There may not be a more in-form player in the world than Gareth Bale, and Saturday against Everton will be his next chance to impress the growing list of big-name clubs interested in acquiring him.
Tim Howard will be out to stop Bale as he looks to add a second shutout after keeping Liverpool off the scoreboard in last week's Merseyside Derby.
Today also marks the final weekend of the MLS regular season and features a Colorado-Real Salt Lake tilt that should be the best MLS match of the weekend.

I agree that this ref has confused me, even as a Houston fan. I am glad he did not send off Deric, but he should have been sent off.
So terrible. Telefutura announcers are absolutely dumbfounded.
LOL. I’m a pretty avid fan but that game was tough to take. Cheers
Ref with a terrible decision in the Seattle – Houston game. Houston’s goalie should have been sent off and a PK should have been given instead Zakuani gets a yellow for simulation.
Cameron ties it up houston 1 – seattle 1
Riley scored a rocket outside the 18.
Cameron finishes off a beautiful sequence of passes by Houston.
too bad gareth bale isn’t american.. he’d start at left back first day!
Sounder up 1-0. 17 minutes gone in the first half. I’m not sure what minute they scored in or who scored.
Barca is fine, motoring along.
What the hell are you talking about? Dempsey’s had 2 goals in 4 games plus an assist. I don’t know how you could call him one of their worst players in the last few weeks.
I didn’t see today’s game, but last week Dempsey did all the hard work in setting up a goal for Kamara and the week before he scored the only Fulham goal.
Those of you who are bored with your teams need to start watching Real Madrid. 18 goals in their last four matches and Ronaldo scored four today. They are an absolute machine.
Funny how all the Barca “fans” have disappeared.
Ronaldo scored 4 for Madrid against Santander. Final 6-1.
Not good, and Dempsey has been one of their worst players in the last few weeks. Without Etuhu, Murphy and Zamora they are pretty weak
Well so did Jozy…
How’s fulham doing
would have been nice to sub him in instead of Gomez in the Ghana game… our midfield looked dead tired by ET
Jesus… Holden got a 9 as a rating by Sky, thats easily the highest rating you can have without scoring or even putting a shot on goal.
he mustof stole the ball 8 times or something
cough armchair fan cough
Center bench is where a man with his abilities belongs
Dolo starts for Hannover and they beat FC Köln 2-1.
Hey Dani Alves, I think you’ll survive.
Anybody catch Bolton? Holden was man of the match again according to Sky
I love the Buddle photo on the MLS site, cartoon superhero-esque
whats up with beasley at hannover and EJ needs to make another movie come january, so does MB90. MB whatever is horrbile. looks like redcardo clark made a move and is now playing center bench
Well, I agree with you about Grant and wanting West Ham to stay in the Prem but that don’t mean I want to watch it. 🙂
Me. I like Grant and want to see West Ham stay up.
Wow, other than diehard supporters of Newcastle or the Hammers, can ANYONE be interested in this game?
Mig is in fact correct. I was joking. Looks like some people are on edge today.
well, let’s not be hasty with that assessment. When WAS the last time a striker scored in a non-friendly? 🙂
I think Jig was joking though.
wow, news flash. Schalke didn’t win again and lo and behold, Jones the Thug got another card.
Because the USMNT is past the point where we need to call up League one strikers.
I recall being told that Lichaj had a very good chance of playing today…
Grella scores for Carlisle against Charlton. That makes 2 goals in just over 30 appearances in England’s lower levels. Wonder why Bradley doesn’t call him up?
Flawless execution by Chelsea there. This one is all over.
And Kalou nutmegs Hahnemann after a good spell by Wolves.
Makes you wonder what is going on at Villa.
They have one of the worst defenses in the EPL, you would think that the coach would switch things up.
Well played by Hahnemann who stuffs Drogba with a tackle outside the box though the attempt or chance by DD was a wee lazy IMO
Wow, I’m a Chelsea fan and even I am bored by this game. They look disinterested and Wolves are actually looking competent.
or New England if the rumors are true
Why does fox soccer channel only seem to show the stinkers? Chivas vs. Chicago? Who cares? Show me RSL vs. Colorado.
Well Gladbach’s keeper is awful…and we also can see Houllier doesn’t rate Lijach at this point (didnt even make the bench)…that blows.
Wow, didn’t take long for the announcer to get the Jean Claude VanDamme remark in there. It is apparently necessary every time Wolves play.
Generally well played game if not exactly thrilling.
yeah, that was a professional foul.
Just got a yellow card I think.
Anybody seen much of this Sandro? I saw one of the games in the Copa and he looked sharp.
poor robbie keane. been at the club for years and no chance of playing even as a super-sub. He should have stayed at Celtic or headed to Fulham or Stoke
That was tough to watch. He just flapped at it. He has made some other nice saves however.
Yeah, don’t expect that from Timmy. But that’s two so far this season.
Ouch…Howard howler….marred an otherwise cracking game….
