Boca vs. Celtic at CBS!

According to the Celtic web site:
Sexy football will be the order of the day as Martin O'Neill's side have announced they will take on Maradona's old club and South American Champions Boca Juniors in the States on 25th July.

...

However, the Hoops will now take on Boca Juniors in the Cleveland Brown Stadium and all tickets sold for the game against AC Milan will be valid for the match against the South Americans, and the game will also stick to the original kick-off time.

Great news!!! Here's is more on this. Boca is Argentina's most popular club and just won the South American Libertadores Cup. They do not quite have the international profile that AC Milan has, but the quality of the team is similar and this is a much better replacement than I had expected. The city should be pretty happy to have an event like this. Hopefully the scheduling fiasco with AC Milan and suqsequent ticket-sale suspension won't hurt attendance too much.
