From morning soccer action in England, to evening soccer action in Mexico, Saturday's slate of soccer has something for everybody on this Halloween Day.
Arsenal-Tottenham kicks off today's activities in a highly-anticipated battle on ESPN2 (8:30am). MLS fans will get a taste of playoff soccer later in the day when the Columbus Crew face Real Salt Lake. Then if you're looking to watch some U.S. national team players perform, you can watch Tim Howard (via delay) and Jose Francisco Torres in the late evening.

any good feeds for the fulham game and the hull game
Altidore is on for Big Jan
Yeah, Canada! Rob Friend with the 3-2.
Wycombe up 2-0. Walsall don’t seem to be threatening too much. Pittman is fit so hopefully he gets into the game.
Also Frankie Simek starting (!) for Wednesday.
Jemal Johnson out w/ a calf injury for MK Dons, Grella and Pittman on the bench for Leeds and Wycombe respectively.
torres to tie it up!
fulham 1-1 liverpool
Bradley is alays to blame
Bradley was also partially to blame for the first goal.
Carlton cole is just a beast!!
Sucks for Bradley, but it was an awesome goal by Ze Roberto. 1-2 for the Gladbacher.
anyone have a Fulham stream?
fulham up 1-0 on liverpool
zamora
Lets hope they hold on and Gladbach can get to safety this year. I have this fantasy scenario where Bradley eventually goes to Shalke and starts alongside Jermaine Jones. 3 points versus the league leaders would be a huge windfall of points.
definitely a nice BM goal, Bradley made a great play, even the ESPN deportes guy gave a lot of credit for the goal to Bradley
nice goal from BM, Bradley with the early build up
Gladbach is on atdhe.net
rojadirecta.com has links to this and most other games
Anyone have a somewhat reliable stream for the Gladbach game? I can’t get 360 as I’m out of the country.
Bradley is playing midfield battling ZeRoberto
Spector starts again’
Great win for Arsenal. About time they didn’t concede and stunning goal from Fabregas. I cannot believe Eduardo missed.
Sky Sports Match Tracker has Bradley playing up top as striker any word on this? Jozy ob the bench again
I agree. Vermaelen is Vidic and Rio combined in 1. The armband has to go to him when Fabregas leaves.
anybody know if Jozy is on the bench today? 😉
Bradley starting…espn360 in spanish
Jozy on the bench
Jozy back on the bench today.
Amen brother. That is really just nuts.
Can we all take a second to honor Mr. Brad Friedel, Cleveland native and UCLA Bruin, who is starting his 200th consecutive — 200th! — Premier League game today?
Well that was crap. The advantage was created by the fact that everyone stopped playing. You shouldn’t stop playing, and King and Gomes both should have blocked the cross so Spurs can’t complain too much… but it was still a crap non-call.
He was indeed an underrated pickup
It was a fantastic goal and he deserves all the credit for that killer instinct, but I think it’s being overblown just a tad. He beat two guys, not ten. He also beat Gomes though, which I suppose is ultimately all that matters.
Eduardo stuffed 1 v. 1 by Tottenham keeper… made a couple of nice kick saves this half.
BTW – Thomas Vermaelen the best transfer buy (i.e., value for the $$$) for the 1H season? (And no – not an Arsenal fan)
Tottenham played that kickoff so, so badly. You almost wish they hadn’t because Fabregas’ play was so awesome it should be up for golazo of the year.
That’s how we do it in the USA. Aim? We don’t need no stinking aim.
When I wrote that, Arsenal was dominating. shortly thereafter the Spurs took control of the midfield and they looked stronger. Very close until the end of the half when Arsenal blew it open. Look forward to the 2nd half.
As a Spurs fan, I’m gutted. Spurs were hanging back and playing a bit too much long ball to Crouch, but I was pretty pleased with how they looked. For the most part, Spurs were breaking up everything Arsenal was throwing out them. Then a quick chance off a throw (where Gomes should have done better) and then Fabregas running past Palacios and King (how often does that happen?) and after all that good work, all of a sudden Spurs look out of it.
Credit Arsenal’s two best players for two impressive individual efforts, but this match turned when Keane could not trap a simple ball that should have resulted in a goal.
And up until the first goal the game looked pretty even if you ask me.
wow…scoreless until the end of the half and Arsenal put in two!
Ouch. Hate to be a Tottenham player when they watch the video of that Fabregas goal.
What the hell just happened???
Arsenal seeming to dominate? This is a very even, entertaining match so far
Palacios + Huddlestone = one heavyweight midfield.
haha soccer in HD*
I love soccer in ESPN and 5.1 Dolby.
Anyone watching Spurs/Gunners on the west coast?
Great save by Gomes in a very entertaining game where Arsenal seeming to dominate so far.
Clint’s a gunslinger for sure. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
I say he puts one in at the Cottage today.
From the Guardian: “Clint Dempsey has had more off-target efforts on goal (22) than any other player in the division.”
