Manchester United US Tour 2004 (all ManUtd threads merged here)

Yawn.

 

The only other confirmed club is Celtic. There are rumors about Liverpool, Chelsea, Real Madrid and AC Milan...

 

chelsea is playing the mls all stars at the all star game at rfk.

I've also heard rumblings of liverpool coming over. Liverpool vs. Celtic in Boston I believe.

can anyone confirm this? i called champions world last week and they said the official times and dates were to be announced this thursday.

 

Chelsea also touring...

From the LA Times 03/16:

Chelsea and MLS?

Chelsea, second to Arsenal in the English Premier League, could be the opponent for MLS All-Stars for the American league's midsummer game this season, according to ussocceruk.com.

The game would be played at Washington's RFK Stadium.

The English club has made waves since being purchased last summer by Russian billionaire oil tycoon Roman Abramovich.

"The … opponent and site are still being determined," Trey Fitzgerald, MLS director of communications, told the website. "Chelsea is one of several international clubs being considered, while RFK Stadium is one of several sites being considered."

tickets go on sale on the 30th except for the Roma and Pool match on apr 3

 

...and, finally, dear God, we remember Thy most holy words, that "the first shall be last, and the last shall be first".

Please, God, please...make it Monaco v. Deportivo in the final of the Champions League final, and Gençlerbirligi (or Valencia, if Thou can forgive the cardinal sin of being in the G-14) v. Benfica in the UEFA Cup Final, and I will....ummm....promise never, ever again, to be mean to my fellow posters.

Amen.

Re: Manchester United US Tour 2004

How come their are so many footbal matches on the E coast and hardly one on W coast?!

 

Re: Manchester United US Tour 2004

Hey, the West Coast gets the lion's share of Mexican National matches, which I wouldn't mind seeing over here more often than once a year. I realize the weather cuts the East Coast out of several months of matches, so maybe this is payback.

Seriously though, I wonder if the European clubs prefer to stay on the East Coast. They traveled enough hours to get to the States as it is. The thought of more hours on a plane to and from the West Coast for a single match probably doesn't seem appealing.

 

Re: Manchester United US Tour 2004

I got my ticket to the Giants Stadium July 31 match this morning. Man U vs. AC Milan. Fourth row(!), ground level, near one of the goals.

Who's going to any of the matches. Declare yourselves!

 

Re: Manchester United US Tour 2004

Got tickets for ManU vs Bayern Munich in Chicago. Only ones left anywhere close to the field was section 126, row 15. Never been to Soldier Field, are these seats horrible since it's that tiny corner section on the map.
