This would be sweet. I'd plan to attend, assuming the tix weren't astronomical.

Although Chivas is not a South American team (which is what the Cletic press release claims will be in opponent in Philly), there were a number of earlier reports of a Celtic - Chivas match in NY on July 15. If I had to guess, Philly gets the Celtic - Chivas match on July 16 to tap both the Scot and Mexican fan base (wonder how many of them supported the Mexican version of the Atoms????). If the opponent is truly South American, I would assume that it would have to be Argie (Boca, River Plate) or Brazilian to have much of a draw at the gate.

Well, there will be no good news announced today.

Chivas has pulled out of the match. Celtic don't have an opponent to play.

Oh well.

Or it could be explained that the Eagles and LFF are just wimps and didn't want to spend a day or two trying to find a opponent for Celtic FC.
Lame.

Yeah, it does sound lame. I love the Eagles, but sometimes the way their front office approaches things I get annoyed with.

Looks like the Eagles took their ball and went home... again...

We'll still be able to see the Bhoys in DC, which I think is a way more exciting matchup than the Goats. It's a little longer drive, though which sucks
