While this week is obviously headlined by the mecca of soccer games, it actually is shaping up to be a good week of action. Saturday we have the 3rd place match-up, a MLS game and a great international friendly set to take place at the Rose Bowl. Sunday the world will be watching as either the Netherlands or Spain wins its first ever World Cup trophy. Tuesday night, the #1 ranked USA Women's National Team takes on Sweden in a friendly, which leads into a double header on Wednesday in the U-20 Women's World Cup. Thursday night is the standard MLS game of the week and we wrap it up with Manchester United vs. Celtic as the Red Devils start their US tour.

Can't believe that Manchester United are starting their pre-season training so soon after the World Cup. Some of their players will have had very little time off this summer and there's already talk of players being completely burnt-out and injury prone.
