Michael Bradley's recent play has earned him headlines in the United States and in Italy, and he has another chance to earn some more when going up against a traditional Italian power on Friday.
Bradley's Chievo Verona hosts reeling Inter Milan with a chance to pull level with the Serie A giant on Friday as part of a weekend filled with top-notch fixtures both abroad and domestically.
MLS kicks off its 17th season this weekend, and even though there are no nationally televised games for Saturday's opening games, the league has made its MLS Live package free for this weekend for fans to be able to catch all the action.
Things get started on Saturday in Vancouver and Colorado, as the expansion Montreal Impact face their Canadian competitors, while the Rapids welcome the Columbus Crew in a meeting of teams who have clashed in the postseason the last two years.
