The World Cup 2014 is live with France and Honduras on the schedule Sunday and the match is streaming live online in Brazil and the stream coverage comes from WatchESPN at Porto Alegre starting off at 3 pm ET from Estadio Beira-Rio and it is a big group match as both teams get started in the tournament and try to get into the knockout stage.
France comes in looking to bounce back after a very rough 2010 campaign and they will be looking to get out of Group E and they are one of the favorites in the set coming in and they have a tough draw and this first match is key. France plays next against Switzerland and they are a seeded team in the FIFA rankings and they next will play against Ecuador and that will be in Rio de Janeiro. Franck Ribery is a key player for the French side and they will be looking to start off fast and aggressive.
England opened up their World Cup draw with a rough match against Italy and they lost their opener for the first time in years and that puts Wayne Rooney and company in a tough spot. Daniel Sturridge scored for England and Rooney now needs to step up after just missing in a great chance and now the team has to get points in their next match.
Mario Balotelli had the winning goal on a great header and the play was set up on the wing and that brought the defense down and wide and allowed the attack to get near Joe Hart and that resulted in the goal. England now has to find a way to bounce back and they will play Uruguay next and the loser in that game will have a very tough road to the knockout stage and both come in desperately needing points. Luis Suarez say out for Uruguay as they lost to Costa Rica and now That group will be very tough to get out of if either of those teams lose again and Italy is looking very strong.
The Monday schedule has some very anticipated matches with the group of death in Group G and that has the United States and Ghana opening up and that is a massive game for both teams as the loser could basically be done in a group this tough. Germany comes in as one of the favorites for the tournament and they open with Portugal and that is big for both teams, as each side has injuries to deal with including a not 100 percent Cristiano Ronaldo.
The World Cup group schedule continues over the next week and then leads into the knockout stage and the round of 16 is where everyone is hoping to be when things shake out.
