The biggest domestic match of the European season takes place today, and should be the centerpiece for most soccer TV viewing this Saturday.
Real Madrid takes on FC Barcelona in what is easily the match of the day, but on a day when a record eight MLS matches will be played, there is a great selection of action on tap today.
Aston Villa/Chelsea and Fiorentina/Inter Milan will serve as good European appetizers before 'El Clasico', and before the full slate of MLS matches, which includes the Philadelphia Union's home debut.

Thats if he continues to improve and is playing on the right team.
That was a great kick. The Burnley Players’s body language screamed left and he hit it to the right. Hull’s goalie had no chance.
Jon Paul Pittman scored for Wycombe
Jozy has looked OK in this match. A lot of that has to do with his supporting players obviously. But having watched previous games, Jozy still has a lot of growing to do. He’s a handful for sure, but I think his decision making needs the most improvement. I can’t wait to see him in his prime at his best when he has years of top flight experience. He’ll be unstoppable.
Do many players shoot penalties with a straight run-up? Looks like it’d be super difficult to read a guy who can run up and shoot the ball into the corner like that without turning his hips.
I can officially declare Jozy too good for Hull. Wow.
This one is over for Hull. 2 penalties.
Wow! Hull is absolutely pathetic!
Good news for US. Is he still the captain there?
Dolo looked very good at Hanover.
Yawn, take it to rivalries.
I’m sad i just woke up to find i missed Jozy’s assist.
Anyways, i’ll be at Rio Tinto tonight, probably listening to more ignorant Sounders fans telling me #17 is our DP and he’s not as good as either of the Freddies. Then i laugh and say we don’t have a DP and #17 (Wingert) is about as far from it as possible. And at the end of the night, RSL wins.
Jozy is the only reason i’m sitting through this otherwise unwatchable match.
They don’t need anymore assault charges. They should probably keep their hands to themselves for once.
i think its cos they are showing the fulham liverpool game tom morning
Jozy just about smoked the AR…. man that would have been funny, although, not cool!
can’t afford to lose his cool here he’s playing so well
Altidore was easily Hull’s best player that half. He’s playing very well and was unlucky to not get a goal.
…Will sleep with many rosy cheeked, pearl-skinned Brigham Young coeds after defiling RSL.
Looking at ESPN’s schedule next Saturday morning is the Manchester Derby.
stupid by altidore!
Oh Jozy, be patient man
Altidore good on the ball again…
Soooooooooouuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnders
It seems to have been moved for some reason or ESPN had it wrong. I checked during the week and it was on the schedule. Then I checked last night and wasn’t listed anymore, then checking the premier schedule the game is on Wednesday this week.
there wasnt a game being played for them to show this morning
Oh yea?
Good move by Burnley player to get open for that cross…
can anyone tell me what happened to the epl game on espn2? it was supposed to be on at 7.30, but instead i wake up to find fishing shows???
AHHHHHHHHHHH
nice moves by jozy!
nevermind. think i got one.
Two Americans in two six pointers today. If only they weren’t RELEGATION six pointers….
can anyone feed me a video of hull?
don’t bother, he’s training with the national team. Mexican clubs will have to do without their best players for the remainder of the season…
Assist by Jozy!!
START JOZY EVERY GAME HES YOUR BEST ATTACKER 1-0 HULL
Yeah, baby!!!
jozy whips a ball in nnnn gooooooooool
horrible defending by burnley but great cross from JOZY!
Altidore!!!
jozy gets one today, book it.
goodmorning alan!
So is Cherundolo.
Hannover 1-0 Schalke
26′
*Will be using the DVR to check out: Chivas vs. Morelia . Hoping the ” Little Pea ” doesn’t disappoint.
*Let’s hope Jozy puts one into the ol’ union bag against a struggling Burnley today. We know he’ll create for Hull but this should be the week to add him to the scoring sheet.
*Chicago welcoming back Jon Busch to Toyota Park, albeit, he’ll be on the bench. It’ll be a bit weird not seeing him defending Section 8. With that said, I’m sure he’ll be receiving a warm reception initially.
Ugh… Why do Chivas and New York have to be at the same time as the Clasico? I was looking forward to seeing what all this Tim Ream hype was about.
so is Spector
Jozy starting.
….Will lose to RSL.
Dynamo – Galaxy in Houston is the top match of the day in MLS.
Seeeaaaaaatttttlllleeee
