Sunday Soccer


If you won't be outside, check out the US youth team face off against Italy's youth team in the Toulon youth tournament in France. The game will be shown on Fox Soccer Channel at noon EST. While the US side doesn't have top choice players and will be heavy underdogs, there are players worth watching such as Kamani Hill who looks to be a good bet to get the call to the Olympics. Italy has an impressive team and should be entertaining. Tune in and learn some of tomorrow's big names today.


The Red Bulls host the Chicago Fire at 3:00 EST today. Why watch this one? They HATE each other. Some pre-game notes:

Claudio Reyna is expected to be back in action and will likely be handed the task of keeping Blanco at bay.

Seth Stammler is not yet expected to return.

Juan Pablo Angel feels much healthier, that could be a dangerous statement!


Between some quick and tricky players like Mapp and Rolfe combined with Blancos antics, Chicago can be a tough team to keep off the board. My prediction is 2-1 Red Bulls hang on at home in a real battle. Catch the action at 3 on MSG. Sorry about the picture, was the best I could manage to cover US Soccer and the Red Bulls with one picture!
