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

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Hmmm. Does a pre season tour count as training?

[dazlebluefrog]

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

We are in the big time. Anybody going to America this year on holiday then?!

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..

[cdncityfan]

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.

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

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)
