What's the problem with some of you? Like someone gives a fuck about winning that shitty tournament.

Just:
- play the youth team

- Mourinho gets to know his team

- ???

- profit $$$

Regarding the International Champions Cup pre-season tournament...

1st of August, Chelsea-Inter: the (likely) first ever game of José Mourinho against Inter

[Alfp26 59]

From Marca:

"Valencia will play against Chelsea on June 3 in New York"

-> http://www.marca.com/2013/05/27/futbol/equipos/real_madrid/1369639482.html

I think the month in that date is wrong because the tournament starts the 27 July and ends 7 August. I suppose the date should be the 3rd of August?

So that means we'll be playing Inter, Valencia and AC Milan then?

Seriously, what's with us playing the Milan teams almost every year in pre-season?!

Match 2: 30th July _ Chelsea-Inter in Indy

Match 3: 31st July _ Juventus-Everton in San Francisco

Match 4: 1st August _ Real Madrid-LA in Phoenix.

winners semi finals:

Winner of match 1 (Valencia/Milan) v Winner of match 2 (Chelsea/Inter)

Winner of match 3 (Juventus/Everton) v Winner of match 4 (Real Madrid/LA)

and then the winners of those play each other in the final. The losers play in a match for 3rd/4th place.

Losers semi finals:

Loser of match 1 (Valencia/Milan) v Loser of match 2 (Chelsea/Inter)

Loser of match 3 (Juventus/Everton) v Loser of match 4 (Real Madrid/LA)

And then the winners play each other in the 'losers' final and the losers play in a match for 7th/8th place
