World Cup Radio Stream: Listen Online Streaming France vs. Switzerland Match Live

The World Cup 2014 schedule is live on the radio with France and Switzerland playing from Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador and the game has a live stream from ESPN Radio at 3 pm ET in Brazil for the Group E matchup in the draw and the French side has the chance to basically lock up a spot in the group round after Karim Benzema led the team to a win in the opening match against Honduras.

Benzema has been the driving force for the team heading into this game and now he could be the key to getting a win here and a victory likely means the French side would be through to the knockout stage. The Swiss team came into the tournament seeded as part of FIFA's rankings and while they are higher than France, everyone expects France to win this group and that would help erase the demons from last year and right now the England team is dealing with some of that in 2014. France had a nice 3-0 win over Honduras to open things up and Benzema was key with two goals and he is one of the leading scorers at this Cup already.

The French side is very talented and players like Karim Benzema, Olivier Giroud, Hugo Lloris, and Blaise Matuid have the chance to help put their team into the next round with a win here. Benzema had two goals in the first game and that helped make up the loss of Franck Ribery after his back injury and the French side is looking to push away the demons after the way the team performed at the last World Cup in 2010 in South Africa. 

The Americans led 1-0 for most of the game against Ghana and it looked like three points was going to go to the US, but Ghana tied up the game after the 80th minute and that broke a tin if hearts. Little did everyone know there would be some more dramatics later on. The US played a little tight to try and keep things at bay, but a corner kick changed all if that, as Graham Zusi put a beautiful set piece in play and fellow substitute John Brooks was able to put it in the net. The United States had to suffer through some more chances from Ghana, but they were able to hang on and now they could be one of the wild cards on this whole tournament, even with Jozy Altidore injured after coming down with a hamstring strain.

England now needs Costa Rica to lose their next match after winning over Uruguay and that game is against Italy and is crucial for England to stay alive. The team has zero points now out of two games and this was a true heartbreaker, as Wayne Rooney scored late on a beautiful touch near the net to tie the game, but it was short lived, as Suarez was able to put one more in the back of the net and he now has shown why he won player of the year this season at Liverpool. Costa Rica now has won and England is done for and that means their World Cup is over and done with.
