Soccer fans living in the United States have somewhat of an interesting midweek ahead of them. The European preseason begins this week, and two different Premier League teams will be featured on US TV over the next four days. One of those games will also showcase a Major League Soccer club. Speaking of MLS, this Wednesday is an extremely busy day for the league. Games taking place in Brazil also give you a reason or two to attempt to duck out of work early. As usual, be sure to check the ESPN3/Watch ESPN schedule for live games and for match replays featured via the service.
