European All Star Game...in NY

New York in June....sounds like a good time to be making a trip to the Big Apple as the following roster of European All Stars are scheduled to come to NYC and play a charity game (June 14th to be exact). Anyone interested in a road trip? via NYT

"The European contingent, in addition to Silvestre, will include Thierry Henry (France/Barcelona), Didier Drogba (Ivory Coast/Chelsea), Wayne Rooney (England/Manchester United), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal/Manchester United), Nicolas Anelka (France/Chelsea), Emmanuel Adebayor (Togo/Arsenal), Manuel Almunia (Spain/Arsenal), Frank Lampard (England/Chelsea), Ryan Giggs (Wales/Manchester United) and others. Silvestre said he hopes to enlist Arsenal Coach Arsene Wenger as the all-star’s manager and perhaps entice Pierluigi Collina out of retirement to work the game as the referee."

I remember being a kid and having my father point out Pierluigi as he refereed games in the Serie A on TV. How cool would it be if he did the game?!?!
