World Cup Recap: Day 3

Day three of the 2014 FIFA World Cup saw 4 matches played out with one surprise victory by an underdog.

In group C:

Colombia 3-0 Greece

Ivory Coast 2-1 Japan

In Group D:

Uruguay 1-3 Costa Rica

England 1-2 Italy

Costa Rica got a surprise win over favorites Uruguay, while Italy narrowly beat England in a game most thought would end in a draw. Ivory Coast and Colombia both played to expectation and beat their rivals but showed signs of weakness that might hinder them should they pass the group stage.

Colombia joins Mexico as the only two teams to exit their first game without conceding a goal, a fact Colombians will no doubt be glad to hear since this is their first World Cup since 1998.

Tomorrow Group E and F play in the following match ups

Switzerland v Ecuador @ Noon

France v Honduras @ 3PM

Argentina v Bosnia @ 6 PM
