Toronto FC to host Bolton

This is the big news today. Big deal. I'm getting very tired of friendly games that mean absolutely nothing in the middle of the season. 
 
Toronto FC to host Bolton of England's Premier League in Carlsberg Cup
TORONTO — Toronto FC will host English Premier League club Bolton Wanderers on July 21 in Toronto's annual Carlsberg Cup.
Bolton boasts the highest number of seasons in England's top flight, this past season being No. 71.
The Wanderers, which finished 14th in the Premiership this past season, will announce their roster for the friendly at a later date.
Toronto hosted River Plate of Argentina last season, which the visitors won 4-3 on penalties.
The Philadelphia Union, meanwhile, will host Scotland's Glasgow Celtic at PPL Park on July 14 in place of an exhibition against Spain's Valencia that had been announced in March.
Union president Tom Veit said Tuesday that Valencia and its promoter "backed out of the agreement that was reached with the Union and other MLS teams."
