Plenty of Road Trips Ahead

BOSTON (AP) -- Liverpool will play Tottenham in a preseason exhibition on July 28 at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

Earlier in the week, Liverpool announced a July 25 game against Roma at Boston's Fenway Park.

Liverpool is owned by Fenway Sports Group, parent company of the Boston Red Sox, and one of Fenway's limited partners is an owner of Roma.

Tottenham's U.S. tour includes games at the Los Angeles Galaxy on July 24 and the New York Red Bulls on July 31. Chelsea and Aston Villa also have preseason U.S. tours.

On The Next Sent Off  Podcast...

Fox Soccer’s Nick Webster (Twitter Feed) co hosts this special episode of Sent Off.

The U.S. has failed to qualify for the Olympics and Wynalda is pissed. Who is to blame? Eric and “Jersey” think the fault lies completely with current President of the U.S. Soccer Federation Sunil Gulati. Caleb Porter is not at fault because he was over his head.

Also, Champions League recap and predictions. Chelsea, Madrid, and Bayern can’t be stopped. Milan Barcelona match is the only real game. Will/can Barca lose to Ibra and his Red and Blacks?

So the Italian media claims La Nazionale has attacking problems with Antonio Cassano and Giuseppe Rossi out to injury. What is wrong with these two well-experienced, all-Italian gems? Three weeks ago Di Vaio scorched Roma’s best defender, Juan, and this week made Inter’s Andrea Ranocchia look like Hamburger Helper, while Miccoli bagged a hat-trick against Inter in a mid-week goalfest. Ok, maybe they shouldn’t play alongside each other against Spain, but they should definitely have a go against Croatia and Ireland. One of these attackers, paired with a certain two-time and on his way to his third straight Capocannoniere title, Mr Toto DiNatale, should fare just well in Poland/ Ukraine. Who is with me?

Tell us about your club Rome, NY. When was it born and why?


We always said we had to organize a club that could be unique to New York to watch the games, organize events and even to go to Rome and put the banner at the Olimpico.

In 2008, we made the decision to form on May 15 with 15 charter members and present at the dinner that Joe Tacopina. Joe was about to enter the enterprise sponsored by George Soros. It was almost touching to talk about the magic and memories of the old photos of the OlympicStadium especially its heroes: Agostino, Bruno Conti, Falcao and of course, Rocca, Ginulfi and Roberto Pruzzo.
