FOX Soccer will be televising 11 of the 12 games live with presumably the July 27 match in Spain the one game that FOX won’t televise. Sirius XM, meanwhile, will broadcast the games on radio in the United States.

Personally, I’m extremely excited at the rare chance of seeing all eight of these teams playing in my neighborhood (Miami). It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see many of the best teams in the world warming up for the new season. Plus, the fact that so many European teams are coming over to the United States is an excellent indication of the growth of the game in the States, the investment by Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross and the potential economic windfall that clubs can receive by expanding their brand in the United States.
