This weekend of soccer starts off bright and early with a can’t miss clash from England’s top flight.
Manchester United welcomes Tottenham into Old Trafford to kick off a congested saturday of soccer. The two are level for second place in the Premier League table with identical 6-2-1 records to open the season.
Italy has a big time match as well on Saturday. Resurgent, but struggling, AC Milan host defending champion Juventus to get their weekend going before AS Roma takes on Bologna.
In Spain, Barcelona takes on Basque powerhouse Athletic Bilbao on Saturday and Real Madrid goes on the road to take on newly promoted Girona.
That’s just but a small helping of the gratuitous selection of soccer available to you on television and streaming this weekend. Here’s the full menu:

I appreciate the listings, but some of us get Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2 and Fox Sports PLUS. For example, SBI has:
“9:30 a.m. – Fox Soccer Match Pass – Hannover 96 vs. Borussia Dortmund”
but I get that game on Fox Soccer Plus, as part of my PlayStation Vue streaming subscription.
Whoa, look at MoneyBags over here.
Moneybags? PSVue only costs $35 a month for something like 60 channels. I dropped my cable tv sub from TimeWarner, which cost me over $145 a month. I saved over $100 a month. Hardly sounds like moneybags.
I get tons of soccer, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, FS1, FS2, FSplus, NBCSN, so EPL, Bundesliga, ChampionsLeague. They used to carry beinSports, with LaLiga, Ligue1 and LaLiga,, but lost it not long ago. But, I can still watch beinSports games on Verizon’s Go90. For $35,
Now moneybags would be someone willing to pay extra for Fox Soccer Match Pass. I don’t. Fox Soccer Plus is part of my PS Vue package. It’s the best way to watch tv and soccer, as far as I’m concerned, and it’s cheap.
