Things are slowing down to a crawl on the WCR Top 25 schedule, where only one team faces a ranked opponent this week on television. That team, River Plate hosts Olimpico on FSC on Sunday.
Of course, the biggest games of the week are international matches – and the biggest of those take place in Euro 2008 on Saturday on the ESPN family of networks. This weekend, the weaker of the two groups are in action as Group A and Group B begin. There will be two games a day until the end of the group stage. I’m still going with Italy over Germany and the rest of my RPI predictions, but we’ll see how that turns out.
In domestic action, the games of the week will be in Chicago, where the demons known as the Fire take on my beloved D.C. United, and in Los Angeles where the Galaxy host the Rapids in a battle for the top spot in the west.
Let the games begin!!!
