Man City and Chelsea are going to play a friendly at Busch this summer.
That's check and mate. Case closed.
Especially since it probably will be the equivalent to the Memphis Redbirds playing an exhibition game against the Round Rock Express.
It would be the equivalent of the Dodgers playing the Yankees in Birmingham, England in spring training.
Anyway, Jim, I don't know what you're doing for lunch but I'm probably going to grab a bite in the park and soak up some rays. Like I've been doing since October.

It's more like a spring training game between the Dodgers' AAA affiliate and the Yankees' AAA affiliate. You might get appearances from the Tim Federowiczes and David Aardmas, which I'm sure will be exciting.

Yeah except it would the Yankees and Dodgers in an exhibition game. Instead it's Man City and a friendly? It sounds more like a statement on gay rights than an athletic contest.

They organize these tours with stipulations that most of the big players will be there. They don't pay them millions to bring over the youth team.

zing!
It was kinda warm today, I would have preferred the mid 70's instead of the low 80's.

I doubt the organizers care, as long as they can put "English Premiere League Fixture!" on the ticket. The EPL has a massive international following, and this is as close as many of those fans can get to a live game.
I don't see how anybody expect the top players to show up for a friendly a few thousand miles away from England four days after the EPL season ends.
Another criticism I have of the sport - would we all agree that lead changes in games tend to correlate to excitement? Wouldn't more lead changes be a more exciting game? How many lead changes to you get in soccer. Do you ever get lead changes? I never hear of a team coming back from a 2-0 deficit, it seems like the team that makes it 1-0 wins about 99% of the time. At worst they tie.
