Since Juventus is in this cup, I am interested to know whether or not Ronaldo will take part in the games, mostly he'll take part in the later games.

Its going to be fun watching these teams play against one another, especially with the hot transfers and changes. It may not be as serious as CL but it can still be interesting.

Yeah I am curious to know if Ronaldo is going to play for Juventus in this cup.

I read somewhere that he's not going to play against RM. I can't remember the link to the article but it said that C.Ronaldo will start training with Juventus on the 30th this month, and the match vs Real Madrid is 5 days later so he won't have enough time to prepare for this match. I think this (longer vacations and late arrival to trainings) applies to all the players involved in the World Cup knockout stages, like Matuidi and Mandzukic in Juventus, could be the same in other clubs.

About the tournament, I'm looking forward to it. It's probably the most interesing pre-season tournament in the world, though I don't like it when the teams start making 11 substitutions or more in the 2nd half of the games. And I feel like this tournament should be an official tournament, just imagine a super league with Europe's best teams Cheesy

Anyways, we have the first match next Friday: Man City vs Dortmund. Maybe we'll see Mahrez playing a few minutes.

Agreed, i want to see how is Christiano Ronaldo play in the first time with juventus on International Champions Cup. This is like pra-season though, the result can be bad but i'm sure public want to see CR7 make a goal on his debut match with juvenus.

Yeah I am curious to know if Ronaldo is going to play for Juventus in this cup. It would be the perfect time for Juventus to show their newly signed superstar. But I think Ronaldo will be probably vacationing and won't be included in the squad, because after the strenuous La Liga season, the record-breaking Champions League win and playing in the World Cup he needs a lot of rest in order to be able to give his 100% for Juventus in Serie A next season. What's more, Real Madrid are playing against Juventus on Sunday August 5th in Washington so if Ronaldo is going to show up at least once it's definitely going to be in this one against his former team Grin

This looks like a gambler paradise but just a word of caution most of them would be fielding their B teams as their World Cup stars won't be featured so I would be wary of playing big bets on these games as many would be first time making to the team, I'll not really play unless there is a very strong team but am glad soccer is back missing it already since fifa ended.

Yeah, with the world cup just ended and the domestic seasons starting again soon, many managers will be resting their star players for some or even all of the games.

Lots of new transfers who will be keen for the practice with their new squads though.

Yeah, it's only friendlies, but still fun to watch some of the biggest teams compete. Lots of teams have had very good seasons, but I would take a punt on Man City as outright winners given there 100 point domestic season.

Wonder if the World Cup rivalries will have died down - like Kompany absolutely annihilating Jesus with a tackle.
