The games might already be underway, but Saturday still has an action-packed schedule to offer.
One of the day’s most interesting matches will take place in Spain, as Barcelona visits Valencia. New Valencia head coach Gary Neville will not be officially on the sidelines for the match, but will be watching from the stands as his struggling club tries to slow down Leo Messi, Neymar, and the rest of Barcelona’s star-studded lineup.
Another intriguing bout is between Borussia Dortmund and Wolfsburg, as the second- and third-placed clubs in the German Bundesliga square off. Wolfsburg has the advantage of playing at home, but will need to find a way to stymie the red-hot Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
In the mood for some college action? You are in luck. Stanford and Wake Forest meet at night, with U.S. Men’s National Team striker Jordan Morris trying to lead the Cardinal to its latest victory.

Brooks nearly scored a brace in that game. Had the keeper not made a good save he would have had two
I think the best thing today, was how Cameron played as a DM. He was pivotal in shutting down MC today.
Brooks had a goal also
Hyndman got 20 mins in fulham 3-0 loss today
Ze Johnson will be told to make ze overlapping runs more against ze Guatemala. Best RB in ze Bundesliga!
only caught the last 20 minutes of arsenal-sunderland, but yedlin looked like a bystander for the most part. i do like that he’s playing wingback, since i think that’s his ideal role.
to clarify: “bystander” in the sense that he looked lost out there. he certainly did enough running, just to not much effect.
He was caught out daydreaming on the first goal.
I only saw the second half as well but id say yedlin was 70% great, 10% bad and 20% ball watching lol. His main problems that I see are once he’s defending in his own box he allows the attacker too much space. He made quite a few tackles and clearances, including a goal saving one off the line but also kinda was at fault for 2 if not all 3 goals. If he can cut out the ball watching I think he will develop nicely.
Jmho
I just watched the 15 minute highlight over at timesoccer (which is a sketchy site), and thought the same. Way too much ball-gazing from Yedlin. He was only involved in one dangerous attack, with a really good run, but he sent the shot over the goal. Although he did have to rush the attempt with his right foot as a defender was closing him down. Finally and most worryingly, there were a few players on Sunderland that seemed to stop giving it their full effort in the final minutes, and Yedlin was one of them.
It looks like Cech is still a top 3 goal keeper in the world. Smart, focused, quick as ever; Petr Cech putting on his usual masterclass.
SUNDERLAND………L……..O……..L…….
THEY SHOULD HAVE PLAYED JOZY MOAR AMIRITE?!
Hear that? That’s the sound of no one laughing at your year-old jokes…..
PS- don’t try to steal the great FRANK’s comedic style… It’s not a good look for you
When jozy is retired will you still be whining about Sunderland. Or will it finally be over then?
My “sund…lol…” Isnt in reference to jozy tho….. Good try. Keep at it, boy
So you just have a problem with Sunderland in general? L….O……L
Since when is hatred for a team a sin? Lol……
I’m just laughing at a team that can’t get it together. Kinda like laughing at the Bucks or the 76ers…. Or the Raiders….. Now why you’re so enthralled with trying to poke fun at me for this is beyond me but ur oddness doesn’t affect me… Lol
fabian also with the initial pass on gladbach’s first goal. was dangerous throughout.
also, that was an amazing game. both teams just flat-out attacked the whole time.
Entertaining Stoke? Oh, yes, Gome are the kick and run days of Pulis.
F. Johnson with a goal against previously undefeated giants Bayern Munchen. Quick, sign him up in MLS. that worked great for bradley, dempsey.
sure hope we get to see Bradley played in the right position for the Nats going forward
Clint had the most goals for the US, this year then he ever has in his career, with 9 actually. Had just as good of a World Cup last year that he ever had. Just don’t see this drop off or where he would have been better honestly.
Thank God for Germany’s player development system.
anyone see Schweinsteiger’s forearm shiver…no foul called, let alone a card.
