Hello there! I found something that you guys might find interesting.. A friend of mine some days ago told me that he read on the "Gazzetta dello Sport" (italian sports newspaper) a New York soccer team was at the Viareggio Tournament. This is a famous youth tournament here in italy. That sounded strange to me because I didn't know it (I expected to read something on these boards.. if itsn't here -- it doesn't exists ). Anyway I searched and well there is this team called "New York United" that played some matches. These were the results. INTER - NEW YORK UNITED 8-0 NEW YORK UNITED - BENEVENTO 0-2 NEW YORK UNITED - VENEZIA 0-6 Oh well too bad Thought you might want to know.
They got crushed. Thanks for the info though, it's hard for any club teams here to come anywehre close to the level of the teams overseas, but our ODP state and regional teams usually do fair-ok over there.
Here is something on the latest developments at the tournament: http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/feb23h.html
