Watch Liaoning Hongyun vs Birmingham City Club Friendly Live Streaming

By Michael Lewis - NEW YORK, NY (Jul 23rd, 2010) US Soccer Players -- It's that time of the year again, soccer fans. The magical months when our great soccer land is taken over by the British/Euro Invasion, also known as the touring club schedule. International friendlies are coming out of the wazoo. Manchester United. Manchester City. Tottenham. Inter Milan. Real Madrid. Rangers. Celtic. Sporting Clube. Portsmouth. And on and on it goes.When AC Milan came over in May, the Italian Serie A side was missing its World Cup players. Ditto for many of the clubs competing now, with their World Cup players given time off. And because these are pre-season matches (think early March in baseball), there is mass substitution in the second half to give all players an opportunity to get match fit and the younger ones a chance to prove themselves.
