If it feels like there aren't that many marquee games this weekend, it could be because of the international fixture date at mid-week. With World Cup qualifiers and high-profile friendlies filling out an impressive schedule during the week, it looks as though leagues throughout Europe scheduled fewer of the top match-ups you circle the calendar for.
That doesn't mean there aren't good story lines and rivalries today. David Beckham takes the field with AC Milan for the first time since his public declaration that he wants to stay in Italy rather than return to MLS. You also have Peter Crouch leading Portsmouth against his old club Liverpool, as well as a good La Liga tilt between Real Madrid and Racing Santander.
The most anticipated match of the day isn't one you will find on TV when Jozy Altidore should make his debut for Xerez against Albacete. The game isn't scheduled for TV, but the internet tends to provide feeds for matches throughout the world so look for that one and please feel free to share any feeds below.
The full schedule of today's soccer on TV is after the jump. If you will be watching today's soccer action on TV, please feel free to share your thoughts, opinions and some play-by-play in the comments section below.

ah…benitez…the wheels are coming off…
crap missed what happened to lead to that placement of the ball.
Idirect free kick for Liverpool in the box, as James handled a backpass from Crouch.
Goal Liverpool!!!
Alonso for Dossena in the 67th minute. Just what Liverpool need to grab a couple of goals.
why wouldn’t Jozy travel? Is it bc he’s coming next week?

Jozy went to Sevilla for site seeing
That could have been Jozy instead of Jo on Loan with Everton.
And then Nugent scores an offside goal that is allowed is not disallowed, wow, Rafa must bring in Torres…
David Nugent got played in on the left behind the defense, and he finished cooly.
Hmmmmmm babel. Cannot believe he missed that.
Yeah like you said we had a lot of possession but we really did nothing with it. Wanted more from babel n ngog. Yossi just gets better with minutes played.
Huh. That sucks. Bet keane is smiling.
62nd minute- Goal Portsmouth!!!
2nd half sub Kuyt just played in a perfect ball from the right and Babel was right there to tap it in but the ball rolled right past him.
It was a bad miss, though he may have been shocked that Kuyt didn’t shank the cross 20 rows into the stands.
My god, Babel just missed the epitome of a sitter, shocking…
Really Krista? I thought we had some promising moments in the first half, though ultimately the usual problem of having a ton of possession, but creating few clear opportunities emerged, Benayoun looks the most likely to provide a goal, hopefully Torres will get on at some point.
I knew Jo would score more goals now that he’s at Everton.
why wouldn’t Jozy travel? Is it bc he’s coming next week?
JOZY DID NOT TRAVEL WITH THE TEAM !
wasn’t impressed with no one on the pool side. Hopefully the second will be better.
Does anyone have any updates on whether Donovan’s expected to start on Sunday.
No Adu on the bench either
too bad not Jozy this weekend… no Jozy for Mex either? maybe as a sub?
Despite the wild line-up Liverpool looks far more fluid and quick than they have the last month, hopefully it actually leads to a goal…Aurellio looks decent centrally (especially when compared to fellow Brazilian Lucas)…
It’s weird not having Gerrard or Alonso on the pitch.
Rafa is resting Riera, Alonso, Kuyt, and Torres (plus Gerrard out injured) against Portsmouth.
Is David James (Portsmouth) still England’s number 1 at GK?
Jozy def not starting.

This site is golden now that myp2p.eu is missing a lot of the coverage. Enjoy
Nice game Villa, now go pompey and help them out
Fulham nil Wigan nil, no shots by Dempsey either.
chelsea laid another egg today. villa’s now ahead of them. holy crap!
this isn’t epl right now but… http://www.justin.tv/rambo_es?
I can’t find any
its always dangerous wading through the links for matches, I always land on tons of spam.
myp2p.euaren’t giving any more links to EPL matches. boo! anyoe know of another site for epl matches? for sopcast or tvu, etc.?
Looks like Dempsey has had an aggressive game.
bah, I’ll take what I can get. Thanx
I know rough football teams, I am a Fulham fan and last year was ridic, but Glad’bach ARE ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!!!! Jump ship Mikey.

Not video though
My Stuttgart just beat up on Bayer Leverkusen!
Adam, where is the link for your ESPN match tracker?
bah, I wish I could watch. Got spoiled when 2 weeks FSC had like 3 games on it for Fulham.
ANYONE GOT A LINK FOR FULHAM V WIGAN????
Darn…Gladbach gave up the equalizer in the 89th.
Jozy and the other new signing, Abel Gomez, were not brought to Albacete for today’s game. The coach said they had not had enough time to fit into the team.
anyone know where to watch the jozy game,,,,i mean xerez
So why the late announcement on the squad? Does Bob Bradley have to see something from someone this weekend?
Szetela starting on bench, last week he played 90…whatever.
The most anticipated match of the day isn’t one you will find on TV when Jozy Altidore should make his debut for Xerez against Albacete.
Altidore will be watching the match from his hotel.
Bradley got a second consecutive start Monchengladbach, they are currently 1-0 up in the 51st against league leaders Hoffenheim.
Xerez plays at 12:30est Jacob…
Ives, what do you think are the chances that the US team actually wears red next week? I feel like with all this build up, they may be hiding something. It would be amazing if they wore normal warmups, and then pulled them off just before kickoff to reveal brand new red kits. They do that kind of thing in College football sometimes.
Deuce got a yellow for what ESPN Gamecast labeled a “bad foul.”
What time does Jozy play?
