7 Hot Matches

Chicago Fire vs. Manchester United

5 p.m. Saturday (ESPN2)

Man U. blew out Seattle, a much better team than Chicago, 7-0. Will this be a more entertaining game for a national audience than the Union vs. Real Madrid, which isn't on English-language TV? Probably not.

Uruguay vs. Paraguay

2 p.m. Sunday (Univision)

Star strikers Diego Forlan and Luis Suarez lead Uruguay against a Paraguay side looking for one more upset in the Copa America final.

Bayern Munich vs. AC Milan

2:30 p.m. Tuesday (Fox Soccer Channel)

A preseason friendly between two European giants, part of the Audi Cup tournament hosted by Bayern.

Juventus vs. Club America

7:30 p.m. Tuesday (ESPN2)

 This friendly match will be played at Citi Field. If the Mets trade Carlos Beltran, maybe Juve star Alessandro Del Piero can play right field.

San Francisco vs. Seattle Sounders

8 p.m. Tuesday (Fox Soccer Channel)

No, not the Giants. This is the CONCACAF Champions League, with the Sounders visiting Panama's best team.

MLS All-Stars vs. Manchester United

8:30 p.m. Wednesday (ESPN2/Galavision)

This year's All-Star Game is at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J. Last year, Man U. beat the all-stars, 5-2, in Houston.

Alianza FC vs. FC Dallas

10 p.m. Thursday (Fox Soccer Channel)

Rising American star Brek Shea leads FC Dallas into El Salvador for this CONCACAF Champions League game.
