Same article as the Chelsea/DC game.

Yeah but we got Universidad Catolica! 🙄

Actually, this can only be good news for MLS, right? Forza Milan!

Forza Milan!!! Man, it might be worth trying to figure out how to get to the game if Maldini comes. Maldini has to be my all-time favorite player... I wonder when we will hear more about what type of a roster these teams will bring. I presume that they typically bring a few stars and then "scrubs". Is this traditionally true?

Yes its true. Only about half or less of the starters will travel and then some might not even play. Mostly this is a American trip to get the benchwarmers the time they need in front of an audience to be ready for the big games.
But I am sure Andriy Shevchenko will make an appearance.
