no :laugh:

[Shaun]

"international"

only has european teams

lol

[BBfanUSA]

It was supposed to have a MLS team since it's in the states but because of the world cup they nixed that.

Most MLS teams are having friendlies anyway, Last MLS Cup winner Sporting Kansas City (who would've been the US team most likely, since last year, LA, was in it because they won the MLS Cup) are facing Manchester United.

Also Fox Sports is carrying the tournament overhere, I just want to apologize in advance, The Commentary is going to be probably horrid. (NBCSN and ESPN are better anyway.)

[alex_front2]

Which uk broadcaster is showing La Galaxy v Man U?

[Brother Leon]

Easy win.

[BBfanUSA]

Which broadcaster is showing La Galaxy v Man U?

Fox Sports 1, The Game is on at 11 PM tonight.

I think NBCSN is showing AS Roma vs Liverpool tonight. (Not related to the ICC but in the US)

There are going to be Six nationally televised games tonight, I think at least two are MLS Fixtures, 3 are MLS vs European teams, and 1 is the AS Roma vs Liverpool friendly.

EDIT: Didn't catch the edit Al, sorry.

[alex_front2]

Easy win.

For Man U? Not sure, new boss, new players (herrera, shaw), no evra, vidic, ferdinand; giggs now the assistant gaffa, zaha and young possibility of play, and LA Galaxy believing they scent blood it could be easily a Man U defeat.

[Calderyon]

3 from England, 3 from Italy, 1 from Spain and 1 from Greece. Some International that is.

Hopefully Man U lose, though.

Wasn't being fully serious :p


Madrid V City final probably.

[Locke.]

City will be finishing bottom of our group on 0 points

[Drew.]

Midnight is great time for football, should be pretty good.

[Achilles]

United going Dutch 3-5-2 :banana:

[Novo]

Liverpool :joker: :joker:

[Locke.]

Wrong thread, we have yet to play a ICC game

[Achilles]

United going Dutch 3-5-2 :banana:

I'm watching WC again

United finally have a quality central midfielder ANDER HERRERA :cheer2:

[Locke.]

2 hours!!!!

[Brother Leon]

Time to add this to our Chevrolet Cup and before League #21 is added.

[Locke.]

Dominguez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Locke.]

Jesus, what a goal!!!!!!!! 3-0

[Achilles]

I hope for United v Liverpool or United v City final

LVG's Golden Balls and Red Devils = WINNING :cheer2:

:devil:

[Black Dagger]

I'm sure this will surpass the highlight of us winning the Asia trophy last year.

[Brother Leon]

Vs Roma tomorrow. Memories of one of my fave ever matches.

Didn't realise they're gonna be playing at the Broncos stadium

A fine set of athletes

[Drew.]

The other half has been with Arsenal

[Locke.]

Real - Inter tonight from 11 on SS1.. Utd's game is only on MUTV because no one other than Utd fans wants to watch them

[Brother Leon]

Cleverly named captain for tonight.


Huge confidence placed in him by Van Gaal.

[BBfanUSA]

Just turned on Man United-AS Roma,

Anything of note?

[BBfanUSA]

Rooney gets it in from Way out.

[Brother Leon]

ROONEY & MATA!!!


Won't be too shocked if Reece James keeps Shaw out the side for a few games. Should be great competition between the two.

[Brother Leon]

ROONEY!!!

3-0

[Drew.]

Mata >

The technique..

[Brother Leon]

Away kit so much better than the home one. Still **** though...that logo is nothing short of hideous.

[Brother Leon]

What a goal. Alonso type goal by Pjanic. Bloody hell.

[Brother Leon]

**** off Ref.


Tott pen. 2-3


Full time. 3-2 win. Terrible 2nd half, but 9 changes at HT would do that.

[Achilles]

I been trying to support Nani for months, but these 2 friendly games he has annoyed me. Doesn't look like he arsed at all. Think we should actually sell him now.

