The 2014 World Cup in Brazil will begin Thursday, June 12. ABC will broadcast a total of 10 matches, including the final. ESPN will broadcast 43 games while ESPN2 will pick up the remainder 11. Of course, the Spanish network Univision will offer its own 2014 World Cup coverage too. Finally, radio coverage via ESPN Radio and Fútbol de Primera will be available as well.
In less than a week, the world will be watching Brazil as the first of 64 matches begins. Given that the 2014 World Cup host country is Brazil, an immeasurable amount of pressure will be placed on the Brazilian national team. That said, the Brazilian team has long been a consistent favorite in the World Cup and is expected to advance the knockout rounds with ease. Brazil is one of the four Group A teams including Croatia, Cameroon, and Mexico.
Croatia and Mexico have near equal odds to becoming the second strongest team of Group A. It was exactly 12 years when Croatia last faced Mexico, where the Mexican national team won the 2002 World Cup match by a victory of 1-0. This time, both teams must play smart and capitalize on as many goals as possible before playing the Brazilian team.
Get ready for a month of action! For 2014 World Cup fans that will not have access to the cable television at home, all the games will be live streamed online via ESPN3.com. Smartphone users are recommended to install the WatchESPN app to never miss again. Without further ado, here is the 2014 World Cup games schedule:
