With the conclusion of the group stages earlier this week, the Women’s World Cup is set to heat up as the tournament reaches the knockout rounds.

The tournament’s Round of 16 kicks off on Saturday as Pia Sundhage’s Sweden takes on top-seeded Germany while China faces Cameroon. The action spills into Sunday with host Canada taking on Switzerland, France meeting the Korea Republic while Brazil goes up against Australia.

South America’s action is not limited to the Women’s World Cup, as the Copa America’s group stages reach their end point over the weekend. Tournament hosts Chile, who are controversially keeping Arturo Vidal in the fold following his alleged arrest for drunk driving, face off with Bolivia Friday night.

Elsewhere, the Under-20 World Cup wraps up as Serbia faces off with Brazil, while MLS provides a full slate following the midweek’s U.S. Open Cup action.

  1. It is not an “alleged arrest.” Vidal was definitely arrested. Maybe he was arrested for allegedly drunk driving.

    • I think it would be better if Bolivia then had to play the Rapids at 9pm as well and then split their team to play the Senagal U-20s at 9:30. Those Bolivians are used to altitude though, so they could do it.

      • I’m sure Bolivia could keep it rolling and the other half of their team could also play the Brazil U-20s at 1 AM as well.
