A trio of MLS games headlines Sunday night’s action, while Olympic soccer continues to kick into high gear with the second round of men’s matches.

In MLS play, a Western Conference clash starts the day as the Portland Timbers play host to Sporting Kansas City in a clash of playoff contenders. A pair of interconference matches soon follow, as Orlando City hosts the Seattle Sounders before the New York Red Bulls take on the LA Galaxy.

The Olympics are headlined by hosts Brazil, who will be looking to appease the local fans following a 0-0 draw last time out. Neymar and Co. continue their pursuit of the elusive gold medal against Iraq, while Mexico will look to beat up on a Fiji team that lost, 8-0, to South Korea last time out.

Elsewhere, the NASL features a clash between the New York Cosmos and Rayo OKC, while a pair of Liga MX ties are scattered throughout the day.
