Louis Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Although it's just a rumour at this stage, their website published that Everton are playing Juventus in San Francisco this July, but the post has since been removed. http://megustaelfutbol.tumblr.com/post/50020565290/from-the-international-champions-cup-facebook-page Facebook posters are saying that Everton were there: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Guinness-International-Champions-Cup/613585068668658 The official website: http://www.internationalchampionscup.com Quinn31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamryanstover Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I saw one of the locations is in Indy. If Everton are there Ill go even if it is about 4 hours away. If this is true I wonder if the South Africa trip is still on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 24th July vs. Ajax Cape Town That leaves three days minimum to go to USA, it's possible I guess. Though It probably depends on who offers the club the most money. Also, look at the html source of the official website. The keywords for the site are: A.C. Milan, Chelsea, Galaxy, Inter, Juventus, Real Madrid, Benfica, Everton Looks to be a good pre-season! http://i.imgur.com/OAxX4Yd.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubecula Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 They will probably split the squad up to get both visits in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 It's good we'll be playing decent opposition for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 That is one tasty looking line of opponents this summer if true. Will make a nice change from the usual banal pre-season fixtures such as Rotherham or Hereford etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 A few other places have picked up on the website source now, I suspect a statement will be made this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn31 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hope they play a match in Indianapolis. I'd be tempted to make the 8 hour drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Its hard to look past the site keywords. If they were negotiating with Everton and others, all of the clubs would feature in the tags. I'd say this is 95% a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thoward18 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'll be pissed if they don't visit the East Coast. Hell, there is no reason they shouldn't be coming to Red Bull Arena in NY. Tim Howard grew up here and started out with our team. Tim Cahill is with RBNY. It's almost too perfect. And they're going to play in fucking San Francisco and Indianapolis?

Toffee_in_LA Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Miami is roughly a 14 hour drive from my university. But if I get to see my two favorite soccer teams in the world compete during the finals (I'm also a Galaxy fan in case you didn't know), then it'll be a drive well worth making. This would also be the first time I get to see Everton live and in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Miami is roughly a 14 hour drive from my university. Its hard to imagine that. I could drive to Italy in that time. (if I used the Autoban in the correct way) Quinn31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee_in_LA Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Its hard to imagine that. I could drive to Italy in that time. (if I used the Autoban in the correct way) I could fly as well, but I've helped my parents drive 24-30 hours before multiple times, so that shouldn't really faze me.

Peter H Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) I could fly as well, but I've helped my parents drive 24-30 hours before multiple times, so that shouldn't really faze me.I can drive for 14 hours to, that wasnt my point, my point was, if I drive for 14 hours in the same direction, I would drive through 5-6 countries. Its hard to imagine living in such a massive country like the US. Btw, always wondered. Do they have Toffee in LA? Thought LA was more of a tofu place.

Ah I see, sorry about the misunderstanding. 14 hours wouldn't even get you half way across the US, which is crazy to me as well. And yes while there are a lot of tofu spots in LA (I'm not a fan), I have been able to buy toffee from select places (quite rare though).
