Cameroon vs. Croatia, 2014 World Cup group stage: Start time, TV schedule and more

Cameroon and Croatia meet in what is essentially a must-win match for both teams. Here’s how you can watch on TV and online.

Two teams that lost their group stage openers, Cameroon and Croatia, will meet on Wednesday with both countries fighting to keep their hopes of advancing to the Round of 16 alive.

Things seemed to be going fairly well for Croatia last Thursday against Brazil, until a questionable penalty call allowed the host to get a leg up and then pull away for a win. There was plenty of anger from the Croatian camp in the wake of the match, so we'll have to see if they're able to channel that into a positive performance against Cameroon. Luka Modrić's availability for this important game is in doubt after the Real Madrid midfielder picked up a foot injury in the loss against Brazil.

Cameroon vs. Croatia preview

Not much went right for Cameroon in their 1-0 loss to Mexico. If not for some mistakes by the officiating, it could have been 3-0, and considering how the Indomitable Lions played, it really should have been. They might be without striker Samuel Eto'o after the Chelsea star missed training on Friday and Saturday with a knee injury.
