2014 WORLD CUP
June 18, 2014  | By David Bianculli

ESPN, 12:00 p.m. ET

 
Today’s live telecasts feature all four teams in Group B undergoing their second games in this year’s World Cup, along with the remaining two teams in Brazil’s Group A. All games are shown on ESPN, with setup features presented 30 minutes earlier. First up, at noon ET, is Australia vs. the Netherlands. The Netherlands stunned the much-favored defending world champion Spain in the first round by drubbing them 5-1, while Australia fell to Chile, 3-1. Next at 3:00 p.m. from Group B is Spain vs. Chile. Spain was so embarrassed in its loss to the Netherlands, it’ll be desperate for a win against Chile – so, another tough game. And finally, at 6 p.m. from Group A, it’s Cameroon vs. Croatia. Both teams lost their opening matches, so will be equally keen on securing a win, rather than a draw or loss, today. In other words, all three games today should be played at a fast pace, and with extreme emotion.
