International Champions Cup

[Jimbo]

Valencia spanked Inter 4-0 this morning, while Chelsea eventually put Milan away 2-0

So on Wednesday morning Inter play Juventus for 7th, and LA Galaxy play Valencia fir fifth

Thursday has Everton v Milan for third place, and Real Madrid v Chelsea in the final

Everton did pretty well considering the comparative strength of the teams. Hit the post, had a goal ruled out harshly and should have gotten a pen in the first half too IMO.

Was an entertaining match.

Why are Everton playing in a "comp" titled in such a way anyhow?

It's an america tournament, why try and apply logic? It's probably payment for allowing Donovan to go on loan.

He's not

Voyeur is just feigning interest, as evidenced by post #18

Point taken..

Marcelo makes it 1-0. Well deserved. We've been stuck in our half since kick off.

And then Rami steps up within a minute. 1-1

Looks like a pretty good game, going by the commentary...

Ronaldo > Messi

He's class although he was allowed to run unchecked.

Disappointing result to finish, but the tournament was a great workout

Final rankings:

1. Real Madrid
2. Chelsea
3. AC Milan
4. LA Galaxy
5. Valencia
6. Everton
7. Inter
8. Juventus

The final could well be a prelude to the latter stages of the Champions League, while it looks like Inter and Juve have some work to do...
