Steve Goff of the Washington Post reports one of the fixtures will be on 28 July in Atlanta v. Club America (a Mexican team)

Hmmm. Does a pre season tour count as training?

just a thought who will be playing for us over there?? most of our squad will have been to SA no? and when does the qualifing for the chumps league start?

i started doing the math, and i'm not sure as many will be in SA as we think - look at our starting lineup:

given - no
richards - no
toure - yes
lescott - maybe
bridge - maybe (if he changes his mind, but as of now no)
adam johnson - maybe
barry - yes
de jong - yes
bellamy - no
adebayor - no
tevez - yes

not as bad a group going as i originally thought

i'm in baltimore, so i'm hoping for a DC/Baltimore/Philly date

I am on permanent holiday here. I just wish we had a stadium here in South Florida that would make sense.

Errant post :(

That's great, that Club America is actually known by the name Chivas, probably the biggest in Mexico.

What do you mean?

Nevermind, my Spanish still sucks.. sorry... ignore that..

Actually that is very wrong.
Club America and Chivas are rivals. Club America is a Mexico City based team, whereas Chivas ('the Goats") are based out of Guadalajara. Both are regularly contenders for the Mexican title.
I'm excited about the tour, personally. I live in Canada, so it is a relatively short bus or plane ride to catch a game.

Heres hoping they play at the Panthers stadium In Charlotte . Mexico v Iceland Freindly just played there 60 odd thousend people went ,
Come On City you know it makes sense.

Come to New York City, Citeh! I will show you guys what tail gating's all about ; )

I was originally leaving for Taiwan end of August, it got moved to end of May ... then this is announced. I'm in Baltimore it wouldn't have been more than a 4 hour trip to probably any of the venues for these games and I am going to fucking miss every one of them. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCKKKKKKKKkk

A four day (plus any added) jaunt for me and Lady Disco would be superb.

Indeed! Incredible generosity from one of our members!

No idea what the competition will be yet but I'm sure the chances of winning would be greatly increased if people were to chose me as their 'plus one' ;o)
