Chelsea to Play MLS All-Stars at PPL Park

Cheerio!

Let me tell you about an unfortunate scenario for my friend Dan, who is a huge Chelsea nut. He moved to London for work this year (with an added perk being that he can watch his team in-person), and will return to visit Philadelphia in mid-July, narrowly missing his favorite team when they play against the MLS All-Stars in (near) Philadelphia.

Poor guy. All those miles when he could have just driven to Chester in July.

Anyway, that’s just a long, anecdotal way of telling you that – as first surmised here – Chelsea will play the MLS All-Stars at PPL Park on July 25. Peter Nowak will coach the MLS team, which means you can expect him to get into tiffs with his best players and trot out a bunch of B-listers for the match).

Cue soccer hating comments!
