This summer, Chelsea FC will be traveling around the United States to play in a series of high-profile friendlies as part of the World Football Challenge. John Terry, Frank Lampard, Michael Ballack, Didier Drogba, Michael Essien and the crew — along with new manager Carlo Ancelotti — will be playing games on both coasts as well as in the heart of Texas in front of massive crowds (the game against Seattle Sounders has already sold more than 60,000 tickets).
