2018 FIFA WORLD CUP
June 22, 2018  | By David Bianculli

Various Networks, 8:00 a.m. ET

 

The first game televised today is shown on Fox Sports 1, and is between two Group E teams still looking for their first wins: Brazil and Costa Rica (Costa Rica lost to Serbia, while the heavily favored Brazil tied with Switzerland). At 11 a.m. ET, the action switches to the Fox broadcast network, with Group D teams Nigeria and Iceland battling. Iceland, one of the surprise Davids in a tournament of Goliaths, managed a tie in its first game against the powerful Argentina (pictured), and hopes to advance with a win today. Then, at 2 p.m. ET, it’s another Group E game, with group leader Serbia facing Switzerland.
