Of the three games to be played today, all televised by ESPN and prefaced by 30-minute pre-game shows, the most pivotal is the one beginning at 3 p.m. ET, when England faces Uruguay. Both of these Group D teams dropped their initial games, and only the winner of this game has a realistic chance to advance past the group stage. Also played today, at 6 p.m. ET, is another game with similar stakes, this time from Group C: Japan vs. Greece, who lost their first games as well. But starting the day, at noon ET, is a contest pitting the two in Group C that won their first time out: Colombia and the Ivory Coast.
