Soccer Wednesday: Your Running Commentary

In addition to the number of Americans that are in action on Wednesday, Barcelona and Real Madrid both have Copa del Rey semifinal first-leg matches, which should make for a rather exciting day of mid-week soccer.

Real Madrid must travel to Sevilla for its match (2 p.m., ESPN3.com/ESPNDeportes), while Barcelona will host Almeria (4 p.m., GOLTV). If both favorites can take care of business, they'll be one step closer to setting up a dream Clasico final.

Aside from the Copa del Rey, Jonathan Spector and West Ham will look to advance to the Carling Cup final by holding off Birmingham (2:45 p.m. Fox Soccer.tv/Fox Soccer Plus), and Clint Dempsey and Fulham aim to climb the Premier League table with a match at Liverpool (3 p.m., Fox Soccer Channel).

As for key matches featuring Americans not being televised in the United States, Maurice Edu and Rangers face Hibernian (2:45) and Oguchi Onyewu and FC Twente take on Eredivisie leader PSV Eindhoven in the Dutch Cup quarterfinals (2:45).

If you will be watching any of Wednesday's matches either on television or via Internet feed, please feel free to share any thoughts, opinions and some play-by-play in the comments section below. Enjoy the action!

Sure, names like Lance Armstrong, Greg LeMond and defending champion Alberto Contador will go down in the annals of cycling history. Money? Certainly, the winners make some dough from winning and from the sponsorship deals that can result. The challenge of it all? No doubt, there are some competitors just looking to see where they rank among the top athletes in the sport. But there's another reason to race. If you win, you get to stand on the podium with some of the world's most beautiful women. Whether they're delivering handshakes, kisses or the radiant yellow jersey , these ladies serve as serious motivation t...

No matter what the situation, you can bet that there will be some sexy ladies on the sidelines cheering them on, just as they have been all season. Cheerleaders are a wonderful part of the game, but it's hard to see all of them during brief appearances during games, and it's way too time consuming to check all of them out online.

So for your viewing enjoyment, here are the 25 Hottest NFL Cheerleaders. No. 25: Chiefs—Suzie Kansas City has it rough in professional sports.
