MLS newcomer Union to host Valencia in friendly http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/soccer/03/17/union.scrimmage.ap/index.html
I don't know how business works in Spain, but maybe Valencia people don't directly run that site. They may have some company run the site and they just give them the information that's going on, and maybe the web people mis-took something they were told and put it out as official? There has to be some reasonable answer as to why one club released something as fact while the other club completely denies it.
Re: Revs vs Valencia 8/3/2010 I just can't see this. It makes no sense. Revs have a league game on July 10 and then on July 31st, and August 7th, with the break in between for the SuperLiga. Right now, this it the Revs schedule, not even taking into account possible USOC matchups. July 10th, league match July 14th, SuperLiga first round July 17th or 18th, SuperLiga first round July 20th, SuperLiga first round July 31st, league match August 7th, league match So this schedule doesn't take into account USOC, SuperLiga semis/finals, or the Valencia game. As many have said, I don't see why the Revs would do this.
Re: Revs vs Valencia 8/3/2010 We have no agreement in place to play Valencia nor are we in any advanced negotiations to do so at this time http://twitter.com/Revolution_COO/status/10619458876 Seriously they're not coming here. No idea why it's on their site, especially with a date. Doubt the other dates are correct http://twitter.com/Revolution_COO/status/10636879924 We talk with dozens of teams every year and generally neither side discloses those discussion unless an agreement is reached. http://twitter.com/Revolution_COO/status/10672632048 We've never had any real discussions with Valencia about coming, who'd they play, what dates, etc. http://twitter.com/Revolution_COO/status/10672680248 tough given Superliga (3+ matches in Jul/Aug) . Most int. teams want to come after WC and that's when we have Superliga. http://twitter.com/Revolution_COO/status/10673723424
http://www.valenciacf.com/contenidos/Actualidad/Noticias/2010/03/Noticia_21207.html I believe this may be the source, and if so, make sure to check the date: it's over a month old; the schedule and plans could certainly have changed by then.
