WEEKEND WATCH GUIDE
Liga MX: Puebla at Monterrey, 7 p.m. Saturday, Univision. The fall season south of the border kicks off this week, and Monterrey is looking to build off a successful spring season. The northern side won the regular-season spring tournament but lost the playoff final to Pachuca. "Los Rayados" would like to continue their momentum.
MLS: Seattle at Portland, 2 p.m. Sunday, Ch. 9. MLS' best rivalry returns to network TV again this year. Seattle fell all the way to the bottom of the Western Conference, but a midweek 5-0 beating of league leader Dallas may have broken the slide. Portland would dearly love to halt the resurgence of its biggest rival.
MLS: NYC at Montreal, 4 p.m. Sunday, ESPN. NYC's winning streak came to a resounding halt last week. Midfielder Frank Lampard scored again, though, and now he'll have to face a Montreal side that's usually led by his old Chelsea teammate Didier Drogba. Drogba may not play, but Montreal has played very well without him.
MLS: New York at Philadelphia, 6 p.m. Sunday, FS1. The Union shocked everyone by holding the Eastern Conference lead through much of the first half this season. The challenge now is for Philly to avoid a second-half letdown. New York will attempt to erase the two-point gap that currently separates the two in the East.
