Merseyside Derby Lambananas
While most of America will no doubt be focused on the American version of football this weekend, there are plenty of futbol matches for you to watch instead. Here are a bunch of selections; one each from the German Bundesliga, the Italian Serie A, and the Spanish La Liga; a handful from the English Premier League; and an international Copa Centroamerica match, broadcast live from Panama City.
As usual, all times Eastern-you do the math for your time zone:
Friday, Jan 14
2:30pm, ESPN Deportes & ESPN3.com: Bayer Leverkusen v Dortmund #1 vs #3 in the Bundesliga table. See a detailed match preview here.

Yes, he is Liverpool's caretaker manager for the remainder of the season, following the dismissal of Roy Hodgson. But in Liverpool, he is much more than that-he is King Kenny, Liverpool's greatest player ever, #1 on the list of 100 Players Who Shook the Kop:

Some commentary by the BigThink writer (Frank Jacobs, author of their Strange Maps sub-blog):
It shows the clear geographical slant of football fandom in the British capital: the centres of gravity for each 'fanland' tend to be around the home grounds of each team.
As with other fan loyalty maps, this one has a decidedly feudal feel to it. None of the clear, straight delineations of modern borders, but lots of fuzzy boundaries, transitional zones, and enclaves in 'enemy' territory.

In what should come as no shock to any of us, Roy Hodgson took the axe today as Liverpool replaced him with fan-favorite Kenny Dalglish. We've had a soft spot for Hodgson, what with his classy subdued demeanor and his leading of Fulham into the top six plus Europa final over the last two season.
Sadly, he never got it going at Liverpool. The players didn't seem to want to play for him, and when you're working with a squad of also-rans, you need to encourage them to perform above their level. His side seemed more willing to coast on Liverpool's storied history, hoping the very thought of the team would upset opponents and win them games. That's not to say Roy didn't have a hand in their failure, and once he lost the support of the fans there was really no way he could co

The two historied English clubs played earlier today, in a 3rd Round FA Cup matchup at the Emirates. While today's was an interesting match, their most famous FA Cup clash was on May 6, 1972 at Wembley-in the centenary FA Cup Final. Leeds won 1-0 to win their 1st and only FA Cup.
Unlike today, when it would have been a major upset for Leeds to hang on for a victory against Arsenal, in 1972 they were perhaps the two strongest sides in English football. Arsenal had pulled off the double the previous season, winning both the league and the FA Cup, with Leeds finishing 2nd in the 1970-71 First Division table-just a single point behind the Gunners.
It's a game that's well-documented online, by and for Leeds supporters; e.g., a Yorkshire Evening Post photo gallery which

[Editor's note: Coach Larry takes over this week's edition of our weekend viewing guide, with some color(ful) commentary on this weekend's FA matches in England. As usual, TV listings pulled from WaPo SoccerInsider's useful weekly post, and all times ET.]
Saturday, Jan 8
England FA Cup, Sheffield United-Aston Villa 10 a.m. FSC: Aston Villa play at Sheffield United. Can relegation candidates in one league overcome them in another? Can either use it as a springboard to survival or will advancement divide their attention? Will Guzan play? Who will Randy Lerner kiss if Villa do something good?
Sunday Jan 9
England FA Cup, Manchester United-Liverpool 8:30 a.m. FSC: The Biggie.

The year has come to a close, and as is the fashion we're looking over our favorite stories to compile a starting eleven, Cult Football style. The players on our squad aren't always the most talented, but they tend to bring a joy, or promise, or general absurdity to the game. We hope you've enjoyed the time you've spent with us over the last six months, and here's a wish of good fortune to all in the new year!
Now without further ado, our Cult Football XI selection for 2010.
StrikersWe could fill a whole team with these egomaniacs if we employed the 1-9 formation so popular in the nineteenth century. Instead, we're going with the classic two up top (we haven't quite caught up with the 4-2-3-1 formation that's all the rage nowadays). We passed on a

As you sit nursing your hangover, why not turn to the headache-soothing action of Premier Leauge play? We know of no better way to pass through the haze of the year's first day into the clarity you'll need to fight the future's impending troubles. You know the sort of things we mean: climate change, declining standards of education, goal line technology, and so forth.
West Brom-Manchester United, 7:45am ESPN2, ESPND The Baggies are a fun side to watch, and at home they'll be less inclined to sit back and defend against the current table-toppers. Not that they know how. The team likes to attack, and since they'll be missing two starting backs their best bet is to keep the ball in the offensive third. United are heavy favorites,
