Virtual Viewing Party: Wednesday’s games

Posted on by Beau Dure

The first pass through the field of 32 comes to a merciful close today. Starting at 2:30 p.m. ET, teams had better pick it up a bit, or they’ll be booking plane flights out of Johannesburg.

On paper, Group H (first two games) should bring us out of the offensive doldrums today. But games aren’t played on paper — they’re played in the midst of thousands of vuvuzelas.

Our hosts are:

Honduras-Chile, 7:30 a.m. ET, ESPN
Spain-Switzerland, 10 a.m. ET, ESPN
South Africa-Uruguay, 2:30 p.m. ET, ESPN
(all on ESPN Deportes / ESPN3.com / Univision)
