There are lots of leagues in action on Friday, but almost none of them are putting their best on display. All of the European soccer being played on Friday is mediocre, at best. The good news is that the Americas are doing their best to provide something watchable.
Soccer viewing guide, 2/22: Your usual Friday slate of meh
There’s always some soccer on Friday. It’s always really average.


Today’s Bundesliga game is on GolTV, while La Liga can be found on beIN Sport en Español. The Baby Yanks, who are trying to qualify for the Under-20 World Cup, can be seen on FOX Soccer. The early Liga MX game is on ESPN Deportes and Azteca America, while the late game can be found on the very elusive Univision Deportes.
Included as a bonus: A-League, for after you drunkenly stumble home from the bar.
