Soccer Saturday: Your Running Commentary

With dreams of an English Premier League title now dashed for both Liverpool and Arsenal, the goal for both squads is securing a place in the UEFA Champions League. As things stand, the Gunners and Reds are both battling to secure a place in the top four.

Only one of them will be in the top four after today’s showdown at Anfield, with Arsenal looking to hold onto its place ahead of Liverpool. Manchester United’s disappointing draw with Bournemouth has eased some of the pressure off the Gunners and Reds, but both teams are looking for a win after each dropping two of three matches.

In Spain, Barcelona will look to retake first place in La Liga with a win against Celta Vigo. Real Madrid’s win earlier on Saturday allowed los Merengues to jump back ahead of Barca, but Lionel Messi and Co. will be heavily favored to run their winning streak in La Liga to six matches.

The U.S. Women’s National Team will be in action on Saturday, facing England in the SheBelieves Cup at Red Bull Arena. The USWNT opened the tournament with a 1-0 win against Germany.

  1. Something to keep an eye on, gyau started and went 80 mins and Rodriguez came off the bench. They sit 2 points from promotion playoff spot. Hopefully gyau has cemented his spot in starting XI, still think(hope) he can contribute to USMNT when he fully reaches full health. Maybe makes another move in summer if shows well over next two months.

  2. If you search Emerson Hyndman on Twitter, there’s a Celtic fan trolling him incessantly. Does that mean he’s arrived?

  3. This got posted 5 minutes ago after most games are already over. Ives posted this yet he’s been tweeting since this AM. SMH.. the down fall of this site is incredible.
