 Europe has heard our cries. They have granted us an exhibition Pity Cup that no one outside of the US will give one poo poo about. But who cares! Champions League teams right here in the goddamn US of A. And they might not even bench everyone good! The  International Champions Cup kicks off on July 24th in Tronno. There will be a total of 13 games held in 13 different stadiums throughout the US and Canada. There are two groups. Group stage is 3 games, and the teams from each group who gave the closest thing resembling a gently caress will play in the "final."

Wait, this is a 'tournament'? I thought City were just playing a few friendlies in the US, I didn't realise it was a 'Barclays Asia Trophy' sort of thing.

What does the trophy look like? Is it nice and meaty? Is it a proper pour-champagne-in-the-top dealie or is it shaped like one of the sponsors?

It's a mirror with "The true winner:" engraved on top, so when the triumphant captain hoists it aloft all the fans can see themselves in it and understand their value to the franchise

Wish the game in Dallas was not midweek, I would drive down there for a Thursday or Friday game, but can't for a Tuesday. I love the Cotton Bowl, go every year to watch my Alma Mater, The University of Oklahoma Sooners take on the longhorns of texas.

Kale is bad for your thyroid and also causes you to be a total hipster bitch. That's just science.