[Brother Leon]

Nani has been finished for 2 years. Ridiculous how much hate Valencia and Young get and yet Nani has a section of fanboys that won't accept he is just as **** in 2014. Young has been alright so far on tour. Probably bought himself some extra time.


Also. Van Gaal is going to need to work them real hard on understanding the Wing Back position in this formation. Both flanks look lost..especially Shaw. James looked decent though. All in all..can't complain so far. A CB and CM in and we will look real good again.

[BBfanUSA]

What games are today?

[Locke.]

City-AC Milan starting now, Liverpool-Olympiakos on straight after.

City should beat Milan, they looked horrific against Olympiakos the other night.

[Locke.]

2-0 already. Good finishes from Jovetic and Sinclair

[Drew.]

Jovetic will come good for city next season

[Locke.]

Jones, Johnson, Skrtel, Toure, Enrique, Gerrard, Henderson, Can, Sterling, Markovic, Sturridge

Lets go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

[Drew.]

The big guns are out.. I expect Markovic to bang in a hat trick and nothing less

[Locke.]

Sterling!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Brother Leon]

United V Inter at midnight tonight.


Zaha starting it looks like.

[Brother Leon]

Lindegaard

Smalling
Jones
Evans

Valencia
Fletcher
Herrera
Young

Mata

Rooney
Welbeck

SUBS: de Gea, Amos, Johnstone, M Keane, Blackett, James, Cleverley, Nani, Zaha, Kagawa, Lingard, Hernandez, W Keane.

Shaw not even on the Bench...is his fitness THAT bad? :shocked:

[Novo]

May as well watch a bit of this

[Brother Leon]

Errrm...wut

LOL

[Locke.]

Is it on sky or just mutv again?

[Brother Leon]

All United matches are exclusive to MUTV :\

[Jemal]

Valencia is terrible

[Brother Leon]

Valencia :joker:

Him and Nani have been pure ****e this tour. Bloody hell...Young is our bloody best winger :| :laugh:

[Brother Leon]

Quality stream on Youtube. It's a little behind, but better than flash ones at least.

EDIT: Never mind...the quality went to ****.

Barca would be proud.

[Jemal]

Great move nani and kags

[Brother Leon]

Jamie Jackson spouting bollocks about Shaw not being on the bench due to fitness and he magically comes on and paces the whole Inter team :joker:


EDIT: Nani LOL smh.

[Brother Leon]

Inter park the Jumbo jet again hoping to win on Pens.

5-4 on Pens. Fletcher scores the winning one :). Real Madrid infront of 100k people next.

[Locke.]

According to the match official, Real Madrid's Pepe spit in the face of Roma's Seydou Keita before the match.

Can't wait for Suarez to get this little bastard next season

Roma beat them as well. So Group A is:

Utd - 5
Roma - 3
Inter - 3
Madrid - 1

So Madrid are out

[Legend killer]

Watching Ashley play as a wing back is a sight for sore eyes looks like he is competing in the Paralympics out there

[Brother Leon]

Weird agenda. He was a lot better than Nani who got took off after 30mins as he was so ****e.

[BBfanUSA]

Watched a bit of the second half of the Real-Roma match,

Wow, look at all the pitch invaders, :laugh:

And boy that stadium announcer was loud during the match.

[Brother Leon]

Real v United in front of 100k people will be crazy. Ronaldo will probably be mobbed. Rooney gets a lot of love out there too. He always seems more likes outside of England :laugh:

[BBfanUSA]

It's going to be the first time they've played a match in the big stadium.

Should be at least 80k.

[Drew.]

Barca would be proud.

We play like this every week

[Brother Leon]

We play like this every week

To quote the great Patrice Evra

"I see Arsenal's football compared to Barcelona. One club wins trophies with their style and the other's highlight of the season is maybe drawing with United. It is no competition against them. They are boys and we are Men"

http://i.cr3ation.co.uk/dl/s1/gif/8278.2n850dh.gif

[Drew.]

Well that was unexpected

[Legend killer]

Weird agenda. He was a lot better than Nani who got took off after 30mins as he was so ****e.

