The World Cup 2014 is live streaming on Saturday night on ESPN and WatchESPN with Ivory Coast and Japan playing on the schedule and this will be a big matchup in Group C and has the two teams looking to win the first group match and it starts up at 9 pm ET from Recife and is a huge matchup in Brazil and Yaya Toure will be front and center for his team.
The Ivory Coast is the favorite in the matchup and Japan will be looking to try and at least get a point out of things and now Toure will be right in the middle, while Didier Drogba will be on the bench to start and he needs to be a leader for the team. Japan and Ivory Coast is the last matchup of the day and comes at 9 pm ET.
This is the third day of the tournament and there are a number of exciting games and having four in one day will be rare through this tournament and England has advanced to the group stage the last 10 times and comes in looking to get started on the right track as they play against Italy, who could be one of the next tier teams to push ahead past favorites like Brazil, Germany, Argentina and Spain, although Spain hurt their chances greatly with the loss to the Netherlands to open group play.
Costa Rica comes in as a wildcards as well and they could be a dark horse in this group and this is their first time back at the World Cup since 2006 and they missed in 2010 and now they are looking to advance out of the group stage in a tough draw. Uruguay could also be a team to reckon with after finishing in fourth place in 2010 and they have one of the best players in the tournament with Luis Suarez and even with him not at 100 percent they will be a strong team to play with. Italy comes in with the pedigree as a four time champion and they have a strong team as well with players like Mario Balotelli and he will be key for them as they try to advance and getting points against England will be key.
