Chelsea vs. AC Milan in Miami! July 28!

Circle July 28 on your calendar. Chelsea and AC Milan are coming to Sun Life Stadium as part of the World Football Challenge.

Last summer's Barcelona vs. Chivas match was such a huge success (71,000 fans) that big-time international soccer is coming back.

Tickets start at $29 and go on sale THIS Thursday, May 10, through Ticketmaster. Kickoff for the match is 6 p.m.

“Miami is a soccer hotbed,” said Mike Dee, CEO of the Miami Dolphins. “This announcement continues the tradition of bringing world-class events to our facility.”

Chelsea has never played here. AC Milan last played here against the Colombian national team in 1994 in front of 57,000 fans.

 

 

 

 

Battle to Avoid the Drop!

Happy Monday.

Well, happy if you're a ManCity fan. The sky blues remain atop ManU after beating Newcastle 2-0 on Sunday, so if they win their final match, they will be EPL champions for the first time since 1968. Newcastle, meanwhile, remains in fifth place behind Tottenham, one spot shy of a Champions League berth.

The big match today is Wigan vs. Blackburn (3 p.m., ESPN Deportes). Resurgent Wigan is in 17th place with 37 points, Blackburn in 19th place with 31. Blackburn is desperate to avoid relegation. Wigan hopes to build up its cushion with some points today.

Right now, bottom of table looks like this:

Queens Park Rangers 37

Wigan 37

Bolton 35

Blackburn 31

Wolverhampton 25
