2014 WORLD CUP
June 25, 2014  | By David Bianculli

ESPN, 12:00 p.m. ET

 

Today’s games decide the fates of the teams in Groups E and F. On ESPN, play begins at noon ET with Group F’s Nigeria vs. Argentina. Argentina already has earned its way into the upcoming knockout round, while Nigeria can advance if it earns a win, or a draw, against Argentina, which has plenty of reasons to save some resources for the next game. Then, at 4 p.m. ET, ESPN presents Group E’s Ecuador vs. France match. If France wins or draws, it will win the group and advance to knockout play – but if Ecuador wins, it will advance. So this game will be the much more intense of the two, since both teams are still in play.
