www.thechicagotrophy.com I got my tickets for the second day. Woo hoo. I am in the center on the sidelines, four rows up. I hope they are good seats.

Any thoughts from the soccer/football crowd?

Should be some good soccer. All are first division clubs in their respective countries.

Sevilla is by far the cream of the crop. They won the UEFA Cup the last two seasons as well as the Copa del Ray last season. I am envious.

And my mother in law, who is from Reggio, is buying the tickets. Woo hoo.

looks good fella - enjoy :thumbup:

Sevilla are a class act at the moment and Reggina are not bad either (just sold Bianchi to Man City for 9 million though). to be fair i dont know a great deal about the other two.

looks like a nice price and you should see some decent football there mate. How many tickets have been sold so far - it would nice to get a decent crowd for the games.

I almost got tickets for both days but I thought that might be too much football.

I bet that would be fun to see. I expect you'll see a higher quality than you saw from the Fire.

I was probably too critical of the Fire, but I hope this soccer/football is better.

Expected gametime temperature (before I jinxed it with this post) 82 degrees. Plus I think my seats are in the shade. :)

Saw Toluca v. Reggina, and then second game was Wilsa Krakow v. Sevilla. Toluca beat Reggina 2-0 as Reggina didn't really look into it.

We sat in a very lound Krakow section. Chanting and singing and not really minding us wanting Sevilla to win.
