Weekend Football Preview

We were able to pull ourselves away from this DC United v. Chivas match - just barely - in order to bring you a delicious preview of anything important going on in football this weekend. Just kidding, we are actually watching the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament. Which for entertainment on a Thursday night, ain't half bad. Those VCU kids won our hearts tonight!

Now, rumor has it Chelsea will be suffering a hang over from there mid-week snoozer against Man City when a questionable penalty call against current-Man City-future-Chelsea defender Micah Richards gifted the Blues 3 points. Chelsea didn't look much like a side hungry for a quadruple. But then, Manchester United haven't looked like a treble worthy side for 4 straight matches. And the current leaders are up against a Bolton side that can only play spectacular football against Arsenal. Everyone else: they're crap.

It is this esteemed publication's opinion that Man Utd., Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool will all claim full points this weekend. Also, it might be worth watching Tottenham v. Watford on Saturday and Charlton v. Newcastle on Sunday.

In what is quickly becoming VoF's favorite league to watching - the Bundesliga! - Saturday will see leaders Schalke v. third place Stuttgart. Hannover will be taking on a suddenly resurgent Hamburg and Bayern Munich (taking on Franfurt) suddenly look as likely as anyone in Germany to win the title.

There are no games of note in Italy this weekend.

Now back to the NCAA's - go Gonzaga go!
