Soccer Saturday: Your Running Commentary

 

For the first time in a long time, neither FC Barcelona or Real Madrid is in first or second place in the Spanish First Division, something both Barca and Madrid will try to change with wins today.

Barcelona is currently sitting in fourth place after four matches, and faces a stiff test against Atletico Madrid today, while Real Madrid tries to climb out of seventh place after some recent disappointing results.

In England, Arsenal will try to halt its own slow start against a tough Bolton side, while Chelsea faces Swansea in what might wind up being a tougher test than people expect.

Tonight's slate of MLS matches feature a plethora of playoff race-deciding tilts, including New York-Portland and D.C. United-Real Salt Lake.
