Europeans to Invade America’s Major League Soccer Season

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

Stanford Stadium

By Jorge Segura

There is a European invasion planned for this summer.  Don’t be afraid, it’s only the best soccer teams crossing the pond to kick of their spring training — scratch that.  I guess it’s called summer training.  The week long tournament is called The World Football Challenge (translation: World Soccer Challenge).  The Biggest teams from Europe will be involved in friendly soccer games all across the U.S.A.
Note:  Even though they are touted as friendlies and exhibition matches, when Inter faces Milan there will be nothing friendly between these two inner city rivals.

The Schedule for the games is as follows:
 
Sunday, July 19
Club America vs. FC Internazionale Milano at Stanford Stadium (Palo Alto, Calif.)
7 p.m. EST on ESPN2

Tuesday, July 21
Chelsea FC vs. FC Internazionale Milano at the Rose Bowl (Pasadena, Calif.)
