Re: Summer World Football Challenge 2011
Barça, Man U In WFC
European powers joined by New England, Chicago
NEW YORK — One big name deserves another. A day after Major League Soccer announced that Manchester United will take on the MLS All-Stars, the league and CAA Sports jointly announced that United and fellow European giants FC Barcelona will participate in this summer's World Football Challenge.
Manchester United and Barcelona are only the first of the big-name clubs expected to confirm their participation in the multi-team tournament taking place in stadiums across the US and Canada this summer.
This year, the WFC also includes, for the first time, MLS teams. The New England Revolution will host EPL table-toppers Manchester United at Gillette Stadium on July 13. The Red Devils will then take on the Chicago Fire at Soldier Field on July 23.
Manchester United and Barcelona—who locked horns in the 2009 UEFA Champions League final (right)—will then meet each other at FedExField outside Washington, D.C., on July 30.

Re: Summer World Football Challenge 2011
I'm excited for this event, it just keeps getting better and better. How many teams are expected to make up the field? Also, what kind of format will they play, i.e. round robin with different classes like the World Cup, or will it be a single-elimination tournament
