How to watch Brazil vs Costa Rica: live stream World Cup football free from anywhere
Live stream Brazil vs Costa Rica – when and where
Brazil vs Costa Rica in Group E takes place on Friday, June 22. The venue is the impressive St Petersburg Stadium, holding 67,000 spectators.
Kick-off is 3pm local time, so that’s 1pm BST, 8am PT, 5am ET, 1pm AEST. You’ll need to tune in at 9am in Brazil and 6am in Costa Rica.
With the group stages of the World Cup 2018 reaching the halfway stage, we’re beginning to get a clearer idea of who will make the all-important knock-out stages at Russia 2018. And we know that people will be live streaming Brazil vs Costa Rica in their droves – so this page will tell you how.
Brazil will once again be hot favourites in this Group E clash, with a talent-rich squad expected to put on a show against Costa Rica. Hoping to pass a late fitness test,, Neymar will surely be influential in orchestrating Brazil’s assault on the Costa Rican goal, but if the Paris St-Germain star is not firing (or not available) there are plenty of dangerous forwards to pick up the slack.
You wouldn’t envy Costa Rica’s rearguard going into this one, yet hearteningly for the Los Ticos, much of their strength lies in their organisation and defensive qualities at this World Cup. Giancarlo González of Bologna and Oscar Duarte of Espanol form a solid presence in the middle of the defence, while star of the squad, Real Madrid’s Keylor Navas, will be hard to beat behind them.
Could we have another upset on the cards? Or is this Brazil side the real deal, and the Switzerland draw was a mere blip? You can find out with a free live stream of Brazil vs Costa Rica via one of the options outlined below. Don’t forget you can stay across all live streams at the 2018 World Cup wherever you are in the world, courtesy of our World Cup watching guide.
