Best-bets for Aug. 7: stars of soccer and fashion

1) “Nexaca,” debut, 9 and 10 p.m., FXX, rerunning at 11 and midnight. Created 102 years ago, Club Nexaca has had years of greatness in Mexican soccer … and years of decline. Now Eva Longoria (shown here) fronts a group that bought half of it. After her charming introduction, this Spanish-language series (with sub-titles) has a sharply filmed look at revival efforts.

2) “Project Runway,” 10 p.m., Freeform. The second week offers another quirky assignment — start with boring fabric and create beauty. And Freeform again provides an ideal movie lead-in. Last week was “Cruella,” with its Oscar-winning fashions; now, at 7:30, it’s “The Devil Wears Prada” (2006), with Meryl Streep subtly perfect as a fashion editor.

3) “Bob’s Burgers,” 8 p.m., Fox. In a new episode, Louisa makes a video for a classmate’s bodyguard business. That’s followed by reruns: “The Great North” at 8:30, a fun “1% Club” (including competing math teachers) at 9.

4) “Press Your Luck,” 9 and 10 p.m., ABC. Earlier, past losers on the show had a chance to redeem themselves. That hour reruns at 10 p.m., preceded by a new redemption hour at 9. At 8, “Celebrity Family Feud” has reality-show stars Kyle Richards and Kandi Buruss-Tucker, plus pro football players.

5) “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage,” 9 p.m., CBS. A good comedy got better when Mandy’s brother added a girlfriend; in this rerun, she needs a place to stay. Also, there are fresh doubts about Mandy’s ability to handle money. At 9:30, “Ghosts” has Alberta help Sam prepare for a play audition.
