The 2014 World Cup has been quite a tournament so far, even though, four days in, several teams haven’t even played yet. But of the games played thus far, there hasn’t been a single tie, and there have been several outstanding goals and surprising upsets. England, one of many countries where football is more religion than diversion, lost to Italy. The Netherlands didn’t just beat Spain, but trounced it, 5-1. And today, we get three more games. ABC’s coverage begins at 11:30 a.m. ET, 30 minutes before the first match begins, with Switzerland facing Ecuador. The next game begins at 3 p.m. ET, with France vs. Honduras, and ESPN covers the day’s final game, with a 5:30 p.m. ET telecast that sets up the contest between Argentina and Bosnia-Herzegovina. For a full story on World Cup coverage to date, and a preview of what to expect today, see Monique Nazareth’s MNtv.
