Obviously, [Premier League] groups are accustomed to coming [to the USA] anyway. Some clubs are going to be visiting [the States] right after the summer season ends, and last year four to five clubs were here. aI is able to see [a Premier League match happening] in the not too distant future. Who knows, perhaps in the word of this broadcasting deal, what would be described as a Barclays America Trophy.a The Barclays Asia Trophy is a summer tournament held every couple of years. This summer, the tournament is going to be held in Hong Kong, whilst the opposition has been held in China, Thailand and Malaysia in prior years.
