There’s plenty of action for soccer fans to enjoy this weekend on TV and major streaming services.
Sunday’s Premier League offering Liverpool vs Manchester City will garner most of the headlines, as the battle presents the Reds with an opportunity to stay unbeaten and widen its lead against England’s defending champions.
In Germany, reigning champions Bayern Munich looks to rebound from last week’s humiliation against Eintracht Frankfurt — a loss that cost manager Niko Kovac his job — with a win against rival Borussia Dortmund in the latest edition of Der Klassiker.
In Italy, plenty of star power will be on display Sunday when Juventus hosts AC Milan at Allianz Stadium.
Also on Sunday, the MLS season comes to a close with Seattle Sounders taking on Toronto FC at CentrutyLink Stadium with the MLS Cup on the line.

Aren’t there a few other women’s international friendlies? England vs. Germany, Saturday at 1:30 Eastern /12:30 Central, looks like a good game, and it’s said to be sold out at Wembley, which sounds great for women’s soccer. Forgive me if I would rather have watched that than US vs. Costa Rica.

Why can’t networks just look ahead and plan to show the occasional big game on an individual basis?
.
They seem to be under the misconception that viewers follow only big-brand teams, or their own national teams, and are unaware of which games might provide the most competitive soccer.
