Domestic cup games overseas resume on Wednesday, with a few United States men's national team players potentially seeing the pitch.
Eric Lichaj is starting but Brad Guzan has surprisingly given way to Brad Friedel for Aston Villa's Carling Cup match against Burnley. Elsewhere in the UK, Maurice Edu's Rangers will face Kilmarnock in the Scottish Cup. Both of those games kick off at 2:45 p.m.
In Spain, Jozy Altidore's Villarreal takes on Club Polideportivo Ejido in the first leg of their Copa del Rey tie (3 p.m.), and in Germany, Michael Bradley's Borussia Monchengladbach meets Bayer Leverkusen in a DFB Pokal second-round match (2:30 p.m.).

I’m waiting Aston Villa’s match, this team is my favorite
I just watched the game on DVR. My wife had to leave because I was yelling at the TV. The announcer was making NO sense regarding the offside rule. Yes, it used to be different. But now it is well-established. The announcer wouldn’t stop pining for the old days and the old rule.
Bendtner’s “offside” position had nothing to do with the goal. The crowd was upset because Bendtner did (inadvertently, it seemed) collide with one of the pursuing defenders.
If Jozy scores a goal, but nobody sees it.. did Jozy really score a goal?? hmmmmmm
I was listening (not watching) on-line at work via bundesliga.de, and must have mis-understood what I heard in German.
elfmeter = 11 meters
No. I understood the elfmeter talk. I’m talking about your description of Bradley sealing the win in extra time. That’s quite the spin. He scored the 4th penalty for ‘Gladbach. Then Leverkusen scored their 4th(out of 5 tries.) Then ‘Gladbach scored number 5 and won.
Ja, das ist richtig! It’s not a spin, rather the complete and accurate description auf deutsch (in German).
Elfmeter is penalty kick in German? That’s excellent.
That’s an interesting way to spin it.
i always thought MB excelled at elfmeter
Bradley’s dangerous cross was headed by a backpedalling Leverkusen defender to the feet of Idrissou, who collected and shot left footed into the bottom right corner. Don’t know if Bradley gets an assist on that.
Bradley elfmeter (PK) seals win for Gladbach in Extra Time in the DFB Pokal against Leverkusen.
Gladbach wins! Bradley with a PK and maybe an assist.
Gladbach win!
Bradley makes his penalty to make it 4-3 for Gladbach after 4 shots each
Bradley makes a PK! Gladbach needs 1 more.
thats a good thing…get jozy another start
home-and-home
So how does this work in Copa del Rey? PKs? Replay?
did poli really just even things up with villareal? Do they go to extra time or replay in copa del reY?
Gladbach going to penalties.
I agree he’s much easier to spot, but my stream isn’t exactly crystal clear.
And the match ends 1-1…way to blow it Villarreal.
WTF do you mean you think? You either see the man with a crystal ball for a head kicking the ball or you don’t…
😛
Gol, Moreno, Poli at the end of the match
lol, so true
