Soccer Saturday: Your Running Commentary

It’s another loaded Saturday of soccer, with leagues from Europe to North America to Australia in action.

The English Premier League sees Geoff Cameron and Stoke City take on league leaders Chelsea, while a resurgent Leicester City heads to West Ham.

In the Bundesliga, second place RB Leipzig takes on relegation contenders Werder Bremen, featuring Aron Johannsson. Fellow American striker Terrence Boyd and Darmstadt visits Wolfsburg, while John Brooks and Hertha Berlin will visit Cologne.

Meanwhile, all but two MLS teams are in action. Atlanta United, fresh off a big win in Minnesota, host a Chicago Fire team looking as good as they have in years. Other matches include an all-Canadian affair between the Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto FC, while the Houston Dynamo and Portland Timbers face off in a match in a surprising match of two teams with six points from two matches in this early season.

  1. Call me crazy but I would like to see a 5 man midfield of FJ, KA, EH, PA with CP22 as the 10 and BW as loan striker

  2. Gyau off the bench today so apparently nothing serious after leaving around 30th minute last week. No Mario Rodriguez this week.

    Green stays on the bench. Hmmm.

    Arriyibi hasn’t dressed for Nottingham Forest after transferring in January?

  3. Anybody know if Boyd is injured or has Frings just determined that Sven Shiplock, who hasn’t scored a goal in 23 months) is a better option up front for Darmstadt? He hasn’t played recently.
