World Cup Announcing Assignments for June 20, 2014

Ok, the tripleheaders are dwindling down as the second round of Group Play is ready to end this weekend. Then it will be simultaneous doubleheaders starting on Monday.

But before we get ahead of ourselves, we have three more tripleheaders through Sunday.

ESPN/ESPN Radio and Univision/Univision Deportes will be busy today with games in Curitaba, Recife and Salvador. England will be paying close attention to the first game between Italy and Costa Rica. Should Italy win, England maintains slim hopes of advancing to the Knockout Round next Saturday.

So without further delay, we have the three games for Friday and the announcers who will call them on the networks of ESPN and Univision.
