If you have any aspirations of watching the best of the best of the best this summer, keep your peepers peeled for the World Football Challenge in the US. Italian superpower Juventus have confirmed their participation in this summer's Herbalife World Football Championship, which will take place all over the states, so there is something for everyone in all four corners of the country. European champions league winner Barcelona, runner-up Manchester United, city rivals Manchester City, Mexican giants Club America and Jose Mourinhos Real Madrid will all be available to watch at some stage over the term between July 13 and August 6. The chance of playing in the US has once again provided too much of a lure for the giant European sides, and although it's not a trophy the teams are playing for, pride will be at stake. With MLS sides LA Galaxy, NE Revolution, Vancouver Whitecaps, Chicago Fire and Philadephia Union all participating at some stage, there will be plenty of support for the home towns' teams, and it will give supporters the chance to see some of the best players in the world when these teams come visiting.
