The struggling Los Angeles Galaxy will be in Chicago this weekend to take on a desperate Fire team in a battle of squads that need a win badly.
The Galaxy could wind up falling out of first place in the West with a loss on Saturday, while the Fire could see its playoff hopes fade with yet another setback.
MLS will take center stage on an international fixture weekend that has Europe's top leagues taking a break. New York will travel to the fortress that is Rio Tinto Stadium to take on RSL in what may be the weekend's most entertaining match-up.
If you're craving some international soccer, the Brazilian league will feature a pair of matches on Sunday, including star-studded Santos taking on Flamengo in what should be a good battle.
Here is a rundown of This Weekend's Soccer on TV:

What match are you most looking forward to watching? Planning on watching Neymar and Santos? Think the Galaxy will stop its recent slide?
Share your thoughts below.
That’s really a fact. Nice post.
that article is bs. just look to the influx of investments in youth systems by MLS clubs and the Impact and Whitecaps, the number of of youth’s bypassing college for MLS and Europe, the U-20’s new found determination to cap players in other countries, and finally the number of home grown signings made by MLS teams. Finally Allsopp sucks balls and should go back to the A-league or play in China. He’s only a good pick up on my Soccer Manager when playing as a Southport in the Blue Square Premier.
Ah, the ‘ole soccer-baseball rivalry. Heard lots of those jokes…
Surprise, surprise. Some Aussies don’t think MLS is as good as their league.

Seriously who chooses fsc game of the week? They have had crap games for thee weeks in a row and then they wonder why their ratings suck
lol, if people think the quality in MLS sucks, all they have to do is watch an A-League game. What ever happened to the Pan Pacific Championship btw? i thought that was a great tourney that couldv’e really been expanded upon
hey if you have direct tv, the red bulls game is available on the MSG channel. I don’t know if you have to purchase that minimum sports package for 6.99 per month (last time i checked) but you don’t have to be in the NY region to get that channel including the YES channels as well.
why did they move the international matches to friday? Im bored saturdays and was hoping i could enjoy them.
Just back from Ireland. Setanta Ireland will be showing MLS matches. This weeks game is Chicago vs LA . How times have changed
Vamos RBNY!
Amen to that.
Ugh.
But this schedule is not bad enough to drive me to watch baseball.
At least it is cupcake weekend in college football.
Los Angeles Galaxy vs. Chicago Fire is also on Fox Prime Ticket in English. It’s in HD as well!
Time Warner Cable Channels: 61, 255, 464.

Anyone know if Anderlecht is playing this weekend? Looking to see Kljestan find the back of the net again …
Ouch Maka, sounds like you’ve had some serious bad luck and a tough life. Thanks for sharing with us, we are here to support you.
Don’t bother watching Galo against Sao Paulo, they’re the Clippers of Brazil…
could be worse, ricardo clark couldve cost us a deep world cup run… oh wait
YEAH! A-LEAGUE!!!!!!!!
I can’t wait for that Newcastle Jets vs. Brisbane Roar match!!!!11!!
could be worse, you could have lost all your money in a ponzi scheme. then your wife leaves you for your former best friend. your father leaves your mother for his masseuse and your mother takes up with the shrink you hired to get over your impending divorce.
Just my luck. I finally get a weekend off, and there’s no EPL on ESPN2. Laaaaaaame.
