FIFA World Cup: Schedule, TV time and storylines for Friday, June 22
Brazil returns to 2018 World Cup play after a disappointing draw to Switzerland on Sunday. But, will its star player — Neymar — be on the field when the team takes on Costa Rica in Saint Petersburg?
Neymar has been in pain since taking a beating in the Switzerland game, and then limped off the practice field with pain in his right ankle on Tuesday.
Everybody's favorite underdog, Iceland, was presented with a golden opportunity to make it through the group stage after Argentina was defeated by Croatia. Iceland — which drew with Argentina in its first-ever World Cup game — takes on Nigeria on Friday. A win would put Iceland into strong contention to move on.
Looking to contend with Brazil in Group E are Serbia and Switzerland, who square off Friday in the day's final game.
