The United States and Brazil didn't think they'd be meeting this early in the FIFA Women's World Cup. That hardly means their matchup will be any less entertaining.
The two powers go head-to-head in the quarterfinals of the World Cup on Sunday in a rematch of the 2008 Olympic gold medal game as a highlight of this weekend's slate of matches.
On the men's side, Copa America continues as Brazil is in action against Paraguay in a battle of 2010 World Cup quarterfinalists. On the youth circuit, Mexico and Uruguay battle for Under-17 supremacy in the final of the FIFA U-17 World Cup.
It's an interesting weekend in MLS as well, with New York-D.C. and Seattle-Portland rivalry matches on tap along with a battle of Western Conference powers Real Salt Lake and FC Dallas.