LOL no lad your the one with the weird agenda. If you think Ashley looked any sort of good in that wing back role you need to pick up another sport.

Tony as a wingback option is not too bad but LVG even has the thought of putting Ashley in there in ANY SORT OF MEANIGNFUL game he should back his bags and leave now

We are still carrying way too many average players in the squad it's beyond a joke tbh

[Legend killer]

I quite like the new formation but the real test LVG and his balls will be when RVP returns as to get the best out of the formation Danny needs to play up top due to his speed. Which means either dropping Fatty or RVP when we play 3-5-2. Fatty hasn't looked to bad on the tour (small game player I know) so should be RVP who is asked to ride the bench for the start of the season

[Brother Leon]

Like I said...your agenda is clear. He defended well on both flanks and when he switched flanks to the right he provided abit of attack too. Stepped up first and Dispatched his Pen easy too. Get over the fact it's Ashley Young tbh. I could swear you must love posting your 1* jokes about him every other day more than anything else so you are going to hope he stinks it up.

He's generally been our best wide player on tour along with Reece James(not saying much)

[Brother Leon]

City V Liverpool tonight...

Confirmed @LFC team v @MCFC: Jones, Kelly, Toure, Coates, Enrique, Gerrard, Henderson, Allen, Coutinho, Lambert, Sturridge #lfctour

R.I.P

[BBfanUSA]

And it's being played at Yankee Stadium in New York.

[Legend killer]

LOOOL these ain't Doncaster Rovers lad this is Man United the biggest club in the world yet the amount of mediocrity which has been let fly by the club and fans in particular the last few years in beyond a joke

So Gashley has been our best wide player in a formation which doesn't use wide players has he lol please do explain. Due to this fact he hasn't looked like a complete crippled as he is not being asked to bear or run past an opponent all he is being asked to do is provide an outlet pass THAT'S IT. If you would be happy with the vision of Ashley having to track the likes of Hazard back next year your even more clueless then I thought

I suppose you think we might aswell give up on Vidal now aswell after Fletch's performance last night lol?? The mediocrity is beyond the likes of Tony Tom Ashley and this VERSION of Fletch would be no where near starting for any other top team yet they are main players in ours smh

Get real lad

LOOOOOOOOOOL yeah he must have been under IMMENSE pressure with all that was on the line what a stupid comment

[Brother Leon]

Where have I said he should start you mongrel?

I am simply saying that he shouldn't of been the person singled out in your post as he wasn't anywhere near as bad as you were making out and was better than your buddy Nani in that same position, but whatever...your obsession with the guy is obviously beyond repair.

[BBfanUSA]

LOL Great looking crowd but way more Red than Blue.

Man City's ownership group is starting a new club in NY in the MLS in that exact stadium.

[Novo]

The Crowd is dead, they need to lift this terrible game

[Brother Leon]

Two terrible clubs. Cant blame the Americans for not caring about this.

[Black Dagger]

Nice to see Gerrard picking up where he left off.

[Black Dagger]

ffs ****e timing.

[Brother Leon]

Gerrard :joker:

[Drew.]

I know it's pre season but Gerrard and Sturridge were unbelievably bad. Decent second half in the end.. Can looks like a great player.

[Brother Leon]

Liverpool win on Pens. A couple terrible Pens by Kolorov(I think?) and Sturridge.

[Jack.]

Looks like it will be us against utd in the final :laugh:

[Locke.]

Really enjoyable game last night, felt like a league game, especially the second half. Can't believe how much Sterling's finishing has improved over the last year, double figures in the league for him in the upcoming season.

Liverpool-Utd final would be great.

[Brother Leon]

United V Madrid in 5mins

http://i.imgur.com/hgkM8nI.jpg?1


All that Red!!!

[Drew.]

Must be a mistake, think that's Madrids pink away shirts.

[Drew.]

The difference between this pre season United compared to last season is insane, great goal

these commentators though "you will not see a better goal than that next season in terms of passing".. please.

[Brother Leon]

Young!!!!

Inb4****jokebyLK

[Brother Leon]

Young again!!

