Whether you're looking for the passion of a derby, or the pressure of a Cup quarterfinal, or even a chance to see the best team in the world, today's schedule of soccer matches has it all for you.
Roma and Lazio will resume their Rome rivalry this morning, with Lazio trying to solidify its hold on the fourth and final Champions League qualifying place in Serie A. Cruz Azul and Club America also square off in what should be an entertaining Mexico City Derby.
The FA Cup will fill the final two semifinal places today as well, with Jonathan Spector looking to join Stuart Holden in the FA Cup semis as West Hame takes on Stoke City.
If last week's Barcelona-Arsenal match left you wishing you could see Barca against a team willing to attack, today could give you what your looking for. Sevilla is at home against Barca and will look to pull the upset.

Too anxious for Tuesday.
This Sev-FCB game is outstanding….
No Totti, no party
Tally Hall’s distribution and possession skills are going to cost the Dynamo 4 points this year.
wow LOL, sounds so unreal like you just made that storyline up, wish i wouldve watched it!
Did anyone see the A-League Grand Final? Holy crap, that game was awesome! Brisbane Roar and Central Coast Mariners ran the ball up and down the field for 90 minutes without a goal. Both teams had numerous scoring chances, but defense was strong for both sides. Brisbane dominated possession, but kept trying unsuccessfully to break through the Central Coast’s central defense. (I don’t know why Brisbane didn’t try more crosses from the wings. I guess that’s not their style of play.) Then in extra time, Central Coast scored twice in the first 15-minute period. It definitely took the wind out of Brisbane’s sails and silenced the 50,000+ home crowd. Incredibly, Brisbane scored twice in the last 3 minutes of the overtime to send it to penalties. Brisbane goalkeeper Michael Theoklitos made two excellent saves to secure the Roar’s 4-2 win.
With their third Grand Final defeat, the Central Coast Mariners are now the New England Revolution of the A-League. (CCM fans, I feel your pain.)
Also, I always thought Brad Davis was pretty good. I was wrong, he’s reeeeally good.
Yes, that was a great match. Lazio looked to have the edge, but both teams had trouble finding scoring opportunities. Once Totti scored his first off a free kick, Roma seemed to take control. Lazio players were clearly frustrated and let it show with needless infractions. Radu was sent off for head butting Simplicio and Ledesma minutes later for dissent, I think. The win was crucial for Roma as they jockey for European qualification. They’re now in 6th place, 7 points ahead of Juventus and only two points behind Lazio.
At New England-Houston. Will Bruin is legit. Two goals in three minutes just now.
do you have a link of NE v. Hou?
New England vs. Houston preseason on now
NO MLS fantasy this year?
+1
Forza Roma!!
Hope that Reading can make a match of it today against City. They are a good little team and I have enjoyed watching them since Convey and Hahnemann were there.
Great match by Roma, as they beat Lazio on a Totti brace, 2-0, to beat their city rivals for the third time since the fall. Lazio finishes with nine men after two players shown straight reds in the final minutes of the match. Roma within striking distance of the final Champions League slot that Lazio holds tenuously.
Roma-Lazio is always entertaining. Not always the best soccer, but fun to watch.
Stoke 2-1, 63′.
Free kick blasted low through gap in the wall, slight deflection, Green only managed to knock it on to the post and in.
GREEN SAVES IT
14 seconds into second half, Stoke has a penalty
Spector on for Piquionne
Spector in for Piquionne. USA! USA! USA!
Piquionne ties it, but he took the ball down with his arm. Officials didn’t see it, the goal stands. He also got taken down by Huth while scoring and is hobbling back on to the field now.
Stoke City with a very stereotypical goal: Delap throw to Huth’s head, 1-0.
Okay, FS+, what was that all about? Instead of showing the game it was those highlight loops they like to show and then it cut over to the game in the 6th minute.
A draw. Milan almost seemed to get better after Ibra was sent off.
helluva goal by bari
lol, Ibra sent off.
Bari leading Milan right now. Good stuff!
