The top games to watch in world soccer this week on your TV or fancy mobile streamin’ device.
Monday
3 p.m., Sunderland vs. Everton, NBCSN: David Moyes, now managing the Black Cats, will face the team that he built before Roberto Martinez took over and did next to nothing with after Moyes was hired by Manchester United, which he did next to nothing with.
Tuesday
2:45 p.m., PSG vs. Arsenal, Fox Sports 2: PSG isn't off to the best of starts now that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has took his talents up The Tunnel (which was also a great mystery series on GPB. Seriously, watch it). Arsenal is still Arsenal…which means it's good enough to make the Champions League but not good enough to win it.
8 p.m., Sporting KC vs. Vancouver, facebook: Yes, you read that right. This CONCACAF Champions League game will be on facebook. That's why it made the list. You can watch as you invite me to like your page (I'll never like your page :) ).
10 p.m., Dallas vs. New England, ESPN2: The U.S. Open Cup final will end with Dallas, clicking well and atop the MLS Western Conference, taking on the Revs.
Wednesday
2:45 p.m., Real Madrid vs. Sporting CP, ESPN Deportes TV: This game should be the second for Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently returned from the thigh injury he sustained in the finals of the Euros.
2:45 p.m., Juventus vs. Sevilla, ESPN2: Juventus is a darkhorse to win the Champions League, despite losing Paul Pogba to Manchester United.
Thursday
1 p.m., Feyenoord vs. Manchester United, ESPN Deportes TV: Yes, Ibrahimovic and Pogba, who was mostly invisible in the loss to Manchester City, came to Manchester United to win the Europa League. Don't even try to argue the point.
8 p.m., Thailand vs. U.S. women, ESPN2: The U.S. women will host Thailand in Columbus a few days before they take on Holland at the Georgia Dome.
Friday
3 p.m., Chelsea vs. Liverpool, NBC Sports: The Reds hammered Leicester City 4-1, while the Blues needed a late goal from Diego Costa to rescue a point against Swansea.
Saturday
7 p.m., NYCFC vs. Dallas, MLS Live: The game of the week of MLS and perhaps a preview of the MLS Cup.
Sunday
Noon: Inter Milan vs. Juventus, beIN Spors: Two Italian giants will clash. While Juventus has strengthened its hold on Serie A, Inter is trying to claw its way back to relevance.
2 p.m., Sporting KC vs. Los Angeles, ESPN Deportes, Fox Soccer: A chance to see Landon Donovan, who for some reason came out of retirement to return to the Galaxy. Here's hoping he's been working on his free kicks.
7 p.m., Netherlands vs. U.S. women, Fox Sports 1: Three Georgia natives will take the grass for the red, white and blue. Netherlands has a good team, so don't expect a repeat of the 8-0 thrashing delivered to Russia the last time the U.S. was in Atlanta.