2-1 after a Bale pen.

Rather have our Asia cup than this jobber trophy anyway.

[Brother Leon]

HERNANDEZ!!!!

Off to Miami we go then.

[Brother Leon]

3-1 FT


It's only pre season, but to think 12 months ago we were getting dicked by Japanese teams and Sevilla at OT.

[Brother Leon]

LOL at Marca's photoshopping...

http://i.imgur.com/mxqb1FH.jpg

[Locke.]

Should be a good game tonight. There is no such thing as a friendly between Liverpool/Utd.

Sturridge/Lallana/Flanagan all back in the UK though, and Markovic a doubt too. We are lucky that Can is capable of destroying the Utd midfield all by himself.

[Ninastar]

What channel and time plz?

[Locke.]

Sky Sports 1 from 1am

[Brother Leon]

We will probably start a strong team and make 9 changes or so at HT like we've been doing. Should be a good one. Any chinks in the new system should be exposed in the game and will give us time to work on it.

[Ninastar]

ffs always bloody sky sports

[Calderyon]

Hopefully Liverpool wins.

[Tarryn]

Hopefully Liverpool wins.

If they do it can be another thing I can blame Ed Woodard for.............

[Petershaw1984]

ffs always bloody sky sports

It's on mutv as well, also plenty of feeds online

[Locke.]

Mignolet, Kelly, Skrtel, Sakho, Johnson, Gerrard, Allen, Henderson, Coutinho, Sterling, Lambert

De Gea, Evans, Smalling, Jones; Valencia, Herrera, Fletcher, Young; Mata; Rooney, Hernández

[Alf]

I hope both teams lose five players each to broken legs.

[Brother Leon]

I hope both teams lose five players each to broken legs.

Oh dear.

[Novo]

Think united will win pretty easily against that Liverpool team

[Brother Leon]

Just for old times sake before the match..

http://www.football-banter.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/gerrard-slip.gif

[Locke.]

With the players we've got available at the minute that's pretty much the best team we can put out, with the exception of Can for Allen, but Allen was great against Milan in the last game anyway

[Alf]

Oh dear.
You should really be saying Oh dear to yourself, because I was only joking, while your taking a pre-season training match seriously.

[Brother Leon]

You should really be saying Oh dear to yourself, because I was only joking, while your taking a pre-season training match seriously.

Whenever United play Liverpool it should be took seriously. You'll realise this once you have a team that cares enough to hate Everton :idc:

[Locke.]

Look at that gorgeous, very prestigious trophy

[Alf]

Whenever United play Liverpool it should be took seriously. You'll realise this once you have a team that cares enough to hate Everton :idc:
Being a mid-table team does turn you very bitter doesn't it?

You'll grow to hate us soon, when we keep finishing above you.

[Brother Leon]

Stupid Yanks. We can't see ****.

[Brother Leon]

3rd pen conceded on tour. Jones :joker:

[Locke.]

So far so good. We look pretty comfortable and Utd look a mess at the back.

[Brother Leon]

Hernandez is so getting sold :laugh:

[Locke.]

Kristian Walsh ‏@Kristian_Walsh 8m
Hilarious moment as United players on the side begin their half time warm up - only to be sent into darkness by concert.

LOL. These American's. They have got some DJ show on at half time

[Brother Leon]

What a bizarre goal. How did it bounce like that? LOL

[Jack.]

Well. Three wins out of four matches is good. Roll on Southampton

[Locke.]

Utd taking that disgusting ugly trophy that nobody cares about home

[Brother Leon]

Kagawa robbing Young's assist :joker:


Nice 2nd half. Real test and they came through.

[Jack.]

Utd taking that disgusting ugly trophy that nobody cares about home

:yuk: it's so awful looking,

[Alf]

Very confident that Everton will finish above those two steaming dog turds.

[Locke.]

Arsenal would be preparing for their open top bus parade if this was them, Drew 10 beers in dancing round the streets of Hastings

[Novo]

Easy enough in the end for United, played better then Liverpool for nearly the whole match tbf even in the first half
