WHAT?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????

Damn..... if Montreal can get FIORENTINA AND AC MILAN, we better get something damn good. I honestly can't think of two teams in world football that I would want to see more than those two, except for Udinese. lol

Right in the middle of their hectic May schedule.

Nice.

I am not big on friendlies. BUT I would have to watch this. FORZA MILAN. Roma would also be nice, Roma is rumoured to be very aggresive on the martket in the summer.

That's what I was thinking.

Hopefully that helps us.

EDIT: These friendlies are after the NCC.

I would love it if Roma came to Toronto.

Well one of their friendlies is 4 days before they play Vancouver at Swangard in the NCC.
So depending on how the competition is going, it could help or hurt us. If Vancouver is out of it and Montreal needs a win in a race against us, then it's good :)

They actually play Vancouver on May 26 in the NCC.

That might be bad for us, actually.

......Fiorentina May 22, AC Milan June 2.

...but don't forget that neither team will have any World Cup players in their squads at that time. No doubt what's left is still pretty impressive - and that effects Fiorentina less than Milan - but I'd rather see a big club pre-season or not at all than see them this summer with less than half of their squads.

Fiorentina, then, will still have Stevan Jovetic, Adrian Mutu, Juan Manuel Vargas, Sebastian Frey, and loads of other great players. That's enough for me. :D

I would love to see them here, assuming Mutu can get into the country....

If Snoop Dog has trouble, them I am sure Adrian Mutu will as well.

The Fiorentina game is the 23rd, not the 22nd. I may try and go to that game since we play on Saturday.

Man we like to complain... We complain when we get Real Madrid and now we complain that we don't get Fiorentina and AC Milan. These games are going to be played during a busy stretch and at the Big Uh-Oh.

I can only imaging the bitching that would have gone on if TFC front office announce 2 friendlies in the middle of a busy patch and at Skydome...

To be completely honest, I wasn't so fussed about Real Madrid. The only reason I'd have gone would have been to see Kaka, and in any case, I'm pretty sure he didn't even move to Real until the tickets were already all sold...

Now if it had been Barcelona, that would have been a completely different story. ;)

Oh sorry... I posted this info in Canadian Soccer area and the AC Milan thread in International thread area.

Didn't see what it had to do with TFC or MLS for that matter.

Ronaldinho isn't a World Cup player...

Well, when you've already had Real Madrid at your stadium, you can't really take a step down to AC Milan ;)

Montreal has the advantage that they can rent the Big O for a lot less than we can get Rogers Centre. Supply and demand ... oh, and being the same landlord as Saputo Stadium doesn't hurt ...

Off hand I can't remember a single sporting event at the Big O since the Impact game there over a year ago.

Ticket prices will range between $20 and $100 (plus taxes). First category ticket holders ($100) will get privileged access to attend the AC Milan training session, June 1, at Saputo Stadium.

(Take note TFC front office....valued ticket pricing.)

How many Fiorentina and AC Milan players will be at the World Cup. This will be their second team going there, but congrats to Montreal on getting to quality teams.

Better teams AND better prices than we have ever seen.

I question why I give TFC my money more and more every day.

wait, i thought TFC fans complained last year about having friendlies?

i personally don't care. Enough with the friendlies bullshit and focus on the league, I say.

I didn't go to Real Madrid last year and don't feel I missed something because I didn't go.

That's not what this discussion is about. 1 friendly is going to happen this year, we all know that. It's part of the season tickets. So, who would you rather see considering you've already payed for a ticket? Pachuca or AC Milan?

I wonder if Fiorentina and Milan will play eachother in Toronto in between the Montreal games.

You mean the AC Milan that beat Real Madrid in their own stadium?


The only thing that agree with you, and I a mot sure you realy agree with this, is that I am realy not big in-season friendlies.

By the sounds of it, and I may be wrong, it looks like this friendly isn't included in the Impact season ticket package. So this would be more comparable to our friendly with Real Madrid last season.

The French Champions Trophy (Ligue 1 winner vs French Cup winner) was there in July.

There is no way I'm not going to see La Viola.

NOt to be rude but sorry but you did, I've never seen speed and skill as I saw on the field that day. They were trying very hard to get used to each other very quickly......I doubt in my lifetime I will see such talent on one side of the field at least again.....where they played there best for most of the match

I kinda like what Chicago is doing, inviting a number of teams from cities with a historical/cultural relationship to Chicago for a little tourney, rather than one big name club.
