World Cup Announcing Assignments for June 19, 2014

We go to Day 2 of the second round of Group Play. Once again, it’s a tripleheader on ESPN and Univision.

Games will be played in Brasilia, São Paulo and Natal and be in Group C and D. As they did in Rio on Wednesday, Ian Darke and Steve McManaman call the 3 p.m. ET game, this one involving England.

Here’s hoping we see some really interesting action as we did on Wednesday.
