France vs Nigeria Live Stream Free: Watch Online World Cup 2014 Last 16 Football (ESPN TV Start Time)

France will play Nigeria on Monday as the World Cup 2014 Last 16 continues. France have been in fantastic form so far in the tournament, and that has led some to tout them as potential winners this year. However, Nigeria will be hoping to cause an upset today and claim a place in the quarterfinals at France's expense. The game is scheduled to kick off at 12 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the ESPN network, or online through free live stream (details below).

In team news, France's midfielder Yohan Cabaye will return to the team having served his suspension, however, defender Mamadou Sakho is likely to be out due to a thigh injury.

For Nigeria, forward Victor Moses is still a doubt. He missed the Argentina game with an injury and it is still uncertain whether he has made it back to fitness in time for today's game. He will face a late fitness test to confirm whether or not he will play a part today.
