DHAKA: Surely, the day three is very much important for football lovers as there are four matches between Saturday night to Sunday morning with Group C and Group D taking centre-stage, which includes the eagerly awaited England v Italy.

Colombia v Greece match will start the jam-packed day at 10:00pm where South American side Colombia - tipped by some as possible winners - play 2004 European champions Greece.

Later, Uruguay might have to contend without the services of key forward Luis Suarez, who is recovering from a knee operation, as they face Costa Rica at 1:00am.

However, they do have £55m Paris St-Germain striker Edinson Cavani, who will be hoping to get off the mark against the group outsiders.

The eagerly awaited England v Italy match is scheduled to be held at 4:00am, meanwhile there are questions -- will England avenge their defeat at Euro 2012? How will the European teams cope in the Amazonian climate of Manaus? Will Andrea Pirlo be allowed to pull the strings? Will Daniel Sturridge run the Azzurri ragged?

Finally, Manchester City's powerhouse midfielder Yaya Toure will be hoping to lead Ivory Coast to victory over Japan on 7:00am.
