This was far and away most fabulous club soccer tournament

in the last couple years around here. But the local press accorded

than a training excercise," sniffed the New York Times. "Little

more than a scrimmage," agreed the Post. Indeed; but what

an enjoyable training excerise, and what a star-studded scrimmage!

Above: the lads from Ajax, on their first team trip to the United States,

warm up under the less-than-watchful eye of ESPN International.
