June 13, 2015 at 3:03AM
Women's World Cup: England vs. Mexico, 3 p.m. Saturday, Ch. 9. England needs a win to get back on track after an opening-game loss to France. Mexico is in the running for its first knockout-round berth ever and will be desperate for a result against one of the Group F favorites.
Women's World Cup:
Spain vs. Brazil, 3 p.m. Saturday, Fox Sports 1. Spain's draw with Costa Rica in its first game leaves it in a tough spot. Spain would like to avoid a loss to Group E favorite Brazil, as that could leave them needing to beat South Korea in their final group-stage game.
NASL: Minnesota United FC vs. Fort Lauderdale Strikers, 7 p.m. Saturday, Ch. 45. The Strikers haven't won since April and fired their coach midweek. It's a perfect chance for Minnesota to end a string of disappointing results and finish the NASL spring season on a high note.
MLS: DC United at Orlando City, 6 p.m. Sunday, Fox Sports 1. Expansion Orlando and star forward Kaka haven't lost in their last four and have climbed into the MLS playoff race. Their last loss, though, came at the hands of DC United, the Eastern Conference leaders.
