    Boooooo nothing within 750 miles of me. Typical, come on English sides in Tampa, Miami, Atlanta or something do-able. Please.

    The Rangers pulled out of the American tour. Most likely from that Boston article bashing their fans. What a shame, that would have been the best game of the summer.

    I'm loving that more squads are coming over to the US in summer. It makes sense to play teams that are getting better and in form!

    10K a game? summer friendlies vs Boca Jr and Man City? you guys are already more of an MLS team than some MLS teams :D

    nobody had notified me of the POR v BOCA game but i saw it when i did a ticketmaster scan to update the thread. the POR v MAN CITY game wasn't on there but if it is for season ticket holders only that makes sense. why not at PGE for more fans?

    thanks for the heads up. i will add it after i get a few other updates.

    Well the management made a non-public "promise" to us the supporters of PTFC a few months back that they were going to try an arrange a high level friendly "against a top EPL team" . They said it would be a thank you for backing the club in the MLS bid and would be made for season ticket holders only. That was the word on the street. Lot's of us already knew about this and in fact knew it was Man City in the works, but we could not really say anything until the official word was out.

    Why at UofP? Well because it is a thank you to the season ticket holders, we have about 5,000 full-season ticket holders & UofP holds about 5,000 (great fit, eh?). Also it so happens the baseball team is on a 9 day home stand at that time.

    Good stuff. It's going to be one great party this summer in PDX.

    EDIT: It also helps that the Nike WHQ is located here & the North American HQ of ADIDAS is also here in Portland. In fact we get alot of international teams and players through PDX for various Nike & ADIDAS stuff. I'm assuming this has helped & will help us in the future as the club rolls into MLS. One of the main promotion management guys for Man City is from Portland and used to work at Nike.

    Any TV info on any of these games?

    Red Bulls vs Juventus is on FSC and so is Seattle vs Boca Juniors the following week, along with Chicago vs AC Milan.

    When they were talking about the United tour during the Houston-KC game on FSC the other week they had the FSC logo next to the KC game.

    Maybe also because they can't afford the trip.

    Now there's a club that's flat-out broke.

    Welcome to KC for most of the Wizards existence. the United game this year is only the 4th international club friendly here since 96. Wizards vs Veracruz 96, Wizards vs Atlas 08, Chivas vs Club America 09

    I suspect there will be friendlies in Dallas. There usually are. Whether with FCD at PHP, or mega-friendlies at Jerry-world. Get Chivas versus any big club in Europe, put it in the Jerry Death Star.......and the game would sell out instantly. People (aka SUM) knows this.

    Seems to me that if MLS want to attrack more people, they should televise all these International Friendly games.
