USMNT Weekend TV Guide & Open Thread (9/30-10/2)

The Final weekend before the international break is upon us and it offers a few tasty American vs. American match-ups. Early Saturday morning, John Brooks, fresh off of returning from injury, matches up against Bobby Wood. Hopefully you have access to Fox Soccer 2Go for that one.

MLS offers several interesting ones as well later on that night with RBNY and Sacha Kljestan taking on the Union and Alejandro Bedoya. Jozy Altidore and Michael Bradley face Steve Birnbaum, while Darlington Nagbe looks to score for his second straight game while Tim Howard will be hoping he doesn’t.

The always entertaining Pulisic Watch (TM) gets a stern test against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday afternoon. You can catch that one on Fox Sports 2 and Fox continues to market the youngster to the American fans.

It should be a good weekend of action. Head down to the comments and let us know if anything interesting happens. Here’s the full schedule for notable USMNT players (all times Eastern):
