⚽️ Europe’s Soccer Kings Arrive Stateside

NFL stadiums across the U.S. will play host to elite soccer clubs this weekend. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City and more are playing a series of friendlies in the U.S. this weekend ... we get a look at the Los Angeles Rams’ Super Bowl bling ... and more! Lambeau Field is primed and ready for a blockbuster matchup between two of the best teams in the business. So is Allegiant Stadium, the gleaming Raiders' home nestled next to the Las Vegas Strip, preparing to host the latest installment of a fierce and fiery rivalry. No, you didn't just take a two-month nap and wake up with the NFL season already underway. This is the time of year when a different kind of football is played out across traditional gridiron cathedrals across the country. Yes, NFL stadiums throughout the U.S. are being pressed into summer service once more, as the latest collection of elite European soccer teams heads stateside for a lucrative part of their preseason preparations. On Saturday, Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona will go head-to-head in Vegas. The same day, English Premier League rivals Arsenal and Chelsea — separated by just a few miles of London — will play at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, a six-hour flight from home. Lambeau will host reigning EPL champion Manchester City against Bayern Munich, which holds the German Bundesliga title. The list of reasons why so many teams come to America, and keep coming back, goes something like this: Money, warm weather, fine training facilities, money, exposure to the large American market, familiarity, money, large crowds, a chance to escape the pressures and distractions of home, and, you guessed it, money. It is a flirtatious relationship between Europe's biggest teams and the U.S., but questions still remain whether the swath of preseason exhibitions, or "friendlies," does much to help the game in this country. The answer is yes and no. It's complicated.

[BET OF THE DAY] [BET OF THE DAY] Odds provided by [FOX Bet]( Utah to win the Pac-12: +300 From FOX Sports Betting Analyst Geoff Schwartz: The Utes know exactly what they've got in quarterback Cam Rising. Rising is the best QB in the conference entering this season, and he has the most productive running back returning to his backfield. The Utes do have to replace two linemen, but they return the best tight end group in the conference. On defense, they are talented both on the line and in the secondary. Overall, Utah is always well-coached, consistently has excellent special teams and rarely loses at home. For the latest betting odds, [click here](.
