Saturday Soccer & a Belated Weekend TV Preview

When I told my wife about today’s soccer schedule, she gave me on of those “so you want to remain married” looks?

No wonder. And this isn’t a complete list of televised games, just my picks:

10 a.m. ESPN2 – Houston Dynamo at Toronto FC (the Western Conference leaders visit the Eastern Conference co-leaders;final was 1-1).

Noon ESPN2 – Chelsea at Seattle Sounders (in a game that will see the London EPL team go up against former Arsenal striker Freddie Ljungberg; Chelsea, of course, play in Pasadena Tuesday against Inter Milan).

2 p.m. KMEX – Canada-Honduras Gold Cup quarterfinal (can Canada make a run at the Gold Cup final for the first time since they won the trophy in the rain at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum in 2000?)

5 p.m. Fox Soccer Channel – U.S.-Panama Gold Cup quarterfinal

Good things ease up Sunday:
Noon ESPN – U.S. Women’s National Team-Canada

3 p.m. KMEX – Mexico-Haiti Gold Cup quarterfinal

3 p.m. FSN – Chivas USA-New England Revolution

4 p.m. ESPN2 – World Football Challenge, Club America-Inter Milan

7 p.m. FSN – Galaxy-AC Milan (the game at Home Depot center is sold out).

Or not.

Enjoy the weekend.

Oh, and will ya look at Manchester United’s mighty Michael Owen.
