WORLD CUP OPEN THREAD: DAY THREE

The Dutch, eh?  Goddamn.

That was... wow.

Today sees Colombia in action (sans best player Radamel Falco) against Greece in the morning action, followed by Uruguay (possibly also sans their best player, Luis Suarez) against Costa Rica.  The main attraction is in the early evening, though: England v. Italy.  There will be great beards.  There will be diving.  There will also probably be England doing something stupid.  The night-cap is Ivory Coast taking on Japan.  Samurai vs. Elephants, eh?  Paging SyFy...

TODAY'S GAMES:

Colombia v. Greece (11 AM CT, ABC and Watch ABC, Adrian Healey & Taylor Twellman)
Uruguay v. Costa Rica (2 PM CT, ABC and Watch ABC, Jon Champion & Stewart Robson)
England v. Italy (5 PM CT, ESPN and WatchESPN, Ian Darke & Steve McManaman)
Ivory Coast v. Japan (8 PM CT, ESPN and WatchESPN, Derek Rae & Efan Ekoku)

The usual rules apply.
