Nigeria vs Iran World Cup 2014 preview, start time, ESPN TV schedule

Nigeria will play Iran on Monday as the World Cup 2014 tournament continues with three more games today.

This Group F clash will kick off at 3 p.m. EST and will be broadcast on the ESPN network. The game can also be watched online through the live stream link provided below.

Amazingly both Nigeria and Iran are vying to win their first World Cup match since way back in 1998 when the World Cup took place in France.

The two teams will feel they have a good chance this year at progressing from this group. Argentina will be big favorites to win the group in top spot, however, Nigeria, Iran and Bosnia will feel they all have a good chance at stealing second spot.

However, by the end of today's game one of those three could already be against the ropes. Whoever loses today would face the improbable task of having to beat both Bosnia and Argentina to progress. But the team who wins today will know another win against Bosnia would put them through to the next round.

Nigeria are probably the favorites to take second spot. They are considered a powerhouse of African football, and if they can shake off their recent World Cup form and play up to their potential then they have the players to get them out of this group.

Four years ago in South Africa, Nigeria only managed two draws and a loss from their three group games as they crashed out in the First Round stage. They will want to better that showing in today's game alone by taking all three points.
