Chelsea vs. Manchester City and Spain vs. Ireland
http://gothamist.com/2013/04/08/soccer_returns_to_yankee_stadium_ch.php
>>First on the schedule is the Battle of the Blues: Chelsea vs. Manchester City, scheduled for May 25th, all of one week after the end of the Premier League. The teams currently sit in 2nd (MCFC) and 3rd (Chelsea) place in England and feature the likes of Fernando Torres, Frank Lampard, Sergio Aguero, and Joe Hart. Whether or not Rafa "Interim" Benitez or Roberto Mancini will remain as managers for the tour may depend on the next month of play.
The second match up is more international, with Spain taking on Ireland on June 11th. Spain's credentials are unmatched in world soccer: ranked #1 in the world, holding the current World Cup title and the last two European championships. Ireland haven't had as much luck lately, with a weak showing at Euro 2012 and narrowly missing out on qualifying for the last World Cup.<<
