The 2014 World Cup has started and Brazil kicked things off and now the match start times and ESPN channel for Friday has Spain, Netherlands, Australia, Chile, Mexico and Cameroon in Group A and Group B in action streaming online from ESPN and ESPN2 with the WatchESPN website as things kick off at 12 pm noon.

The first match of the day has Mexico taking on Cameroon and that will finish our Group A and that game will be at Natal and should be a tough matchup for the two teams. Getting out of Group A is crucial and getting a win here or at least a point will be very important. The group A set is a tough one and so is Group B and that has Spain coming in as the defending champions and they will be tough to beat.

The first game is Mexico and Cameroon playing against each other in Natal and that will be on ESPN2 starting up at 12 pm Noon and comes before Spain takes on the Netherlands and that will be in Salvador. The Chile and Australia game comes from Cuiaba and that will be on ESPN2 starting up at 6 pm and that should be a good matchup as well. Saturday continues the schedule and that has one of the biggest games with Italy and England playing against each other in the debut of the Amazon stadium.

The schedule continues on Monday with the Group of Death and that will be big for the United States, Portugal and Germany as well as Ghana, who is playing the US. Brazil won their opening game after an own goal and a controversial penalty kick and it saw two goals from Neymar and the brazil team continues to be a favorite and they are looking to win as the host nation after France did that back in 1998. The team is one of the favorites along with Germany, Argentina and Spain and they have a lot behind them and a very talented team.
