Most of the world's top soccer league's kicked off last weekend while the Western Hemisphere is well ahead of the game, and they're all back at it this weekend. The German Bundesliga joins the fray this week after La Liga kicked off Aug. 15 and the Premier League, Serie A and Ligue 1 all started last weekend. In the Premier League, Chelsea host Brighton at Stamford Bridge, and newly-promoted sides square off as Coventry City hosts Hull City.
