I wrote earlier that the Real Madrid v LA Galaxy game replaces the Galaxy v Inter Milan game for that same day. But it did not take Inter Milan long to find another opponent for its North American tour announcing that they will play Panathinaikos at the Rogers Centre in Toronto on Tuesday August 3rd, 2010 at 8:00 PM. Buy Inter Milan v Panathinaikos Tickets

The game is being billed as at Clash of Champions as Inter are the 2010 Champions League, Scudetto and Coppa Italia winners while Panathinaikos won the 2010 Greek Super League and Greek Cup.

Inter Milan is one of the most storied franchises in Italy. In 2010, they completed an elusive Treble, winning the 2010 Champions League, Scudetto and Coppa Italia titles. This past season marked Inter Milan’s fifth consecutive Serie A title, giving the team a total of 18 Serie A championship wins under its belt. An internationally recognized soccer powerhouse, Inter is also the winner of 28 Coppa Italia events as well as 3 Champions League titles.

One of the oldest clubs in Greek soccer history, Panathinaikos is a storied franchise with an international following. Home to some of soccer’s most identifiable players, Panathinaikos FC has won 20 Greek Super League titles and 17 Greek Cups, including Greek Super League and Greek Cup wins this past season. This team is a force with which to be reckoned. Buy Inter Milan v Panathinaikos Tickets

May will be a great month for soccer fans in the windy city. Last week we announced that Chicago will host the Sister Cities International Cup involving the Chicago Fire Welcome Legia Warsaw, Paris Saint-Germain and Red Star Belgrade.

Noe we hear that the Fire will host host Italian giants AC Milan on Sunday, May 30. The match will be the second between the two clubs. Milan won the first meeting, defeating the Fire 3-1 at Soldier Field in 2005.

“As one of the world’s most storied clubs, A.C. Milan will guarantee an exciting, passionate match for fans of the Fire and the world’s game in their own backyard at Toyota Park,” Fire President Dave Greeley said in a release. “It allows us to showcase Chicago as the world-class city it is and our supporters as the best in MLS.”

AC Milan officials said they are committed to fielding all of their star players who are not participating in World Cup duties, meaning such global stars as Ronaldinho, Clarence Seedorf, and Filippo Inzaghi could be in the Rossoneri side. Buy Chicago Fire v AC Milan Tickets

Juventus got the break they so dearly needed when they beat Parma 2-1 at the Stadio Ennio Tardini yesterday. However, don’t let the score line fool you. The Bianconeri needed an own goal to help them bag all the 3 points.

Juve were first on the score sheet when Hasan Salhimidzic headed the visitors ahead in the 3rd minute. The hosts responded in the 25th minute when Nicola Amoruso a former Juve man equalised.

This was Juve’s second win in seven league games and it shows just how bad their form has dipped since the beginning of the season. A39 minute own goal from Paolo Castellini saved Ciro Ferrara the blushes and it will at least help to deflect the negative attention he has been receiving lately. The matches don’t get any easier because just two weeks away on the 24th of this month, Juventus host Milan at the Stadio Olimpico.

This fire-cracker of a match will decide who among these two teams will give league leaders Inter a run for their money. Juventus may have gotten the result but if the statistics are anything to go by then Parma were far more effective. The hosts had more shots 13 compared to Juve’s 9. They had 57% of the possession compared to Juve’s 43% and they had twice as many corners as the visitors.

Ferrara should know that this is not a result he can pin his hopes on. The club have already made their intentions clear by actively pursuing his replacement. If Juve decide to finish the season with Ferrara still at the helm then you can be sure that they won’t be anywhere near the top four. Juve should put their fans out of their misery and show Ferrara the door. That to me is the best way to contain this problem from further deterioration.

Inter Milan’s new striker Samuel Eto’o will get his first taste of a Milan derby on only the second weekend of the Serie A season.

The Italian league announced the fixtures on Wednesday with champions Inter facing AC Milan on 29th or 30th August after beginning their campaign against newly-promoted Bari.

Cameroon international Eto’o joined Milan this week in a swap deal involving Zlatan Ibrahimovic going to Barcelona.

Juventus, runners-up last season, will visit Roma on the second weekend of the new season.

Matches on the first two weekends will all be played in the evenings, with a decision due shortly on the exact dates for games in the early part of the campaign.

Another standout fixture will be Juventus travelling to Milan, who finished a stuttering third last term, on the final day of the season on 16th May.

Juventus versus Inter and the Rome derby between Roma and Lazio will take place on 5th or 6th December, with the return fixtures on 17th or 18th April.
