More soccer is on the slate this week. Hungary and the Czech Republic will see their teams return to the pitch, while teams in Germany, Costa Rica, and South Korea are happy to be playing once more. Other European leagues are slated to restart next week, giving sports fans the rarity of domestic soccer in the summer. That came at the expense of the Euros and other regional tournaments, but when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
