2 p.m., Wolfsburg vs. Borussia Dortmund, Fox Sports 1: Dortmund is rolling early this season and American Christian Pulisic is one of many reasons why. Others reasons include that their rockin' uniforms.
Wednesday

4 p.m., Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid, beIN Sports USA: You could argue that Atletico Madrid – with two appearances in the Champions League finals and on La Liga title — not Barcelona, have actually been the second-best team in Spain the past three years.

Saturday
7:30 a.m. Manchester United vs. Leicester city, NBCSN: The reeling Red Devils have already lost two games in the Premier League (three overall) and look more like a collection of high-priced players than they do a team. Of course, the Foxes, the defending champs, have also lost two league games.

Oh, and if you haven't seen Jordan Henderson's wonder-goal from Liverpool's win over Chelsea last week, then shame on you. Go to youtube right now…I'll wait…. And we're back.
