The second week of the English Premier League kicks off this weekend, but it is MLS with the quality match-ups that headline today's soccer on TV.

First-place Columbus takes on second-place Philadelphia in a vital Eastern Conference clash, while FC Dallas battles Seattle in a match-up of top Western Conference foes. West leader Los Angeles will unveil newly-signed striker Robbie Keane tonight against San Jose.

If European soccer is your thing, then Arsenal-Liverpool will be the match to watch. Arsenal will be seriously short-handed, but will still make things tough at the Emirates against a Liverpool side looking to improve on its opening-week draw.

On the international front, Brazil takes on Portugal tonight in the Under-20 World Cup Final. American referee Mark Geiger will officiate the match between Brazil's deadly attack and Portugal's stingy defense.
