It seems to me that the european teams are a little undermotivated to play their best. The players rarely get past a jog and it just does not look like the soccer they play in their usual season and leagues. The WFC, in my opinion, is about publicity- cause the commentators sound like their covering a beauty pagent- glamourized soccer as I’ve never seen it.

Does anyone know how/why the clubs are chosen to participate in the World Football Challenge? I have been to their official site, but it doesn’t say how these teams get into this tournement.

Thanks!

@John,

cheers mate, nice to see that you came through from the radio. To be accurate, that was Chris Toy, one of our editors, not the owner of the site.

cheers,
Ahmed

wow almost every body is worried about AC Milan and Inter with their expensive players, and their controversy problems. the team that most people didnt even worry about is taking the big fish out slowly and one at a time.
GO CLUB AMERICA!!

Many people in Baltimore are excited about the Chelsea-AC Milan game. I found out about it a few weeks after tickets sold out. Very cool to see two top notch European soccer teams playing at Ravens Stadium. From what I heard in an interview on local radio yesterday (WYPR in Baltimore), the president of the Baltimore Ravens imported real grass to cover the astroturf that the Ravens play on. Also enjoyed listening to the webmaster of Soccerlens.com on that same program! That’s how I found out about this site.

I attended the Inter/Chelsea game at the Rose Bowl yesterday, after a 5 hour drive from Las Vegas. While I cherished the opportunity to finally see a live professional match, my experience as one of those ‘first-live-game Americans’ left me very confused and even angered by the other Chelsea “supporters.” I was mocked, harassed, and threatened with violence and death for singing, standing, waving my scarf, and generally supporting the team. I wrote about the details in the forum here (http://soccerlens.com/forum/topic/re-inter-vs-chelsea-friendly-in-usa-supporter-behavior-questions)

But once that was resolved after the first goal, it was a great experience and a rare chance to see two incredible teams and many world class players. When my tiny student budget rebuilds, I’d love to go to a Galaxy game to try again!

I was thrilled to see the stadium in Seattle packed to the hilt for a friendly game with Chelsea. But more important was the fact that the fans were painted up, dancing, chanting, etc. for their team. I felt that soccer just maybe has come of age in America. We have a USL team here but MLS is too far away to catch the spirit. I wanted to get tickets for Baltimore but I see they are “Sold Out”.
