WCR Weekend Soccer on Television - 20/21 August 2011

It’s time to bring you another listing of weekend soccer action on American television.  As I’ve said before, I started compiling this list just so I could figure out what I want to watch each weekend.  Now, that I’m living in Argentina, this list is pretty irrelevant to me, but we will continue to bring it to you on a timely basis.  In addition, however, on Fridays, we will be supplementing the list at the bottom to list the matches that will be broadcast on Argentine stations as well.  To the extent it isn’t relative to you, feel free to ignore it.  It’s relevant to me, though.  Tell all your Argentine friends!!!

This list includes Spanish Primera Division matches even though it appears that is likely that these matches will be postponed due to a strike amongst the Spanish La Liga players.  Nevertheless, we include them on the list because at press time, they still are on the ESPN schedule.  Keep in mind, they likely will not be played, but you never know.

Whether the Spanish clubs play or not, there will be plenty of action over the next few days.  Have a great weekend!!!
