2014 WORLD CUP
June 14, 2014  | By David Bianculli

ABC, 12:00 p.m. ET

 

So far, the 2014 World Cup is two days old, and already has served up one newsworthy game per day. Thursday, it was Brazil’s all but mandatory opening-game defeat of Croatia, a game that began with an embarrassing own goal by Brazil and a very questionable call. Friday, it was a replay of the 2010 championship game, with defending champion Spain once again facing the Netherlands – but this time with the Netherlands stunning Spain, and anyone watching worldwide, with a 5-1 rout, featuring some positively brilliant individual and group play. Today, there are four games, with the first two presented on ABC: Colombia vs. Greece at noon ET, followed at 3 p.m. ET by Uruguay vs. Costa Rica. The remaining two games are televised by ESPN: the day’s most enticing match, England (pictured) vs. Italy, begins at 6 p.m. ET (somewhere, Andy Capp will be watching), followed at 9 p.m. ET by the Ivory Coast vs. Japan. Goooooooooal!!!!
