Correct me if I am wrong please, however I do think Samsung is the official sponsor of Chelsea FC? Did something change?
Chelsea fans "think" they are the Yankees of soccer. So does Liverpool amongst others, but Man U is. Sorry for the let down.

Yankees of soccer = AC Milan.
I would really like to see DIsney get involved with an MLS Expansion 2009 team. However, they have to be careful because of what happened to the other Florida teams, Miami Fusion and TB Mutiny.
Or could it be that after the wand comes down that SSE will be painted to look like a football (soccer ball)?![]()
I thought Man UTD was the NYY of Football. Personally, as far as the Premiership goes, I'm an Arsenal fan :lookarounFrom the AP:
Chelsea is like the "Yankees" of the soccer world, so I think this is an interesting concept. I'd love to see Wide World of Sports get more pro-sports involvement, and though less than popular in America, soccer is the world's most popular sport.
Another interesting connection: Chelsea's main sponsor: Siemens.

Y'know what... I'd buy a Chelsea shirt if it had WDW as the sponsor on it :lol:
I'd never wear it, but I'd buy it!

Although I'm a Tottenham fan, the deal will be good for Disney and soccer here but to comment on the original poster's assessment that soccer is "less than popular" in the US, I guess it depends on who you ask.
Did you know that in the US (according to the latest compiled data at CNN.com looking at youth sports for ages 9-14) 260,000 kids play american football, 2.2 milion play little league baseball, 2.8 million play organized league basketball, and 17.5 million play organized league soccer. That is a lot of fans for the future.
I lived in Brazil for 2 years including their last WC win (2002) and it has been a long long time since a british team won the world club title. It was barcelona and Ac Milan (I believe) and internationale (italy I think also)recently that have beent the powerhouses. Though chelsea does have a very very big payroll. If you don't have a good brazilian you can't win. British soccer is good just not the best. Real Madrid has players on the bench that start on their national team, if anyone is the yanks it is Real Madrid (though figo sucks!!)
