2014 WORLD CUP
June 17, 2014  | By David Bianculli

ESPN, 11:30 a.m. ET

 

After yesterday’s thrilling U.S.A. opening game against Ghana, more people than ever will be paying attention to the World Cup here in the States. (Everywhere else in the world, they already were.) Today, ESPN presents all three games being played. The first and third feature the final teams to play their first opening-round games, from Group H: at 11:30 a.m. ET, Belgium vs. Algeria, and at 5:30 p.m. ET, Russia vs. South Korea. And sandwiched in between is the day’s premium draw: the second game featuring host nation Brazil, who, at 2:30 p.m. ET, plays Mexico, and is a team to watch, with fans and cheerleaders to match. Right now, both Brazil and Mexico won their openers, and are atop their Group A division. After today, that may well change. Or not, if they battle to a draw.
