Pre-Season Friendlies 2010/11

Red Bull NY 1 - Spurs 2

That big twat-faced, arse headed Frenchie scored, which is just typical. But the right team won in the end!!!

Apparently Bale looked better than what the love child from a threesome of Pele, Maradona and Ginola would play like.

Boom Boom Boom, let me hear you say Baaaaaaaale......BALE!

UNITED KIDS WILL LEARN FROM DEFEAT

By Ken Gaunt, Press Association Sport, Kansas City

Ryan Giggs believes Manchester United's bright young things will learn lessons after they suffered their first defeat on tour.
Kansas City Wizards, fifth in Major Soccer League's Eastern Conference, were today still savouring a surprise victory over Sir Alex Ferguson's side.
Kei Kamara scored the winner in front of 52,424 fans at the Arrowhead Stadium - a record soccer attendance in mid-America.

Dimitar Berbatov pulled United level only a minute earlier from the penalty spot after Davvy Arnaud had opened the scoring in the 11th minute.
Despite Jimmy Conrad being sent off for his challenge on the Bulgarian, the Wizards stayed resilient and achieved a notable victory.
It was United's first defeat on the tour after they had beaten both Celtic and Philadelphia Union.
Apart from Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Dimitar Berbatov and the fit-again Nani, United manager Ferguson fielded an inexperienced team - and it showed at times.

New York Red Bulls 2 Man City 1
Manchester City suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of New York Red Bulls on Sunday night at the Red Bull Arena.
Roberto Mancini's side fielded a youthful look, but the likes of Joe Hart, Wayne Bridge, Stephen Ireland and Emmanuel Adebayor all started against a side rejuvenated by the arrival of former Arsenal star Thierry Henry.

Henry started for the hosts but was unable to find the net, however that mattered little as his team earned a deserved victory.
City had the first opening of the match when Jo smacked a shot straight at in-form Bulls keeper Bouna Coundoul from close range, and the Brazilian paid the price for his miss as his team fell behind moments later.
Bridge was undone down the City left by the pace of Dane Richards, whose driven cross allowed Macoumba Kandji to slide the ball past Hart from a few yards out.

Adebayor looked to level the match when he tested Coundoul with a stinging drive, but the keeper was equal to the shot and pulled off a smart save.
Jo atoned for his earlier miss by netting the equaliser on 55 minutes after good work from substitute Greg Cunningham allowed the striker an easy tap-in.
But the Americans claimed victory when Richards went from provider to scorer when he smashed home a stunning 25-yard drive that cannoned in off the crossbar.

City finish bottom of the Challenge group after suffering defeat to Sporting Lisbon earlier in the tournament, which also included Premier League rivals Tottenham.

Tottenham 2 Sporting Lisbon 2
Robbie Keane scored one and set up another as Tottenham completed their pre-season tour of the United States with a 2-2 draw against Sporting Lisbon at Red Bull Arena.

The Republic of Ireland record goalscorer, linked with a move away from Spurs this summer after spending the second half of last season on loan at Celtic, opened the scoring with a fine finish in the 23rd minute.
He latched onto Niko Kranjcar's through-ball and slotted into the bottom-left corner to give manager Harry Redknapp food for thought.

The lead lasted for only two minutes, however, before Chile international Matias Fernandez headed home the equaliser.
Jaime Valdes made it 2-1 to the Portuguese side three minutes into the second half by firing past David Button, who had replaced Carlo Cudicini at the break.
Substitute Jonathan Obika squeezed a shot past goalkeeper Rui Patricio in the 70th minute from Keane's pass to get the north London outfit back on level terms, but neither team could force a winner in the remaining 20 minutes.
