This weekend's Soccer on TV

by GIANFRANCO PANIZO

With the majority of the European seasons off due to the international date, this weekend boasts a plethora of international matches for all to watch.

The game most Americans are looking forward to will be on Saturday night as the United States takes on El Salvador in a critical World Cup qualifier, a qualifier that could give the U.S. some breathing space, or place them in a hole in their qualifying campaign.

Other intriguing World Cup qualifiers on tap include Italy-Georgia, Spain-Belgium and Portugal-Denmark. The Portugal-Denmark tilt has significant appeal not just because of Cristiano Ronaldo, but also because the Portuguese are in desperate need of points in their quest to qualify for next summer's tournament.

Wondering what other games might be worth catching a glimpse of? Here is the rest of this weekend's Soccer on TV:
