Powerful organization, that MLS.

    They maxed out at around 400 viewers, and kept losing the stream. :eek:
