The Italian Serie A (Fox) and Spanish La Liga (Gol TV) seasons kick off this weekend. There's six MLS games and the USL-2 championship. In their final home game before departing for the Women's World Cup in China, the U.S. women face Finland on Saturday. The U.S. boys fight for survival in the U-17 World Cup very early on Sunday morning. Americans abroad with televised games this weekend include Tim Howard (Everton), Brad Friedel (Blackburn), Edgar Castillo (Santos), Michael Orozco (San Luis) and Steve Cherundolo (Hannover).
