Ivory Coast, is not being widely televised throughout the United States, there is still plenty of
top-rate action to catch.

Phil Schoen was nice enough to give the Brotherly Game some of his time about a week and a half
ago. The GolTV play-by-play announcer discussed plenty of topics with the Brotherly Game, some of
which included the Philadelphia Union.
Interview with Phil Schoen of GolTV
Here are some highlights of the chat:
- Schoen's time with GolTV, along with his coverage of Colombian soccer, has enabled him to have
a more advanced take on players from South and Central America.
The are important matches in domestic cup play across a number of countries, none of which is
more intriguing than the Coppa Italia battle between AC Milan and Juventus.
The top two teams in Serie A open their anticipated semifinal tie at the San Siro after easing
past top-notch competition in the quarterfinals.
Fox Soccer has an FA Cup Fourth Round replay: Middlesbrough - Sunderland at 3pm. This is a
Northeast derby, so there's that angle. The original game ended 1-1 at Sunderland's Stadium of
Light. Copa del Rey on GolTV: Barcelona - Valencia at 3pm in the second-leg of their semifinal
series. They drew 1-1 in the opener.
Clint Dempsey will try to keep his torrid hot streak in the English Premier League going against
a Manchester City side looking to hold on to first place in one of today's best matches.
The Cottagers are in need of points to move further away from the relegation zone, but earning
any in Manchester against a City side coming off a loss to Everton won't be easy.
Not too long ago, Chelsea and Manchester United were fighting each other for league titles and
UEFA Champions League superiority. Now, the Blues are just hoping to chip away at a 12-point table
deficit that keeps mounting by the week.
The two English giants battle Sunday at Stamford Bridge in a nationally televised game on the
Fox network, with United looking to maintain its place atop the league while dealing perhaps the
final blow to Chelsea's faint title hopes and forcing the club into a fight for a place in Europe
next season.
A whole gaggle of interesting matches to watch this weekend. We've chosen a handful each on
Saturday and Sunday, including the quarterfinals of the African Cup of Nations, a couple each from
the big leagues (Premier League, including Chelsea-ManUtd; Serie A, highlighted by AC Milan-Napoli;
La Liga the one we're most interested in is Atletico Madrid-Valencia), plus a few wild cards
(e.
African Cup of
Nations (Group C), Gabon vs Tunisia (1pmET, Al-Jazeera Sports / Eurosport
International):Tunisia and tournament co-host Gabon both won their first two group games and hence
will advance to the final eight (while the other two teams in the group, Niger and disappointing
Morocco, will go home).
We've got to post a quick recap of what we watched this past weekend but first, very briefly,
here are two games today that you could tune in for, in case you're looking for something to watch
this afternoon/evening (depending on your timezone):
African Cup of Nations, Côte d'Ivoire vs Angola (1pmET, Al-Jazeera Sports /
Eurosport International): The group stage of AfCON2012 wraps up over the next couple days.
A pair of heated English derby match-ups headline today's action, and both will have added
subplots that will only make things more intense.
Manchester United and Liverpool clash in their first meeting since the controversial match where
Luis Suarez allegedly used racial slurs against Patrice Evra; while London rivals Chelsea and
Queens Park Rangers meet for the first time since John Terry allegedly used a racial slur against
Anton Ferdinand.

Yesterday was quite an afternoon of football, with two compelling Cup matches. Turns out
there's more today another Copa del Rey quarterfinal second leg, another Coppa Italia quarterfinal,
and this just in from our Uruguayan buddy it's time for Copa Libertadores again. Click thru for
livesoccertv's TV listings and match previews:
Coppa Italia quarterfinal – Milan vs Lazio - 8:45pm CET / 2:45pmET / 7:45pm

Domestic cup competitions in Europe typically feature David vs. Goliath stories, but Wednesday,
it's all about the big boys.
Liverpool carries its 1-0 edge over Manchester City in the Carling Cup semifinals into the
second leg at Anfield, where the Reds will try and hold on and advance to next month's title game
against surprise finalist Cardiff City.
A couple of big-name matchups in 2nd legs of domestic cup competitions coming up later
today:
Carling Cup semifinal Manchester City vs Liverpool 8:45pm CET / 2:45pmET /
7:45pm GMT (USA TV: FSC): We didn't see the 1st leg of this semifinal tie earlier this month,
which somewhat surprisingly went 1-0 to Liverpool at Anfield.
Cardiff City - Crystal Palace 2:30pm - Fox Soccer Plus Palace leads this Carling Cup semifinal
series 1-0, with the winner advancing to play the winner of the Manchester City - Liverpool series.
So it's Championship versus Premier League in the final, regardless of who wins. Palace are coming
off a 2-1 loss to Blackpool on Saturday, while Cardiff City beat Portsmouth 3-2.
Today is one of those jam-packed days of soccer action that make you happy to be a soccer fan
with a full day with nothing to do but watch soccer.
There is something for everybody today, from the historic Arsenal-Manchester United clash, which
will be the first English Premier League match shown live on American network television, to this
morning's Manchester City-Tottenham tilt featuring two of the best teams in England.
Landon Donovan is coming off an outstanding match in Everton's 1-1 draw vs. Aston Villa last
week, and he will look to post an even better performance against struggling Blackburn today.
Donovan will look to jump-start an offense that has has its share of struggles, but an offense
that could have a field day against struggling Rovers.

For the U.S. men's and women's national teams, it's a big weekend.

Bitter rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona are set to write the next chapter in their storied
Clasico history as they meet in the opening leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals at Estadio
Santiago Bernabeu (4 p.m., GOLTV/ESPN3.com).
While Barcelona is looking for revenge in this tournament after being beaten by Madrid in last
year's final, it is Madrid that is looking to try to even the overall score.
Yet another Clásico the two Spanish superpowers meet again today, in what will be their 8th
battle in the past 9 months (see table below). Real Madrid hosts Barcelona at the majestic
Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, for the first leg of their Copa del Rey quarterfinal

Real Madrid - Barcelona 4pm - GolTV/ESPN Deportes It's the Copa del Rey version of El Clasico, and
it's on two channels. Considering we're talking about a Real Madrid - Barca match-up on a Wednesday

two-leg quarterfinal series and we get to do this all over again next week.
Thierry Henry has already made a dramatic return to Arsenal, but today he will have his chance
to try and top his game-winning FA Cup goal against Leeds by scoring in his first English Premier
League match of his comeback.
The Gunners take on Swansea City in what should be an entertaining encounter, and could bring us
Henry's first start since coming back to Arsenal.
U.A.G. - San Luis 9pm - Galavision As we start the second week of the Clausura season, Michael
Orozco's San Luis are coming off a 1-0 home win over UNAM Pumas. U.A.G. lost 3-1 on the road to
Toluca. Guadalajara's other team needs to make a break with a subpar Apertura season that had them
finishing 16th and losing Herculez Gomez in the offseason.
In the past few weeks, I've been reading several comments from readers who are complaining how

Juve, who are in turn a point behind table-toppers Milan.
The Netherlands' # 1 feline holiday celebrity - Suarez SoolsmaOne of the great things about the Holiday Season is the nightly treat of festive television
