    Seems to me we ought to have a thread to cover the tour and games that begin next Wed in Seattle.

    I haven't been able to find a list of players that have gone on tour. Has anyone else heard who travelled?

    We've got 4 guys playing in the Olympic competition, so it looks like poor old Juan Mata wont be getting a break this summer (if you could call it that).

    I hope we get to see more of Piazon too. Lad is quality on and off the pitch.

    Perhaps this is why we are reportedly going for Maicon? 1-2 years 'til TK is ready?

    one thing that is noticeable about the squad is the lack of experience upfront. I know Torres and Sturridge are not there but take them away and we sure look a bit light. Lukaku and Bamford!!!!!
    I wonder if we'll see Hazard leading the line during the tour.Almost will have to.

    Lukaku scores in the second minute, McEachran did well to win a tackle and play a nice ball through and Lukaku outmuscles the defender and finishes nicely.

    Hazard scored a deflected finish after a neat little dribble, but a poor McEachran pass went straight to Montero who scored. 2-1.

    Marin scores another deflected goal, looked lively on the left wing.

    Lukaku! 4-2!

    Marin with the pass put Lukaku through on goal. Lukaku's second touch was poor, but he got there just before the keeper to tuck it in his near post.
