FIFA World Cup 2014 ESPN TV schedule: How to watch Colombia vs Ivory Coast soccer online

Colombia will face a stiff test on Thursday in their second Group C game at World Cup 2014. They face an Ivory Coast team packed with attacking talent, which should give a clear indication of where Colombia stand in this World Cup. They looked impressive in their 3-0 win over Greece, but many have claimed that win was as much to do with Greece's poor display as Colombia's good performance.

Today's game between Colombia and Ivory Coast will kick off at 12 p.m. EST and will be broadcast on ESPN. The game will also be available to watch online – free for subscribers – via the link provided below.

Both Colombia and Ivory Coast won their opening game. Colombia gaining that 3-0 victory of Greece to top the group early on, and Ivory Coast coming back from a goal down to defeat Japan 2-1.

That Ivory Coast win against Japan was particularly impressive as the Japan side has looked good ahead of the World Cup, and are one of the most hard-working teams in the tournament. A 100 second spell in the second half saw the Ivory Coast turn a 0-1 deficit into a 2-1 win. They will hope they can continue that momentum in today's game against Colombia.

Whoever can claim the three points today will almost certainly qualify for the Last 16. However, for the team that loses, things will not be completely over, but it may mean they have to take three points from their final game.
