Chelsea/USA Tour

Chelsea FC Tours America in July 2012

Chelsea is having a USA Tour with 4 cities, Seattle, New York, Philadelphia, and Miami. This is going to be an extreme tour and should be amazing!
In Seattle, this will be Chelsea's 5th visit on July 18! Last visit, back in 2009, Sturridge and Lampard finished off the game with a solid 2-0 win for Chelsea in the full capacity crowd of 69,000. When Chelsea first toured Seattle in 1967, they defeated an amateur team 5-0 at the Memorial Stadium.The squad is very excited to tour through this wonderful city. Next stop leads us to the Big Apple, New York City! It has been almost 60 years since Chelsea has last played New York. Now they will play here again on July 22! All the players say they are looking forward to seeing the home of the UN, to the Statue of liberty, to the Empire State Building. The city of dreams. Next up, Chelsea visits Philadelphia for a fight against the MLS All-stars on July 25. The PPL Stadium, where the game will be held, is usually home to the MLS team Philadelphia Union, who currently have plans on expanding their club. The MLS All-star squad has not yet been confirmed, however, last years game against Manchester United had appearances from both David Beckham and Thierry Henry. The MLS All-stars ended up losing 4-0 to United, but now look to find vengeance against Chelsea FC this year. The final stop will take us to Miami on July 28, where Chelsea will have its first game in Florida ever recorded. We will be meeting AC Milan, who have been a regular pre-season for Chelsea recently, as in 2009 we beat them 2-1. Due to Miami's Spanish-speaking community, soccer has become such a great part in the state. Miami is the 5th biggest city in America, populated at 5 million people, who enjoy the hot and humid temperatures on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. On average, the temperature in July is around 30 degrees Celsius! These Englishmen are going to be dead tired playing in this heat!
I am of course extremely excited to see the Blues go to each city and watch them destroy as the usually do. I myself may even get an opportunity to go watch them live down in Seattle! What a fantastic football club!
