ICC Trophy

[Thoth]

Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea will be involved in this summer's International Champions Cup across three continents.

 

Last year's Premier League top six sides will be joined by Europe's best sides in Bayern Munich, Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid and PSG, with 27 games across 24 days in North America, Europe and Singapore.

 

Premier League champions Man City kick their tournament off in Chicago in the early hours of July 21 against Borussia Dortmund, before facing Liverpool in New Jersey in a replay of the Champions League quarter-final, and Bayern Munich in Miami a few days later.

Man Utd kick off against AC Milan in Pasadena, then face Liverpool in Ann Arbor and Real Madrid in Miami, while Liverpool will also play Jurgen Klopp's former side Borussia Dortmund.

 

Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs face Roma, Barcelona and AC Milan, and both Arsenal and Chelsea also have three games each.

With speculation surrounding the futures of Arsene Wenger and Antonio Conte rife, the clubs play each other in Stockholm on August 4, after Arsenal face Atletico Madrid and PSG, and Chelsea play Sevilla and Inter Milan.

 

In one of the remaining standout fixtures, Real play Juventus in Washington DC on August 4 in a replay of their controversial Champions League quarter-final, with Sevilla, Benfica and Roma also involved.

 

Seventeen of the 17 games will be played in North America, while seven are in Europe and three are in Singapore

[Grinch]

Across three continents....what a load of money making bullshit that is.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Lame.

 

Deserves to be in the shitness of arranged friendly football thread.

[VladimirIlyich]

Shit. Who gives a flying fuck.

[CWD82]

Don’t agree with playing United in a ‘friendly’.

[BCM]

Thankfully there is a world cup on.... so by the time that has finished i wont have any interest in meaningless friendlies.

 

A nice break , then ready for the 1st week of the prem next season

[Barnesey]

This is better than a 39th match

[VladimirIlyich]

So we're all playing each other at Cricket and leaving the Football until August? Great idea.

[ZonkoVille77]

Fuckin shite.

[UnwelcomeinPeru]

Fuckin shite.

 

'Pep' has come in for criticism recently but one thing you can't take him to task for is his controlled outswingers, which he uses very effectively before bringing one back into the batsman's pads.

I'll take your word for it.

[Anubis]

It'll give the U23's looking to break into the senior side a run out.

 

Where's the ICC money, John.
